Prevent an OpenAI bot from 'Pillaging' Them | Open AI bot | Core Life

PARIS: A rising number of media organizations are restricting a webpage-scanning tool that OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, uses to enhance its AI models.

The New York Times, CNN, ABC in Australia, Reuters, and Bloomberg have all taken action to stop the August 8-launched web crawler GPTBot.

French news outlets like France 24, RFI, Mediapart, Radio France, and TF1 came after them.

The unlicensed plundering of content, according to Radio France President Sibyle Veil, "won't stand," she stated during a press conference on Monday.

Just two weeks after its release, GPTBot's access was prohibited by about 10% of the top 1,000 websites in the world, according to the plagiarism detector Originality.ai.

They consist of Shutterstock, Wikihow, Amazon, and Quora.com. According to Originality.ai, the list will expand by 5% each week.

According to OpenAI's website, providing GPTBot access to your site "can help AI models become more accurate and improve their overall capabilities and safety."

However, the California startup also offers guidance on how to disable the bot.

"There is no reason for them to come and learn about our content without compensation," Radio France's director of digital and innovation strategy Laurent Frisch told AFP.

Fair compensation

Due to their capacity to produce a variety of content from simple language inputs, AI tools like the chatbot ChatGPT and the image generators DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney became extremely popular last year.

However, the companies that created the tools, such as OpenAI and Stability AI, are already being sued by writers, painters, and other people who say their creations have been plagiarised.

The director of digital space at France Medias Monde, the parent company of France 24, and RFI, Vincent Fleury, added, "Enough with being pillaged by these businesses that generate a profit on the back of our content.

Media executives in France have also expressed concern about their content being linked to false information.

They claimed that discussions with OpenAI and other generative AI organizations are necessary.

"Media must receive appropriate compensation. The director of the news department of the newspaper Le Figaro and the leader of the Group of Online Services Publishers, Bertrand Gie, stated, "Our goal is to secure licensing and payment arrangements.

Maintain public confidence

In exchange for access to its technology and its AI expertise, the US news agency Associated Press and OpenAI inked an agreement in July allowing the company to access its archives going back to 1985.

Additionally, $5 million has been pledged by OpenAI to fund the growth of the American Journalism Project, a group that helps local journalism.

Additionally, it provided the non-profit with credits worth up to $5 million to aid organizations in evaluating and using AI technology.

In an open letter published earlier in August, a group of news organizations—including AFP, the Associated Press, and Gannett/USA Today—demanded that AI businesses obtain permission before using copyrighted text and images to create content.

Despite their support for the appropriate implementation of generative AI technology, the groups stated that "a legal framework must be developed to protect the content that powers AI applications as well as maintain public trust in the media that promotes facts and fuels our democracies."
