The letter says AI has the potential to “threaten the sustainability of the media ecosystem” by significantly eroding readers’ trust in the quality and integrity of news.
The letter also said that “the pace of AI development and adoption” has far exceeded previous technological leaps.
The news organizations are calling for collective and transparent negotiations between media outlets and AI developers to control what copyrighted material can be used in training AI tools, as well as eliminate bias in AI algorithms.
A recent MIT study found that people are more likely to believe AI-generated misinformation than human-written fake news.
The impact of using generalized AI in the media ecosystem is “profound” for the quality of reporting and the future of journalism, explains Laura Petrone, principal analyst at GlobalData.
OpenAI has faced multiple copyright lawsuits from authors claiming that their work was used to train ChatGPT without consent.
