    A New Group Is Trying to Make AI Data Licensing Ethical

    The second wave of big conceptual Intelligence tools generally were trained on “publicly obtainable” data—basically, anything and everything that may be scraped from the internet. Sources of teaching data are now more and more restraining exposure and pushing for licensing agreements. New licence businesses have started to keep the resource materials flowing as the search for additional data sources grows.

    The Dataset Providers Alliance, a business association that was established this summer, wants to standardize and regulate the Artificial business. In order to achieve this, it has just released a place document outlining its views on significant AI-related problems. The empire is made up of seven AI registration businesses, including music-copyright-management company Rightsify, Chinese stock-photo market Pixta, and generative-AI copyright-licensing business Calliope Networks. ( We’ll let at least five new members know in the fall. )

    The DPA activists for an opt-in structure, which means that data can only be used once authors and rights holders have given their consent. This significantly alters the operation of the majority of the big AI players. Some have developed their own opt-out networks, which put the burden on information users to take their work on a case-by-case schedule. Some offer no opt-outs anymore.

    The DPA views that way as being much more morally responsible because it requires users to adhere to its opt-in law. ” Artists and designers should be on committee”, says Alex Bestall, CEO of Rightsify and the music-data-licensing firm Global Copyright Exchange, who spearheaded the work. Bestall sees opt-in as a social and rational choice:” Selling officially available data is one way to obtain sued and have no trust.”

    Ed Newton-Rex, a former AI administrative who now runs the honest AI volunteer Fairly Trained, calls opt-outs “fundamentally unjust to makers”, adding that some may not even realize when opt-outs are offered. ” It’s specially good to see the DPA calling for opt-ins”, he says.

    Shayne Longpre, the guide at the Data Provenance Initiative, a volunteer shared that audits AI datasets, sees the DPA’s efforts to source data responsibly as outstanding, although he suspects the opt-in standard could be a hard sell, because of the large volume of data most modern-day Artificial models require. ” Under this regime, you’re either going to be data-starved or you’re going to pay a lot”, he says. ” It could be that only a few players, large tech companies, can afford to license all that data”.

    In the paper, the DPA comes out against government-mandated licensing, arguing instead for a “free market” approach in which data originators and AI companies negotiate directly. Other guidelines are more granular. For instance, the alliance recommends five different compensation options to ensure that data creators and rights holders are compensated fairly for their work. These include a subscription-based model, “usage-based licensing” ( in which fees are paid per use ), and “outcome-based” licensing, in which royalties are tied to profit. These could be used for anything, according to Bestall, including music, images, film, TV, and books.

    ” Looking to standardize compensation structures is potentially a good thing”, says Bill Rosenblatt, a technologist who studies copyright. The Dataset Providers Alliance is “in a very good position to present terms.” According to Rosenblatt, AI companies require incentives to adopt licensing. While the legal reasons ( fear of lawsuits, regulation mandating licenses ) are the most obviously compelling, Rosenblatt says it’s also important for would-be licensors to make the process as easy and convenient as possible. Standardizing payment models, he argues, helps smooth the road for mainstream adoption.

    The DPA also supports some applications for artificial data, which is created by AI, by claiming that it will” constitute the majority” of training data in the near future. ” Some copyright holders probably wo n’t like it”, Bestall says. ” But it’s inevitable”. The alliance calls for “proper licensing” of the pre-training data used to produce synthetic data and transparency regarding how those data are created. It also calls for regular “evaluation” of the synthetic data models to “mitigate biases and ethical issues”.

    Of course, the DPA needs to get the industry’s power players on board, which is easier said than done. ” There are standards emerging for how to license data ethically”, Newton-Rex says. Not enough AI companies are adopting them, according to the statement.

    The DPA’s very existence shows that the AI Wild West days are about to end, despite its existence. ” Everything is changing so fast”, Bestall says.
