How are artificial intelligence companies using creations without compensation?

Companies working in the field of artificial intelligence use the works of various writers, artists and performers to train their models, and these creators are not paid or given any credit for it. But some AI companies are encouraging these creators to benefit from this method, rather than opposing it.

When artists of old created a work of art, they may not have had any concept of intellectual property rights, also known as intellectual property rights.

But these days, the advent of generative AI has some artists worried that their work is being used in artificial intelligence models without their knowledge and permission.

Misha Kaufman is the CEO of Fiverr, a multinational online marketplace that provides free freelance services.

He discusses the situation, saying that “the way artificial intelligence is structured today, every creation of any creator is being used to train models, and then when the results are obtained, those creators are neither compensated nor have any opportunity to profit.”

Fiverr recently held an event in New York to introduce ways that allow workers to build their own AI models and feed them with relevant content that already exist

 

Misha Koff says it will allow writers, artists and other creatives to get models that match their style and tone, and then they can pitch them to their clients.

Some freelancers are optimistic. One of them, Zachary Whitmore, says, “I feel like it gives you a better tool, more control over your work, over what you love, and how you bring it to market.”

 

Dee Smith is also a voice-over artist at Fiverr;

He says the AI-generated voice-overs help him serve more clients, such as small businesses that might not be able to afford to pay him.

He says there are also customers who don’t necessarily need a perfectly accurate, beautiful, and beautifully articulate voice. They want something a little more simple.

 

“What we’re doing is introducing a very innovative way to approach AI design, in which the creator is at the center,” says Misha Kaufman.

Fiverr isn’t the only company dealing with copyright issues between professional creators and AI.

Another company is Trip Adler, CEO of Created by Humans, a small company that works to settle disputes between authors of published content and AI.

He explains the problem by saying that there’s a lot of conflict between creators and AI companies right now. And the reason for that is simply that there’s no simple way to license and connect the two.

He adds, “We’re creating a marketplace for AI rights that allows creators to license their content and give their rights to AI companies. You sign and verify your identity.”

Adler says the way to do this is very simple, meaning you declare ownership of your books, choose licensing options. It only takes a few minutes and "you can license your books with AI." He believes that before using any books to train AI systems, you need to get permission from the author. "In this era of artificial intelligence, it's a matter of bridging the gap between creators and AI companies," Adler says.
