Interesting read:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/aug/09/google-says-ai-systems-should-be-able-to-mine-publishers-work-unless-companies-opt-out
But still no move from Google after this blog post: https://blog.google/technology/ai/ai-web-publisher-controls-sign-up/
At the W3C TPAC, yesterday, I tried to push the discussion during a breakout session on the impact of generative AI on the Web.
https://github.com/w3c/tpac2023-breakouts/issues/6
The Impact of Generative AI on the Web · Issue #6 · w3c/tpac2023-breakouts
github.com
3 people from Google in the room; two young developers (unknown service) and Dan Brickley (Google / DataCommons). They didn't seem interested by copyright issues, more by the future of the Web at large vs AI.
Best regards
Laurent
