Wikipedia operator proposes AI copyright middle ground

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The Wikimedia Foundation, operator of Wikipedia, has proposed a nuanced approach to AI copyright cases, advocating for fair use in the training of large language models while requiring licenses for AI outputs that directly reproduce copyrighted material. This stance aims to balance the need for AI development with the protection of open knowledge and the web's sustainability. The foundation argues that overly broad rulings could either stifle AI innovation or harm sources like Wikipedia that provide crucial data for training. AI
