He expects copyright, intellectual property and attribution model ownership issues will play out over the next few years and ultimately not to have an adverse impact on startups in the space — or their business models. “Some laws and frameworks that we have today will apply and others will need to be made,” Borthwick added. “This is like the beginning of the internet where, for example, a ‘right to be forgotten’ rule hadn’t been considered yet because the technology hadn’t demanded it.” That might be optimistic. But Betaworks hasn’t let potential legal headwinds around AI get in the way before. The firm is funding Stability AI, which is currently embroiled in a legal battle over whether the company infringed on the rights of millions of artists by developing its text-to-image tools using web-scraped, copyrighted images. Stock image supplier Getty Images has also taken Stability AI to court for reportedly using images from its site without permission. Suffice it to say, Betaworks has an appetite for risk — and anticipates that the reward will be worth the struggle, apparently. “AI cleaves open the possibility space around any problem,” Borthwick said. “That was one of the big lessons of [DeepMind’s] Alpha Go for us — the tech found solutions that nobody had ever considered before, and that was on a simple game board.”
