Is Using Data to Train AI ‘Fair Use’?
In a recent Forbes article, Roomy Khan explored the ongoing legal debates around the use of copyrighted content for training artificial intelligence (AI) models. Whether AI companies can use copyrighted data, such as images, books, and news articles, under the “fair use” doctrine is yet to be clarified by courts in the United States, but major lawsuits are ongoing and include companies such as Getty Images and authors such as Sarah Silverman, who are challenging the unauthorized use of their content in AI training. Others have proposed the creation of entirely new intellectual property doctrines, such as Mark Lemley, a Professor of Law, Science, and Technology who suggests a new framework of “fair learning,” be created. Fair learning would allow for the use of copyrighted works to improve AI functionality, and would apply even when the traditional factors of fair use are not met. For more color on the legal arguments related to “Fair Use” in the context of AI model training, see Roomy Khan’s full article here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/roomykhan/2024/10/04/ai-training-data-dilemma-legal-experts-argue-for-fair-use/

Russia and China Defy the West Deep in the Arctic
Just a month before the invasion, Norwegian officials suspected Russian involvement in a severed undersea fiber-optic cable near Svalbard. Norwegian officials, meanwhile, report a growing Chinese interest in acquiring land on the archipelago, including a recent proposal to establish a laser-research station. That business, too, is unprofitable but the Russian state subsidizes it to keep its beachhead on Svalbard, Norwegian officials say. Later, Russian officials erected a giant Orthodox cross in Pyramiden, also violating Svalbard’s regulations. Following the invasion of Ukraine, Russia and China have deepened their Arctic ties, from Chinese energy investments to security links.
