Seven companies that license music, images, videos, and other data used for training artificial intelligence systems have formed a trade association to promote responsible and ethical licensing of intellectual property.
The issue has become a concern for builders of generative AI models and the enterprises that use them, as some data sets used in AI training have legally and ethically uncertain origins. Musicians, authors, and actors are complaining about unauthorized use of their works, voices and likenesses in such training data sets, and website operators fight to stop AI companies scraping their content.
The founders of the Dataset Providers Alliance (DPA) include Rightsify, Global Copyright Exchange (GCX), vAIsual, Calliope Networks, ado, Datarade, and Pixta AI.
