Major news organizations just published an open letter urging global lawmakers to enforce transparency around AI training datasets. Signatories like The Associated Press and Getty Images argue that generative models exploit copyrighted journalism without consent or compensation, demanding mandatory rights-holder consent and commercial licensing protections.
Google just pitched an internal AI tool codenamed Genesis to major publishers, including The New York Times and News Corp. The software takes in data to generate news copy, designed to help journalists brainstorm headlines and adjust writing styles. Why it matters: Media executives are already uneasy, worried that automated news writing disregards the rigorous effort required for fact-checking.
Tafi just announced it is developing a text-to-3D character engine capable of exporting production-ready assets straight into Unreal, Unity, Blender, and NVIDIA Omniverse. Trained on its massive Genesis character dataset, the platform also includes a built-in attribution and monetization model to pay participating artists.
