Microsoft is exploring a way to credit contributors to AI training data


According to a job listing, Microsoft is launching a project to estimate the influence of specific training data on the media AI models create.

According to the listing, which seeks a research intern, the project will attempt to demonstrate that models can be trained in such a way that the impact of particular data — e.g. photos and books — on their outputs can be “efficiently and usefully estimated.” Several software developers have also filed suit against Microsoft, claiming that the firm’s GitHub Copilot AI coding assistant was unlawfully trained using their protected works. Several of the top labs, including Google and OpenAI, have published policy documents recommending that the Trump Administration weaken copyright protections as they relate to AI development.
