Authors Guild Considers Blanket License for AI Training Uses
- The Authors Guild is exploring offering a blanket license to AI companies to use members' works for training chatbots, with opt-in from authors
- There would be fees for using works as training materials and restrictions on outputs that borrow too much
- 38% of Authors Guild members surveyed said they'd be interested in participating
- The goal is to be proactive and have a licensing model since AI is here to stay, rather than fight the technology
- In September, the Authors Guild sued OpenAI for allegedly using members' works without permission to create ChatGPT
