Big Tech, Big Deals, Small Change
Manage episode 423296329 series 3514956
In this episode we take a look at very recent deals that tech giants have made with media and content platforms to train their AI models, with consent. We are asking: is the tide turning for training AI towards a licensing model, and away from crawling the web in the wild?
In recent months Open AI has made deals with at least 11 companies, to access their content for the purpose of training AI technologies. Those companies include Shutterstock, Le Monde, News Corp, The Financial Times, Vox Media and the Associated Press.
What might this mean for freelancers contracting with those companies in future ? And have the tech giants got themselves a cheap deal ?
