Anyone who has/owns rights to their data is in a position to act ethically.There are many scientific and academic institutions, for example, that own research data that could be used ethically.  If you are only interested in the literary and visual media aspects of the technology: Project Gutenberg could be used ethically.  There are likely museum collections that could be used ethically.  Anyone with sufficient gumption could set up a project in which those with relevant content/data could offer to submit it to the training sets - say, in exchange for a share of the profits from its use.So, not only Big Tech.  Indeed, as I understand it, Big Tech is so far not terribly interested in the ethics of the matter.</blockquote>
