OpenAI CEO Sam Altman emphasizes the need for a new economic model to compensate creators whose work contributes to AI training data. He draws parallels to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals in sports, suggesting that original creatives should be rewarded for their contributions. Altman acknowledges the complexities involved in establishing fair compensation structures and the challenges of ensuring creators opt in to this new model.
The discussion around compensating creators is gaining traction, with other tech leaders like Bill Gross of ProRata also addressing the issue. ProRata is developing an algorithm to fairly distribute revenue based on the contributions of various content pieces to AI outputs. This highlights a growing recognition of the need to protect both creators and consumers in the evolving landscape of generative AI.
