Creators resist AI training on their works due to the lack of a fair benefit-sharing mechanism.To address new social dynamics from technological changes,it is vital to ensure creators share in the profits fairly,while preventing copyright holders from stifling innovation.A modular licensing system can draw from four special licensing models in intellectual property law addressing market failures.Large AI companies should make efforts to obtain licenses,set up copyright licensing systems,and share profits with creators.For SMEs facing both refusal of licenses by large content platforms and high contracting costs,platforms must offer fair,non-discriminatory licensing.Intermediary organizations could help safeguard individual creators'rights,ensure companies have sufficient training data,and prevent large platforms from monopolizing the AI industry.
