Europe is preparing to regulate tools capable of generating content using artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT. A preliminary agreement of the legislators of the UE intends to force the companies behind this type of system to reveal the copyrighted material that has been used for his training. This is reflected in a new draft of the Artificial Intelligence Law that European regulators have been working on for years and that has been collected by ‘The Wall Street Journal’.
In the event that the regulations come to fruition, editors and content creators -among them the media, photographers and cartoonists- will be able to ask the developer companies for part of the profits generated by the artificial intelligence shift. As long as, of course, your work has been used to improve how the tool works.
“This opens the door for rights holders,” said Dragos Tudorache, a member of the European Parliament who co-directs the body’s work on the AI Law in statements collected by ‘WSJ’. “Our goal is to improve accountability, transparency, and scrutiny of these models,” he concluded.
It should be remembered that ChatGPT, or tools dedicated to image generation, such as DALL-E or Midjourney do not create anything by themselves. All the work they do is possible thanks to the huge amount of information, coming from all over the Internet, with which its developers have trained it.
The proposal for the European Artificial Intelligence Law was made in 2021 and is expected to be approved before the end of 2023. It is a pioneering regulation that segments the uses of artificial intelligence based on its potential dangerousness for users and indicates the cases in which it can be used and the requirements that must be met. Currently, legislators are looking for ways to fit into it the use of tools like ChatGPT.
Precisely, the viral artificial intelligence owned by OpenAI is in the crosshairs of the EU data protection agencies due to the company’s lack of transparency about the data that ChatGPT collects from users and the use it gives them. Italy blocked the system a few weeks ago for this reason, while countries like Spain or Germany have already announced that they are investigating it.
