Stealing Isn't Innovation Campaign: 800 Artists Fight AI Data Theft
Over 800 artists, including Scarlett Johansson, join the 'Stealing Isn't Innovation' campaign to stop AI companies from unauthorized content scraping.
Innovation isn't an excuse for exploitation. 800 artists, writers, and musicians have officially declared war on what they call "theft at a grand scale" by GenAI companies.
The Stealing Isn't Innovation Campaign Movement
According to The Verge, the campaign titled "Stealing Isn't Innovation" features high-profile signatories including Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, author George Saunders, and the band R.E.M.. They're accusing tech giants and private equity-backed ventures of scraping massive amounts of creative content without authorization to fuel their AI models.
Creative Integrity vs. Tech Greed
The group argues that profit-hungry companies are prioritizing market leadership over legal and ethical boundaries. By copying online content without consent, these firms aren't just innovating; they're undermining the very livelihoods of the people who created the data in the first place.
