> We have copyright and intellecual property law already, of course, but those were designed presuming a human might try to profit from the intellectual labor of others. With AI, we're in the industrial era of the digital world. Now a single corporation can train an AI using someone's copyrighted work and in return profit off the knowledge over and over again at industrial scale.
The idea that copyright simply doesn't apply to AI has more to do with AI companies deciding that they're not going to comply with those laws than the design of the laws. Also a very successful lobby against enforcement by positioning AI as a strategic necessity.
It's not possible (or at least extremely hard) to prove that the final weights they come up with resulted from copyright infringement.
Thats why they are evaluated so high on the stock market. Basically the will steal all the value of intellectual property in a semi legal way.
