Joseph Gordon-Levitt wants to make one thing clear: he isn’t against artificial intelligence.
“Not even a little bit,” the actor told TheWrap. “I’ve been outspoken in the last couple years about some of my concerns, but what originally put it on my radar was incredible excitement and optimism.”
What he is against are companies like OpenAI and Google using copyrighted materials to train their AI models without compensating those who created the material in the first place.
It is an issue that has driven a wedge between Silicon Valley and Hollywood and the media world. And that chasm grew wider last week after OpenAI and Google, using a threat from China as a flare, submitted proposals to the White House to make it easier to train their AI models, ChatGPT and Gemini, on copyrighted materials.
