On Monday, A New $ 100 million super-PAC networkThe leading future was introduced to shape the artificial intelligence policy in next year’s elections. The group says that it will fight for wise railing on AI, while pushing back against efforts, it believes that AI can slow down development.
But if leading the future is to live in your name, it should avoid an easy trap: preparing copyright security as a barrier to American AI competition.
In court across the US, AI companies and creators are colliding on how copyright tasks are used to train the AI model. Manufacturers use their life work without permission or compensation. Many technology companies are arguing that training from others’ work should be counted as “proper utilization”, given that any obstacle to training can drop American AI behind global rivals.
But this situation, Hollywood and creators on the other side, along with silicon valley, recalled Bindu. Copyright should not be considered as a barrier to American strength in AI. This is the foundation of that strength.
The creative economy is one of the most valuable exports of America. Hollywood movies dominate the box office from Seoul to Sao Paulo, American music and streaming platforms have set global taste, and the US publication supplies the spinal cord of education worldwide.
Legal clarity that outlines these industries can not really repeat a competitive lead to China and other countries easily. Increasing security risks that make the US different: an ecosystem where human creativity operates innovation.
The major model of China, DeepsekAllegedly trained in part on the intellectual property of theft from American models and creators. If the US leaves its own standards, we do not “catch” China; We simply validate a global race to the bottom in which the American creative capital becomes free raw material for anyone. In contrast, an right-AI stack will give some specific exportable to American firms: legal certainty, moral validity, and a system in which the creators want to actively participate. It can become a model for business agreements and international criteria, allowing America to lead not only technically but also diplomatically.
What is needed, really, a Fourth rule of roboticsThe original three laws of Isaac Asimov of the robotics conceived in the 1940s were about protecting humans from physical damage. The modern challenge is different. When AI systems learn from human work, the danger is not that they will drop us down, but they will snatch us from our rights. A fourth law will require that when machines attract human creativity, they should do so on a symbiosis: a way that benefits both the AI and the sources of source materials. This means that the creators should have real consent and control, licensing framework should ensure proper compensation, companies should be transparent about what goes into their model, and the value generated by AI must be shared with those whose actions made it possible.
Some? policy makers The argument is that copyright enforcement at the age of AI is unrealistic, but this framing is incorrect. Copyright does not need to disappear; It needs Work on machine speedVarious devices can be deployed on various layers of the ecosystem: developing robots. Together, these remedies can make mutuality real without preventing innovation.
The real opportunity is to show that innovation and supporting assistant creators are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they are the same project. Bestsailing writers and AI engineers should not be established as enemies. Both are important for America’s economy, and both are worth a structure that reward their contribution. If copyright leads the future quarrels for clarity, as it fights against overrigulation, it can help ensure American leadership in AI, which is built on AI without hollowing out AI’s rights.
The courts will soon decide whether the copyright is intact at the age of AI or not. The lawsuits are now coming out – New York Times V. Openi, Kadre vs MetaAnd others – show how high the bets are.
Policy makers will hear the claim that the US should choose between copyright and competition. The truth is the opposite: America protects the rights and competes the best that makes it competeable. This is the message that both technologists and creators should be taken to Washington.
