AI Video Generator Runway Exposed for Using Pirated YouTube Content for Training
Runway's Gen-3Alpha video generator has been exposed for training on a vast amount of pirated content and unauthorized YouTube videos, raising copyright concerns. Since its release last month, Gen-3Alpha has attracted attention for generating images that closely resemble real effects. However, the opacity of its training data sources and the issues surrounding the use of pirated content highlight AI companies' disregard for copyright when generating content. Furthermore, this incident is not isolated, as companies like OpenAI have also faced similar issues.
