Marc Andreessen, big-time tech investor and co-founder of venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz, is pretty worried about copyright regulations for the AI industry (as in, he doesn’t want them to happen). As the US Copyright Office mulls potential protections for people whose material has been sucked up for use in AI algorithm training, Andreessen’s company submitted a comment to the government, melodramatically arguing that any new regulations could “kill” the emergent AI industry (which, of course, would lead to less profits for companies like Andreessen Horowitz, which have invested heavily in AI).
