Why aren't AI companies being charged for hacking?
A new essay argues that AI companies should face criminal hacking charges for scraping and using copyrighted works and personal data without permission. The author contends that activities like copying books, images and websites to train models would count as unauthorized access or copyright infringement if done by individuals, yet no prosecutions have targeted AI firms. The piece is drawing debate over whether existing computer misuse and copyright laws actually apply to large-scale AI training.
Why now: Ongoing legal and public controversy over whether AI training practices violate hacking, privacy and copyright laws, with few courts or prosecutors having tested the question.
