Adam Schiff Joins Calls for Meta to Overhaul AI Training Terms
Representative Adam Schiff has publicly challenged Meta’s recent policy shift, which effectively granted the tech giant broad authority to train its artificial intelligence models on news content. Standing alongside Senator Marsha Blackburn, Schiff argues that a temporary postponement of these terms fails to address the underlying exploitation of publisher intellectual property.
While Meta chose to push back the implementation of its updated business terms until November 20th following widespread industry backlash, the concessions remain insufficient for federal critics. Schiff insists that a mere delay does not resolve the core issue of consent and compensation. He is now demanding that the company establish a structured framework to pay creators and news organizations for the data used to fuel its AI development.
The dispute centers on the boundaries of fair use and the lack of transparency regarding how Meta harvests content from external sites. By prioritizing a delay over a fundamental policy reversal, the company has failed to appease lawmakers concerned about the future of the digital media landscape. With the November deadline approaching, the pressure on Meta to secure formal agreements with publishers continues to mount.
