At a recent event on April 11, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, talked about a new idea. He said that OpenAI might start a system that could pay artists whose work helps train programs like ChatGPT. He said that he understood why many artists are worried about their work being used without permission, and he wanted to find a way to support them.

Altman mentioned the ongoing debates about who owns work when AI uses it to make new things. He said that in the future, there might be a new way to handle it. He understood why artists feel like their work is being "stolen" and how it makes them worried about their jobs.

When asked if OpenAI could find a way to pay artists based on the prompts people use, Altman seemed open to the idea. One suggestion was that a part of the money from subscriptions could go to the artists, depending on which work is used to train the program.

Altman also talked about a plan where artists could choose to let their names or work be used. If an artist agrees, they could get paid when someone uses their name or artwork in the system. He said, "It would be cool to figure out a new way where if an artist wants to be part of it, they can agree, and there could be a way for them to earn money."

This idea comes at a time when there are a lot of questions about how programs like ChatGPT use artists’ work. Many artists are worried that their work could be taken without permission, and it could make it harder for them to make a living.

Altman’s comments show that OpenAI is thinking about how to solve these problems and help artists. Although the details of the plan aren’t clear yet, it’s clear that OpenAI wants to find a fair way to pay artists for their work. This could help make sure that both creators and technology companies can work together in a way that feels fair to everyone.

As AI gets more advanced, finding ways to fairly pay artists for their work in these systems might become really important. Altman’s comments suggest that OpenAI is willing to think about solutions to make sure artists aren’t left behind.
