Event: Content, Copyright and Gen AI: Understanding the Value of Your Data as Creative Content Creators
>_ Valyu
London has emerged as a global hub for AI, boasting a thriving ecosystem of tech startups and world-class universities. This positions the UK's capital at the forefront of AI development, with over 1,000 AI companies based in the city. These companies are reliant on training data to function effectively. However, tensions have been growing between content creators and AI developers due to concerns over the use of copyrighted material in training datasets.
Publishers and creators with image, text, music and even video find that their content scrapped without permission for training AI models. This is then used to generate works in their style or likeness often without proper attribution, consent or compensation. High profile cases such as the “eerily similar” voice of Scarlet Johansson’s in OpenAI’s ChatGPT is a recurring example. AI companies also need access to high quality training data to create even better models and remain competitive. Is licensing and revenue share for training data the solution?
It is crucial for creative content creators to understand on how to navigate the issue of protecting their data content and receiving fair compensation through data licensing. As part of London Data Week 2024, we are hosting an event to answer some pressing questions regarding:
- How AI companies use training data and what it means for the future of the publishing and creative industries?
- How creators can navigate the use of their data for copyright.
- Why content creators and publishers are increasingly licensing their data for training AI
There will be a panel discussion involving a diverse group of industry experts in music, content creation, academia, AI, and policy followed by an active Q&A session with the audience to answer any questions. We will also host a workshop on finding ways for how AI companies can work with content creators and responsibly use their data.
The event will conclude with a networking session with the panel members and the audience, light refreshments will be provided. Register for the event here.
