CEO of Microsoft AI thinks it's OK to steal content

Microsoft's AI leader Mustafa Suleyman is at the center of a fiery debate after claiming that anything on the internet is fair game for AI use.

Here’s the scoop:

  • Bold Claims: Suleyman argues content on the open web is essentially "freeware" that can be freely copied and utilized. He equates posting online to agreeing to a 1990s-style "social contract" of free use.

  • Legal Clash: Experts disagree! U.S. law automatically protects published work under copyright, no application required. Suleyman’s view clashes sharply with established legal standards, where "fair use" is a court's call, not a given.

  • Courtroom Drama: Amidst lawsuits alleging Microsoft and OpenAI have used copyrighted material without permission, Suleyman's stance is more than bold—it's a legal gamble!

  • The Robots.txt Misconception: He suggests that robots.txt could prevent unwanted scraping, but legally, it's just a polite request, not a barrier. It's not about legality—it’s about etiquette.

Suleyman's comments have stirred a pot of legal and ethical questions. Are AI companies playing fast and loose with the law, or is it time for a new understanding of digital content rights?
