Hollywood luminaries Scarlett Johansson and Cate Blanchett, alongside Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan and the iconic band REM, have joined forces to sign an open letter accusing technology giants of "theft" for using copyrighted artistic work to train artificial intelligence models.
The letter, spearheaded by the Human Artistry Campaign’s “Stealing Isn’t Innovation” movement, unequivocally demands that these companies pursue "ethical" collaborations rather than resorting to "stealing" creative content.
