Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA), a body representing several news media organisations in the country, has said that it will work with the government to formulate a fair and balanced regime that allows fair compensation for content producers while allowing AI models to build and evolve.
Supporting the Ministry of Commerce and Industry’s initiative on seeking stakeholder’s feedback on AI and copyright matters, the DNPA said in a statement that actions to ensure fair play are vital for the growth of the digital news media sector in the country.
“DNPA firmly believes that utilising the content of digital news publishers, without consent, for AI training and subsequent generative AI applications, such as search assistance and information purposes, constitutes an infringement of copyright,” the statement noted.
