In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges. OpenAI rival Stability AI, for example, is currently being sued by stock image maker Getty Images for using its copyrighted data to train its AI image generator.

Aaaaaand there it is. They don’t want to admit how much copyrighted materials they’ve been using.

Read the whole thing. The reason OpenAI is opposing the law is not necessarily copyright infringement.

One provision in the current draft requires creators of foundation models to disclose details about their system’s design (including “computing power required, training time, and other relevant information related to the size and power of the model”)

This is the more likely problem.

Given their name is "OpenAI" and they were founded on the idea of being transparent with those exact things, I'm less impressed that that's what they're upset about. The keep saying they're "protecting" us by not releasing us, which just isn't true. They're protecting their profits and valuation.

Maybe, but I believe that the AI model of this level should not be shared with dictators like the CCP, at least for now.
