OpenAI threatening to leave the EU if they pass legislation requiring them to list their data sources because:
"In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges."

Like every other boom tech company, it's just doing labor crimes and theft and claiming you're actually too innovative to be regulated, God.

OpenAI says it could ‘cease operating’ in the EU if it can’t comply with future regulation

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned that the company could pull its services from the EU if it finds upcoming regulations too onerous. The EU AI Act is currently being finalized by lawmakers and should become law next year.

I would also like to see legislation to mandate tagging AI-generated online content. I think this is essential to prevent positive feedback which could destroy the distinction between fact and AI-invented fiction.

Isn't it a bit like when washed up right-wing light entertainers promise to leave if Labour win the general election. They make a big hoo-hah about leaving, and we all dare to hope that they might go, but they never did.

I really hope they either comply with the law or else leave this time, but I'm not holding my breath. I suspect it will be like crypto, needing Interpol warrants, no-knock raids, &c.
