U.K. authors weigh in on AI licensing in new survey

Dec 04 2024

Only 7% of authors aware that their work has been used to train AI have given permission for such usage, according to a survey of 13,574 members of the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society in the U.K. Furthermore, 77% of authors did not know whether their work had been exploited in this way. The findings, ALCS said, made clear “the need for licensing options that fairly compensate writers for the use of their work in training AI models.”
