Four-minute radio clip with me on the real underlying cause of concern with AI companies scanning and shredding books, how we can get them to pay the AI Dividend that they owe us all for strip-mining our language and selling it back to us.

[Surfing AI Shock] [Human Written*] Recent radio clip of me talking about the real issue behind AI companies scanning and destroying books. The image of this is a great metaphor for how AI companies are strip-mining our collective intellectual property and then selling it back to us. If it were minerals, we would expect them to pay royalties. From the AI Dividend Chapter of my Surfing AI Book: 'Another related way of looking at the process of training chatbots, image and video generators, and similar AI on collectively owned intellectual property is to see it as similar to the process of mineral mining. Chatbots and related types of AI can be seen as mining a natural resource, human language, creative images, videos, music, or other human-produced products. In the case of mineral extraction, many governments demand royalty payments to recognize that minerals can be viewed as the collective property of the citizens of the country where the minerals are located. Therefore, it is not a great leap to contemplate the idea of royalty payments being sought from corporations involved in developing some forms of AI.'
