Opportunity to Sign the Authors Guild Open Letter to Generative AI Leaders

Our friends at the Authors Guild have sent an open letter to the leaders of the major Generative AI developers, saying:

"You’re spending billions of dollars to develop AI technology. It is only fair that you compensate us for using our writings, without which AI would be banal and extremely limited."

The letter has three requests of these companies, that they should:

1. Obtain permission for use of our copyrighted material in your generative AI programs.

2. Compensate writers fairly for the past and ongoing use of our works in your generative AI programs.

3. Compensate writers fairly for the use of our works in AI output, whether or not the outputs are infringing under current law.

You can read the full letter and, if you choose, add your name as a signatory here.
