A statement signed by over 11,500 creatives, including actors Kevin Bacon and Kate McKinnon, warns that unpermitted use of copyrighted materials for training AI models poses a significant threat to the livelihoods of those who created the works. The statement, published by Fairly Trained, urges generative AI companies to obtain permission or fair compensation for using creative content. This move follows lawsuits filed by organizations like News Corp and the Recording Industry Association of America against AI companies for copyright infringement.
