Americans produce the world’s most valuable creative works, widely sought after and used to develop and train AI. 

Copyright law incentivizes and protects this strategic advantage by empowering creators, workers, and individuals to control their work—typically requiring users of copyrighted works, including those in countries like China and Russia, to get permission and pay American creators before using and exploiting their work.

Calls by some generative AI giants to “delete all IP” or categorically pronounce AI training as “fair use” that can proceed without getting permission or paying creators and workers would forfeit this U.S. strategic edge, allowing any company or nation to copy and exploit incredibly valuable American resources for free at a massive scale. 

The Strong IP Strong AI campaign is designed to rally creators to protect American innovation and ensure America doesn’t squander its strategic edge in highly valuable and sought-after copyrighted works used as training materials or take costly shortcuts that undermine America’s own resources and give a free pass to foreign competitors. 

Past American success stories, from the creation of the internet to the modern streaming era, have shown that strong IP doesn’t hold innovation back. Instead, it pushes us forward to greater and greater heights. The Strong IP Strong AI campaign will marshal that historical record to ensure policymakers understand licensing creative works doesn’t hold back progress on AI, it fuels it.

Say ‘No’ to Unlicensed AI Training!
