[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 9271636, member: 4937"] Existing laws I think are all on the side of the AI scrapers who will I think under current law be able to claim (in the USA at least) fair use. But I do expect that in the near future a lot of thought will be belatedly put into the subject and we'll see some new legal protections put in place. The little guys complaining now won't be the driving force, and I wouldn't be surprised if the laws aren't really written to protect the small content providers but I do expect something to happen. But really, that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're about to find we need a whole raft of new legal ideas. Oddly, codifying all this into law is likely to accelerate the AI revolution. One of the things that has been holding us back since like the 1990s is ambiguities about legal liability. If Congress stops being useless for a change and actually writes laws that are needed it will greatly ease the market and investor worries about creating AI. Mind you, I don't expect the first round of laws to be all that good. Based on public reaction to AI I expect that they are sacred, easily manipulated, and don't have a clue what is in their own interests when it comes to AI. The heavy hitters are going to want the law written in such a way that it protects their interests and profits. They could care less about fundamental issues like whether an intelligent agent is loyal to the purchaser or to the seller. [/QUOTE]
