However you feel about Elon Musk, I think it is undeniable that he had about as good a perch on watching the development of OpenAI and AI in general as it exists today. During his interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the DealBook Summit (around 56), Mr. Sorkin asked him a question about copyright and AI which drew an interesting reply. And probably made Mr. Musk an expert witness.

SORKIN

Can I ask you an interesting IP issue…one of the things about training on data is the idea that these things are not being trained on peoples copyrighted information historically, that’s been the concept.

MUSK

That’s a huge lie.

SORKIN

Say that again?

MUSK

These AIs are all trained on copyrighted data, obviously.

SORKIN

So you think it’s a lie when OpenAI says…none of these guys say they are training on copyrighted data?

MUSK

That’s a lie.

SORKIN

A straight up lie.

MUSK

A straight up lie. 100%. Obviously it’s been trained on copyrighted data.
