OpenAI Failing To Supply The Opt-Out Tool Which Is Promised By 2025

Back in May Open AI said it was developing a tool to let the creators specify how they want their works to be included. According to the AI training data after 7 months this feature has yet to see the light of day. The media Manager addresses the tool as the “identify copyrighted text, images, audio, and video,”. According to Open AI which reflects the creator’s preferences “across multiple sources.”. It was intended to stave off some of the company’s fiercest critics and potentially shield Open AI from all the IP-related legal challenges.
One of the former OpenAI employees said
“To be honest, I don’t remember anyone working on it.”
The non-employees who are coordinated with the work with the company tell that they had discussed the tool with the Open AI in the past. There haven’t been any recent updates.
Additionally, in October, Fred von Lohmann, a member of OpenAI’s legal team who was working as a Media Manager, moved to a part-time consultant position. Von Lohmann’s transfer was verified by email from OpenAI PR.
Media Manager’s development has not yet been updated by OpenAI, which also failed to meet its self-imposed goal of having the tool operational “by 2025.” (To be clear, TechCrunch interpreted OpenAI’s phrasing to imply before January 1, 2025, but “by 2025” might also indicate the year 2025.)
