Steve Jobs Warned Us 25 Years Ago How to Stop AI from Stealing Creators’ Content The Atlantic just published an article highlighting how Meta torrented a copy of LibGen to train their AI. LibGen is a shadow library containing both copyrighted and public-domain works, with over 2.4 million nonfiction books, 80 million scientific articles, and millions more pieces including fiction, magazines, and comics. Approval for this strategy came from the highest levels at Meta, alongside an internal acknowledgment that it carried “medium-high legal risk.” It isn’t just Meta—OpenAI appears to have done something similar, although they claim they no longer use LibGen data in their current models. In the news, you’ll hear plenty of legal arguments about “fair use.” While relevant, I believe these discussions ignore the reality of human behavior. Why did Meta employees choose to use content clearly not in the public domain? Simply put, legally acquiring the rights would have been “unreasonably expensive” and “incredibly slow.” Before we start throwing stones at bad behavior, let’s travel back to the year 2000, when 80 million people were sharing music freely via the peer-to-peer application Napster—music shared with no money going to artists. Everyday people had similar complaints: it was too expensive and too difficult to purchase music. Steve Jobs saw what was happening and responded by launching the iTunes Music Store, selling songs at $0.99 each. His solution addressed human nature, and he famously said, “We don’t see how you can convince people to stop being thieves, unless you can offer them a carrot—not just a stick. And the carrot is: We’re gonna offer you a better experience…and it’s only gonna cost you a dollar a song.” He was 100% right. History repeats itself, and I believe the solution remains the same. The answer is to provide a drop-dead simple solution for licensing and using content with AI—one that fairly compensates creators and makes the process manageable and affordable for businesses. This is a problem worth solving—and we’re solving it by creating technology that establishes legally defensible data ownership, ensures secure data sharing with licensing enforcement, and provides immutable proof of source and usage rights for AI consumption. By making data ownership clear, auditable, and enforceable, we’re enabling creators to monetize their work confidently, businesses to innovate responsibly, and everyone to trust the AI-driven future we’re building together at Synovient. https://lnkd.in/ge5C569N #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #DataOwnership #ContentLicensing #CreatorEconomy #FairUse #Copyright #DataPrivacy #Innovation #Synovient

Our CTO, Katalin Bártfai-Walcott, reflects (pun intended) on the impetus for Synovient and why you should be concerned about your reflection in the data mirror. #AI #datasovereignty #cybersecurity #databreach #innovation

Most companies say they own their data, but few can prove it. Even fewer can control how it's used once it leaves their walls. That’s the heart of the problem we’re solving at Synovient. And it’s exactly why this article is worth your time. It reframes the conversation around data, not as an IT asset or a compliance burden, but as a strategic, sovereign capability. One you either command... or let slip into the hands of others, including AI models that don’t ask for permission. If you think data control is just about protection, read this. It might just change how you see monetization, AI enablement, and what it really takes to compete in a data economy that moves faster than most organizations can perceive. The future of data isn’t storage or security. It’s enforceable agency. #DataSovereignty #DigitalAgency #Synovient #OwnYourData #AIReadyData #CTOThoughts

AIs Need You – Your Knowledge and Creativity Matter. Ever wonder if your college research paper might be the next big thing in AI training? Recent news about OpenAI suggests they’ll start selling low-end agents for $2k/month, mid-tier agents for software development at $10k/month, and PhD-level research assistants at $20k/month. Regardless of how much data a Large Language Model (LLM) ingests, it still struggles without domain-specific (human) expert knowledge. Human expertise is so critical that AI companies are even paying biology teachers to write and answer questions for training purposes. A TWIML podcast (episode 721) with Niklas Muennighoff offers some fascinating insights suggesting that quality matters more than quantity. If I understood Stanford PhD student Niklas’ story correctly, he managed impressive training results with just 1,000 curated science questions and a mere $50 of compute (26 minutes on 16 H100s). It turns out that the research paper I wrote in college about black ants might actually be worth something. Biological brains—and the spark we call consciousness—remain uniquely ours. AI won’t replace us; it only augments our capabilities. Can you imagine what masterpiece Mozart would have created if he had modern technology to compose his symphonies? I’d love to hear what my fellow humans think: Are we still relevant in a world filled with specialized AIs? #AI #LLM #Innovation #Technology #HumanExpertise #Creativity #FutureOfWork #Synovient #Startup #MachineLearning #Podcast #Research
