The use of Artificial Intelligence has allowed the surge of content creation. While many are praising the tech giants like OpenAI, Google and Antrhropic for bringing state of the art AI Technology, there is a big cloud on the moral concerns of such companies. Let me explain

AI innovations like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini AI rely on Large Language Models in order to produce relevant high quality answers in conversational style. The companies have trained their LLMs from data that has been created by the humans in all these years. Whether these companies have striked apprpriate deals with the relevant people who created those data cannot be verified.

Keeping the above concern in mind, India may bring stricter AI rules in order to protect the rights of the news publishers and content creators.

A report from Economic Times states that the Indian government may bring a new legislation that will protect the rights of the content creators.

Speaking to EtTimes, Ashwini Vaishnaw, indicated that tech companies are likely to agree to the new rules that India may bring in the coming months after the elections.

“Secondly, creativity has to be respected both in terms of intellectual property as well as financial and commercial implications. We have shared these views with tech players. More or less they are in agreement in principle.” said Ashwini Vaishnaw.

Recently, the CEO of Youtube, Neal Mohan expressed concern about the use of Youtube videos by Open AI’s Sora in order to train its model. The CEO indicated that if OpenAI has utilised the Youtube videos in order to train its model, they may have breached the terms and conditions of the Youtube.

Companies being fined for using data without consent is not something new. Here are 5 instances where tech giants have been fined heavily.

Google was fined nearly $392 million in 2022 for continuosly tracking users even after they had opted out.

Google, again, was fined for $271.7 million by France for failing to honor the committment about the content licensing deals that it had made with news publishers years ago.
