Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says there are complex copyright questions around scraping data to train AI models, but he suggests the individual work of most creators isn’t valuable enough for it to matter. […]

Zuckerberg said Meta’s future AI content strategy would likely echo its blunt response to proposed laws that would add a fee for links to news stories. The company has typically responded to these rules by blocking news outlets in countries like Australia and Canada. “Look, we’re a big company,” he said. “We pay for content when it’s valuable to people. We’re just not going to pay for content when it’s not valuable to people. I think that you’ll probably see a similar dynamic with AI.”
Objectively he isn’t wrong. He will make a deal with valuable partner (knowledge bases) but doesn’t need all the live information (news pages). Because AI can search the web and summarize. It doesn’t have that exact data for AI learning then, but will still provide a sufficient reply to the user. At least that’s my takeaway here.
