Twitter soon deserted? Too bad ! Elon Musk plans to make AI companies pay, here’s how

Companies using Twitter data to develop their AI should expect to pay a large sum according to Elon Musk!

Twitter imposed browsing restrictions last week that caused quite a stir. The suddenness of this measure was intended to thwart the developers of artificial intelligence, who used without paying in the enormous base of the blue bird. But things have changed.

A big check for Twitter?

Twitter has been doing very poorly lately. A problem wanted by the firm to deal in particular with the giants of the AI, which drew on the stream of Twitter data without paying, as it seems ChatGPT. And if the situation improves, the social network will demand accountability. Because data collected without consent can be found in language models, and serve as the basis for a claim for compensation.

Elon Musk has already shown the follow-up he envisages to this problem, confirming yesterday this statement made by a twitto: “ really big models are going to have to write really big checks to Twitter, Reddit and Quora. At the end of last month, he had already indicated that justice would be sought. ” We will take legal action against those who stole our data and look forward to seeing them in court, which should happen (optimistically) within 2-3 years “, he explained on June 30.

Twitter opens again, but with limits

As we know, judicial time is not political time, and even less the time of technology. As these models may have changed enormously, and taken on a much different scale than they currently have, Twitter cannot be content to wait for a judge to examine its case. Hence the fact that the network has experienced serious disturbances, and that it imposes transformations which this time could be permanent.

Indeed, people not registered on the network, who could no longer access the platform’s messages, can now again see the tweet to which a link directs. But it is impossible for them to read the rest of the thread without identifying themselves. Could this be the balanced (and possibly long-lasting) response that Twitter wants to provide pending judgment?
