法律专家正在发出警报,称Meta即将更新其商业条款,要求企业账户允许Meta在其关联网站内容上进行AI训练,而不仅仅是社交媒体帖子。

Legal experts are sounding alarms that Meta will soon update its commercial terms to require business accounts to allow Meta to train AI on their linked website content, not just their social media posts.

该条款更新将于10月30日生效,届时企业将无法选择退出,而是被建议如果不同意让Meta机器人自由爬取其关联内容,则应停止使用Meta服务。

Kicking in on October 30, the TOS update won’t allow businesses to opt out, instead suggesting that businesses stop using Meta services if they won’t agree to let Meta bots freely crawl their linked content.

正如Nieman Lab周四报道的那样,此举将影响所有企业账户,但对新闻出版商而言尤为震惊,因为他们本可向Meta收取数百万美元的授权费用,以换取其文章被持续用于AI训练。目前新闻机构正与OpenAI展开斗争,争论此类未经授权的训练是否构成合理使用,而Meta的条款看似无论法院裁决如何,都可能赋予其广泛的许可权。

As Nieman Lab reported Thursday, this will affect all business accounts but is particularly shocking for news publishers who could perhaps charge Meta millions in licensing fees to continually access their articles for AI training. Currently news organizations are fighting a battle with OpenAI over whether such training without licensing is fair use, and Meta's terms seemingly risk granting it sweeping permissions, no matter which way the court leans.
