‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says


Pressure grows on artificial intelligence firms over the content used to train their products

Chatbots such as ChatGPT and image generators like Stable Diffusion are “trained” on a vast trove of data taken from the internet, with much of it covered by copyright – a legal protection against someone’s work being used without permission. Getty Images, which owns one of the largest photo libraries in the world, is suing the creator of Stable Diffusion, Stability AI, in the US and in England and Wales for alleged copyright breaches.
