Publishers and newspapers, including the New York Times, Reuters, and The Washington Post, are demanding compensation from generative AI websites like OpenAI's ChatGPT, which have been using their content to train AI models, the Washington Post reports. These organizations, at least 550, have installed a blocker to prevent their content from being used and are now negotiating terms for payment and increased web traffic. OpenAI previously licensed content from the Associated Press for training data.

Other data sources, such as Reddit, are also seeking payment for their content and are considering blocking search crawlers from Google and Bing. The push for compensation comes as the generative AI market is expected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2032. At the same time, leading AI companies are facing copyright lawsuits from book authors, artists, and software coders.

In an interview with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio discussed the potential threats AI poses to humanity. Bengio, a Turing Award winner and founder of the Quebec AI institute Mila, believes that the development of artificial intelligence could outpace our ability to regulate it, posing a significant threat to democracy, national security, and our collective future. He suggests that the creation of an organization to defend humanity could help mitigate these risks. Bengio also warns against the concentration of AI power in a few companies, which could lead to economic dominance and potential political control.

Time is of the essence, and regulation can reduce the probabilities of catastrophes or, equivalently, push back the time when something really bad is going to happen. Or minimize the amplitude of what may happen.
