Copyright Alliance Creator Members:
We wanted to make you aware of an open letter being circulated that calls for AI companies to license the creative works they use to train their systems. Signatures are being assembled from across creative industries—musicians, authors, artists, designers, writers, photographers, actors, and more, as well as signatories from media companies.
The letter is more of a short statement than an actual letter. It provides that:
The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works and must not be permitted.
If you or anyone you know is interested in signing this statement, you can go to https://www.aitrainingstatement.org/ to sign it and your name will be displayed online along with a list of signatories as the campaign progresses.
Open letter AI
If you see fit, please feel free to also share the statement and link with your colleagues, fellow creators, friends, etc. Importantly, for the time being, please do not post the statement on public channels at this stage.
The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.
