“The Copyright Office is undergoing a review of AI systems that could clarify the rights authors have. And companies are, on their own, establishing creator protections. DALL-E 3 won’t respond to prompts asking it to copy a living artist’s style by name, and artists can request to have their work excluded from training data for models to come. Maybe model-makers will also voluntarily license at least high-profile work to avoid the possibility of a lawsuit down the road. A promising example is Axel Springer’s recently signed deal with OpenAI by which the model-makers will pay to use content from the publishing behemoth’s properties, such as Politico and Business Insider, as well as link to those sources when it employs them to answer a question.”
