James Patterson, Margaret Atwood, and 8,000 other authors want AI companies to pay them for using their works
Over 8,000 authors — including Margaret Atwood and James Patterson — have signed an open letter demanding compensation from AI companies for using their works to train AI without permission.
"Millions of copyrighted books, articles, essays, and poetry provide the"food" for AI systems, endless meals for which there has been no bill," the authors wrote in a letterThe letter is addressed to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
"As a result of embedding our writings in your systems, generative AI threatens to damage our profession by flooding the market with mediocre, machine-written books, stories, and journalism based on our work," the letter reads. Per the letter, authors have seen a 40% drop in earnings in the past decade, with full-time writers' median income in 2022 being just $23,330, the Authors Guild's found after surveying over 5,700 participants.
AI systems are trained on large volumes of data, much of which is text scraped from the internet. However, the extent to which companies have legally obtained permissions for this AI training remains unclear,OpenAI, Google, Meta, Stability AI, IBM, and Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
