On January 22nd, hundreds of creators joined together to shine a light on the importance of original thought and expression and the harmful impact of A.I. on their work.
Late last week, hundreds of creators, actors, musicians, songwriters and authors joined together to shine a light on the importance of original thought and expression and the harmful impact of A.I. on their work. The “Stealing Isn’t Innovation” campaign protests the massive and unprecedented theft by A.I. companies of intellectual property to build their commercial products.
“Today, we are supporting a public awareness campaign, along with creators across many industries, to fight the systematic theft of our work by A.I. companies,” said New York Times publisher AG Sulzberger. “‘Stealing Isn’t Innovation’ brings together creators, actors, musicians, songwriters and authors to highlight the importance of reaffirming intellectual property protections and ending further abuses of these rights.”
The Human Artistry Campaign is the driving force behind “Stealing Isn’t Innovation,” reminding the public that partnership and collaboration, including the licensing of original works, isn’t up for debate and is required by established copyright law.
The Times is supporting the campaign via social channels and print and digital advertising. For more information please visit stealingisntinnovation.com.
