Microsoft exec called AI scraping the “largest theft of labor in human history”
摘要
微软与OpenAI因使用新闻内容训练AI遭多家新闻机构起诉。近期解封的法庭文件显示，微软应用科学总监Brent Hecht曾在内部文件中多次警告，抓取新闻用于AI训练是“前所未有的惊人盗窃”，可能构成“人类历史上最大的劳动窃取”，并认为此举“完全嘲弄了‘合理使用’的概念”。这些文件与两家公司公开主张的合理使用立场相矛盾。
For years, Microsoft and OpenAI have fought to keep certain information out of the public eye in their fight with news organizations that have accused the AI firms of teaming up to violate copyright laws by stealing tons of news content to train AI.
However, now the details that should never have been marked confidential are starting to leak. In a motion for summary judgment that was unsealed Thursday from news plaintiffs led by The New York Times, internal documents are exposed that news groups alleged show exactly how Microsoft and OpenAI viewed the threat to news before unleashing new AI products like ChatGPT and Copilot.
Perhaps most explosively, Microsoft Director of Applied Science Brent Hecht repeatedly warned in documents that scraping news for AI training was “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” calling it perhaps the “largest theft of labor in human history,” news orgs said. In another document, Hecht contradicted Microsoft and OpenAI’s argument that training AI on news content is fair use, suggesting that the plan to widely scrape news made “a complete mockery of the idea of ‘fair use.’”
