On December 20, 11 U.S. authors, including Taylor Blanche and Stacey Schiff, sued the U.S. artificial intelligence company OpenAI and Microsoft in federal court in Manhattan, New York, alleging that they misused their work to train the chatbot ChatGPT.
The writers told the court that OpenAI infringed the copyright of their works by copying their works from the internet in bulk without permission and including them in ChatGPT's training data. They also said that because Microsoft was "deeply involved" in training and developing AI models, it should also be liable for infringement. The writers filed a claim for an unspecified amount of damages from the court and asked the court to order the companies to cease and desist from copyright infringement.
China's AI applications are accelerating in the financial, telecommunications, manufacturing, and healthcare industries
At present, with the deepening integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and the transformation of the digital scene of the Internet platform to the metaverse, the overall demand for the total amount and richness of digital content continues to increase. As a new type of content production mode, AIGC has taken the lead in making significant innovations and developments in industries with a high degree of digitalization and rich content demand, such as media, e-commerce, film and television, and entertainment, and its market potential is gradually emerging. At the same time, in the process of promoting the combination of data and reality and accelerating industrial upgrading, AIGC applications in various industries such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and industry are also developing rapidly.
According to IDC, the top five industries in terms of application penetration in Chinese's artificial intelligence industry in 2022 are Internet, finance, government, telecommunications, and manufacturing. In addition, the value of AI for autonomous driving and transportation logistics cannot be ignored, according to McKinsey, AI will create 380 billion yuan of economic value for the transportation sector.
Enterprise competition: The competition is fierce, and the leading Internet companies have advantages, but there are many latecomers
At present, the AIGC industry in mainland China can be divided into three hierarchical structures: infrastructure layer, model layer and application layer. The leading listed companies in the AIGC industry mainly include Baidu (BIDU. O), iFLYTEK (002230.SZ), Tencent (00700.HK), etc.; The leading companies in the unlisted AIGC industry include Alibaba, Douyin Group, Huawei, Xiaoice, Qiyuan World, Innovation Qizhi, Yingpu Technology, Tors, Yunbo Technology, Lianhui Technology, Glance Technology, Shituoyun, KLCII, Mobvoi, Wujie AI, etc. It is worth mentioning that Hyperparameters and Xiaoice have clearly become unicorns, and Minmax is rumored to be valued at more than a billion dollars.
"Until people's original copyright can not be fundamentally protected, all copyright protection of AI-generated works is empty talk. In the opinion of the "two-dimensional" illustrator, after all, AI-generated works are mainly based on a large amount of data training, and the feeding of a large number of original works is the root of the formation and improvement of the AIGC model.
"Generative AI is growing rapidly and has been widely used in practice, with many advantages such as high quality, high efficiency and high performance. Artificial intelligence trained by big data has shown superb creativity in literary creation, music production and painting creativity, and its independently created works can be comparable to or even surpass human beings, which makes clarifying the copyright ownership of AI works a real and urgent problem to be solved. Yan Xiaohong, chairman of the Copyright Society of China, said at the "2023 International Copyright Forum", an important unit of the 9th China International Copyright Expo.
