AI and copyright: should artists be paid?
Generative AIs are trained on artists' works.
- Ban it without the authors' consent and payment
- A collective licence that pays authors
- Let it happen, or Europe will fall behind
What's at stake: The debate pits artists' rights over their work against the freedom to innovate with tools that learn from vast amounts of works.
The left's argument
Using artists' work without their consent or any payment is plain appropriation.
The centre's argument
A collective licence that pays the authors whose works are used to train AI.
The right's argument
AI learns the way a human draws inspiration. Blocking its training holds back innovation.
