Episode notes
AI Models and IP
- AI models themselves are a new form of intellectual property, raising licensing questions around their weights and training.
- The legality of training models on publicly available web data is debated, with arguments for "non-expressive use" falling under fair use.
Content Licensing Deals
- Content licensing deals, like those between OpenAI and media outlets, often focus on the value of the content itself, not just training data.
- These deals may benefit large corporations more than individual creators.
Open Models for Creative Control
- Train open-source models to specialize them for specific creative tasks, enhancing control and ownership.
- This empowers artists and businesses to own their AI tools and outputs, fostering innovation and competition.
