On December 9, OpenAI launched its AI video generation model, Sora, in the U.S. and abroad. Meanwhile, the U.K. is initiating measures to regulate tech companies’ use of copyrighted content for AI training. A government consultation will clarify intellectual property rights, allowing creators to license their content while providing AI developers guidance on usage. Some artists, including The New York Times and Getty Images, have expressed dissatisfaction with content scraping by companies like OpenAI and Stability AI. The U.K. aims to lead in protecting intellectual property rights, contrasting with the more heavily influenced U.S. legislative landscape.
