Key points from Google's statement include:
Copyright and Data Access
- Advocates for using copyrighted, publicly available material for AI training
- Requests "text-and-data mining exceptions" to avoid lengthy negotiations
- Identifies copyright, privacy, and patents as potential obstacles to AI development
Privacy Framework Recommendations
- Calls for "balanced privacy laws" recognizing public information exemptions
- Suggests federal framework to differentiate between public and personal data
- Promotes AI-powered privacy-enhancing technologies for data protection
Government Role and Standards
- Urges government to lead by example in AI adoption
- Supports workforce initiatives for AI skill development
- Recommends alignment with global standards to prevent protectionist requirements
- Emphasizes continued engagement with Department of Commerce and NIST
Google's stance aligns with OpenAI's recent statement, particularly regarding copyright regulations. Both companies advocate for easier access to training data, raising questions about their approach to existing copyright laws versus working within current legal frameworks.
The company emphasizes the importance of maintaining American leadership in AI development while ensuring appropriate regulatory measures that don't stifle innovation. The final US AI Action Plan is scheduled for release in July.
