About this listen

In this episode, we tackle a major controversy shaking the AI and tech communities: the revelation that Runway, a Google-funded AI video generator, was trained on pirated YouTube content and stolen films. We explore the details of a leaked internal spreadsheet obtained by 404 Media, which reveals that Runway’s Gen-3 Alpha video generation tool used copyrighted material from major companies like Disney, Netflix, and Sony without permission. Join us as we discuss the ethical and legal implications of this practice, the broader issues it raises within the AI industry, and the potential consequences for the future of generative AI. We also examine how this controversy might prompt changes in copyright laws and the concept of "fair use" in the context of AI development. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the responsibilities of AI companies, the importance of transparency, and what this means for the future of AI and content creation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, ethics, and intellectual property. I see a storm of change coming!
