Andrew Ng proposes fair use of literature, articles etc. for the training of large language models

This seems to be a reasonable proposal! I have argued here several times before that Western copyright laws are excessive if not extreme (see e.g. here)!

These clearly long outdated Western copyright laws need to be updated, adapted etc.! Otherwise, these laws might become a serious obstacle to AI progress!

"As I [Andrew Ng] wrote previously, I believe it would be best for society if training AI models were considered fair use that did not require a license. (Whether it actually is might be a matter for legislatures and courts to decide.) Just as humans are allowed to read articles posted online, learn from them, and then use what they learn to write brand-new articles, I would like to see computers allowed to do so, too. "
