Abstract

A new survey finds only a quarter of AI researchers support unrestricted AI model training using publicly available data. As creatives protest unauthorised use of their work, tensions mount between government policy, industry ambitions and public expectations. Cian O’Donovan explores what researchers think, where they align with the public and where critical gaps remain.
