The New York Times publisher on Monday slammed artificial intelligence companies for “brazen theft of intellectual property”, warning they threaten the future of journalism during a speech at the World News Media Congress in the French city of Marseille.
AI companies’ “hijacking of the public square is made possible by the original sin that animates their A.I. products — a brazen theft of intellectual property that has occurred at an unprecedented scale. Tech giants strip-mine news websites without permission or compensation,” said A.G. Sulzberger, according to his published remarks.
“Our profession has been too quiet, too passive and too fragmented in the face of abuses by the companies leading the AI revolution,” he added.
