The Authors Guild Puts Out a Statement on AI Training That You Can Sign

screenshot from the Authors Guild website: "Sign the Statement on AI Training"

Our friends at the Authors Guild have kept the statement short and sweet:

“The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.”

More than 30,000 authors and creators have signed on so far (for transparency, I've signed it too.)

As I see it, saying "no, this isn't cool" is better than just letting it happen. If you're moved to sign it as well, you can do so here.

Illustrate, Translate, and Write On,
Lee
