Epic Games CEO says AI companies shouldn't be 'hoovering up everybody's art data'

, which among other things is one of the biggest websites that artists use for sharing their portfolios. That means it's also a target for AI companies looking for lots of categorized visual art to use as free training material for their machine learning algorithms. Although Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney hasn't taken any kind of hard stance against generative AI systems in general, he says he doesn't like that companies are ingesting people's artwork without permission.

"Choosing not to use the tag leaves copyright law to govern whether or not the artwork was fairly used," reads, which was last updated in February."AI's use and its place in copyright law is new and unsettled, leaving open many questions about copyright law's enforceability against use of work in AI. Adding the 'NoAI' tag empowers you to clarify that regardless of the state of copyright law, use of your work in AI is not permitted.

"For example, our real-world content scanning at Quixel and 3Lateral, that go around and scan real-world objects, is based really fundamentally on using AI and machine learning to produce very high quality 3D imagery from 2D photographs," Sweeney told me."Everybody's gonna use AI in lots of ways. Most of it will be just to improve the way we do things today."

Yeah but I bet when it’s time to pay the Tencent Tax he’s eyeing up AI and writing up redundancies

I believe anything this man says publicly is the opposite of his position in house.

every day tim sweeney gains more of my respect

I resent that word hoovering

He's just having a hard time remembering the phrase, 'Don't be evil,' when trying to evolve technology.

Don't ever believe a word this guy says.

Can't trust any business to use AI. Without proper regulation, they will inevitably use it in dubious ways - whether the current CEO, or the next. They just need that legal grey to do so - and they don't need to tell anyone shit about it.

Like he is constantly bashing Steam Store?
