CA’s transparency bill AB-412 (which forces GenAi companies to disclose if their datasets are using YOUR copyrighted works) is in a slow march to become a bill. Also due to massive tech opposition, they make us all work for it every step of the way. Don’t let em win, sign the petition below asap!👇

Friends, we got a call to action 👇 We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi! This is why we need regulation like California’s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 ! If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!

Let’s Be Clear: Artists & Creators Must Have Transparency NOW!

Every single day we don’t have transparency, the value of copyright loses ground and the harms inflicted to creative industries grow. California has always been on the forefront of policies that can ...

Update: The TERRIBLE 10-Year Ban on State AI Regulations advanced House Committee. What does this mean? It means we BLAST the HELL out of their phones! Call your House Members AND Senators today! Called a few days ago? Call again! Tell them NO on 10-year State AI Regulation Ban! (Info in thread)

US House Committee Advances 10-Year Moratorium on State AI Regulation | TechPolicy.Press

After an amendment challenging the moratorium language failed, it will advance with the rest of the legislative package.

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm! For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste) Need to find your representatives? Here you go: 5calls.org

User Zachary Berger recommends the following script: "I'm a constituent in the congressperson's district.
Al regulation is life or death for a lot of the Congressperson's constituents in creative industries, please make sure the section in the budget reconciliation bill banning Al regulation doesn't pass."

User Karla Ortiz gives information on the bill so you can point your senators where to look:

Call your representatives! Tell them just yesterday (R) Congressman Guthrie added a new text to the Budget Reconciliation bill to BAN GenAi regulation in the states for 10 years!
Hell, point
them to the specific section:
TITLE IV-ENERGY AND
COMMERCE (Part II: Al section, (c) moratorium)

The US Copyright Office came out with a new report regarding AI & copyright. I read the 50 page report this morning. Not sure I got all of it (will probably need a 2nd run through) but my initial takeaways: I think the headlines I'm seeing are pretty sensationalist and frankly a bit dishonest. 🧵 1/

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Full actions depend on where you are at but in general: 1. Talk to your goverment. These are your representatives, make an appointment, write to them, call them, tell them how this affects you. 2. Support orgs fighting this by giving them your time, action and/or donations
