Google says AI systems should be able to mine publishers’ work unless companies opt out

The tech company’s latest proposal about generative AI turns copyright law on its head, and could especially hurt smaller content creators, say experts

In its submission to the Australian government’s review of the regulatory framework around AI, Google said that copyright law should be altered to allow for generative AI systems to scrape the internet.

      To take those statements seriously, you will need to:

      • define and describe in detail the processes by which “a person” learns
      • define and describe in detail how “a person” transforms anything
      • define and describe in detail what is “intelligence”
      • define and describe in detail what these “artificial paeudointelligences” are doing
      • define and describe in detail the differences between the latter and the previous points

      Otherwise, I’ll claim that “a person” is running exactly the same processes (neural networks, LLMs, hallucinations), and that calling these AIs “artificial paeudointelligences” is nothing else than dehumanizing a minority just because you feel threatened by them.
