@EUCommission I would accept AI training on copyrighted material if and only if two conditions are met:

1. Humans must be allowed to download the same material for personal use. No more lawsuits for someone who torrents stuff for education or entertainment.

2. Everything that an AI model generates must be marked as such and automatically enters public domain. It has been trained on everyone's data so it should *be* everyone's data.

Essentially we would need to reform copyright altogether.

@EUCommission Only with permission of the copyright holder.

@EUCommission ask tech companies why they dont want employees reading patents. AI is IP laundering.

@EUCommission

If we don't do it, China and Russia and Iran will do it

We must do it to preserve western civilisation

Now, some people will say we can't have double standards on copyright violation - but that is invalid. The EU regularly operates double standards when western civilisation is at stake - for example, Israel and the 80 year war crimes and genocide of Palestine.

@EUCommission Please, stop promoting AI and problems related to AI. AI training cannot serve as an excuse for stealing human made content.

@EUCommission
The only legislation you should need it's double-tapping the “AI”.

@EUCommission

Never.
The AI-companies have enough money to pay royalties.
I expect legal prosecution of copyright-violations at least as rigorously as against children copying games or music in the past. Because these companies are doing this, fully aware of the copyright infringements. It’s effectively, state-sanctions organized crime.

@EUCommission Never without the explicit consent of the copyright holder.

@EUCommission Under no condition EVER.

@EUCommission For me it's fine to use copyright-protected work for research as long as there is a reference to that work. For AI training absolutely not. AI basically redistributes everything it was trained on so it's copyright violation.

@EUCommission isn't just asking the question already showing the influence of the money? i thought we have copyright protection. what for, if you ask this question now?

@EUCommission What are the positions on this matters by the public entities owning rights via public funding or via duties of their workers?

@EUCommission It isn't their place.

Teach children how to live in this world. Fill them with knowledge and fully invest in their future.

Make machines to clean up dangerous messes left by adults who weren't taught how to live in this world.

AI is a distraction from the real work.

Teach children.

@EUCommission

"Under what conditions should copyright-protected content be used for AI training?"

Simple: never!
