Decision-Makers Seek Updates to Copyright Laws
to Protect Against AI and for Big Tech to Compensate
Creators to Use their Data
NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Collibra, the
Data Intelligence company, today announced the results of a new
Harris Poll survey of over 300 U.S. adults ages 21+ who are
employed full-time as data management, privacy and/or AI decision
makers at their current companies ("decision-makers" throughout),
and found that nearly all respondents [99%] cite threats
necessitating AI regulation in the US, with many decision makers,
regardless of organization, expressing skepticism in the U.S.
government's current approach to AI regulation."
"Without regulations, the U.S. will lose the AI race long term,"
said Collibra co-founder and CEO Felix Van
de Maele. "While AI innovation continues to advance rapidly,
the lack of a regulatory framework puts content owners at risk, and
ultimately will hinder the adoption of AI."
The new survey found that decision-makers polled are calling on
the U.S. Government to update copyright laws to protect against AI
[84%] and for the Big Tech companies to compensate people for the
use of their data in AI training models [81%]. Many are also in
support of both federal [76%] and state [75%] regulations to
oversee the technology's evolution.
According to IDC, 60% of governments worldwide will adopt a
risk management approach to framing their AI and generative AI
policies by 2028. The European Union continues to play a leading
role globally in the AI race with The AI Act, the first-ever legal
framework on AI, set to become law on August
1, 2024. The AI Act will address the risks of AI and aims to
provide AI developers and deployers with clear requirements and
obligations regarding AI usage.
Notably, Van de Maele believes
the U.S. should learn from the likes of the EU and seek to find a
balance between developing the rules needed to regulate AI while
also not putting in too much oversight to inhibit future
innovation. Collibra's new survey cited privacy concerns [64%],
safety and security risks [64%], followed by misinformation [57%]
and ethical use and accountability [57%] as the biggest threats
necessitating AI regulation in the U.S. today.
On a more positive note, the new survey also found that nearly 9
in 10 decision-makers say that they have a lot or a great deal of
trust in their own companies' approach [88%] to how they will
direct the future of AI, with three quarters [75%] agreeing that
their company prioritizes the need for AI training and upskilling
across the business, with decision-makers at large companies (1000+
employees) more likely than those at small companies (1-99
employees) to agree (87% vs. 55%).
"As we look to the future, we need our governments to set clear
and consistent rules while also creating an environment that
enables innovation and bolsters data quality and integrity," added
Van de Maele.
