"Rise of Data Revolts: A.I. Faces Backlash"
Fan fiction writers, actors, social media companies, and news organizations are rebelling against A.I. companies that consume online content without consent. Concerns over A.I. models using their work without permission have led to protests, including boycotting websites, locking files, and filing lawsuits. The protests highlight the growing understanding of the value of online information and the need to protect creative work from being harvested by A.I. systems. While deep-pocketed tech giants may be able to license content, smaller A.I. upstarts and nonprofits may struggle to obtain enough data to train their systems. The data revolts are reshaping the value of data and may have long-term implications for the future of A.I.
