BBC threatens to take legal action against the AI, which says Chatbot, which the company says is copying the BBC content “literally” without its permission.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) wrote to the confusion in the United States, its demand immediately to stop using the BBC content, delete any technology, and suggests the financial compensation for the materials it has already used.

This is the first time that the BBC – one of the largest news organizations in the world – has taken this measure against the artificial intelligence company.

Be confused to comment.

The legal threat was presented to the BBC in a letter to the Aravind Srinivas free president.

“This constitutes a violation of copyright in the UK and violated the conditions for BBC,” the letter says.

The British Broadcasting Corporation also cited its published research earlier this year, which found four famous Chatbots – including artificial intelligence confusion – Summarizing news stories inaccuratelyIncluding some BBC content.

Referring to the results of important issues related to the representation of the BBC content in some of the analyzed artificial intelligence responses, he said that this production is less than the BBC editing instructions on providing neutral and accurate news.

He added: “Therefore, it is very harmful to the BBC, which leads to a BBC’s reputation with the masses – including the UK licensing fees who are funded by the BBC – and undermine their confidence in the BBC.”

Web abstraction network

The popularity of Chatbots and the generators of photo that can create a content in response to text text or simple audio claims in seconds since Openai Chatgpt was launched in late 2022.

But their rapid growth and improving their capabilities have pushed questions about their use of current materials without permission.

A large part of the materials used to develop artificial intelligence models have been withdrawn from a huge set of web sources using robots and crawls, which automatically extract the site data.

The height of this activity, known as web bulldigraft, recently pushed for British media outlets To join the calls of the UK government’s designs to support protection on copyright content.

Several institutions, including the BBC, use a file called “Robots.txt” in their website code to try to block robots and automated tools from collecting data collectively for AI.

It guides robots and crawls on the Internet to not reaching specific pages and materials, where there is.

But compliance with the guidance is still voluntary, and according to some reports, robots do not always respect them.

In its message, the British Broadcasting Corporation said that although it did not hear two confused crawls, the company “is clear that it does not respect Robots.txt”.

Mr. Serenivas denied accusations that her crawl ignored the Robots.txt instructions in an interview with Fast company Last June.

Also confused He says This is because it does not build the basis models, as it does not use the website content of the AI ​​model before training.

“Answer Engine”

Chatbot has become an artificial intelligence in the company and has become a famous destination for people looking for answers to common or complex questions, describing itself as an “answer engine”.

She says on its website that he does this by “searching for the web, identifying reliable sources and synthesizing information in clear and updated responses.”

Users also recommend checking accuracy responses – a common warning accompanied by Chatbots of artificial intelligence, which you can know that they indicate wrong information in fact, a convincing method.
