AI executive calls industry's practices largest theft of labor in history
Original: AI exec: We may have pulled off “the largest theft of labor in human history.”
A tech executive is quoted describing the AI industry's use of human-created work as possibly "the largest theft of labor in human history." The remarks come from internal documents uncovered in a lawsuit and reported by Mother Jones, which says they show how tech leaders talk in private. The comments have reignited debate over whether AI companies fairly compensate the writers, artists and workers whose material trains their systems.
Why now: Newly released lawsuit documents reveal candid admissions from tech leaders about using human labor without fair compensation.
