A top news media trade group is calling out A.I. technology companies for scraping news material to train their chatbots.
The News Media Alliance, which represents nearly 2,000 outlets in the U.S., published research Tuesday that found developers of generative artificial intelligence systems, such as OpenAI and Google, “have copied and used news, magazine, and digital media content to train” their bots. Importantly, the research indicated that A.I. companies have trained their bots to give far more credence to information published by those credible publishers versus material elsewhere across the web.
The group said “it is inaccurate” to form such a conclusion “because models retain the expressions of facts that are contained in works in their copied training materials without ever absorbing any underlying concepts.” Publishers, many of which have been in a Cold War of sorts with A.I. companies, have started in recent months taking defensive measures to protect their content.
