This Week in AI: Generative AI and the problem of compensating creators


In this edition of This Week in AI, we take a look at research from an OpenAI scientist on compensating data set contributors.

“We’ve spent billions of dollars gathering information and reporting news at our publications, and we can’t allow OpenAI and Microsoft to expand the big tech playbook of stealing our work to build their own businesses at our expense,” Frank Pine, the executive editor overseeing Alden’s newspapers, said in a statement. Georgia Tech and Meta are working on part of that with a big new database called OpenDAC, a pile of reactions, materials, and calculations intended to help scientists designing carbon capture processes to do so more easily. The Georgia Tech team got together with Oak Ridge National Lab and Meta’s FAIR to simulate quantum chemistry interactions on these materials, using some 400 million compute hours — way more than a university can easily muster.
