If AI isnʻt going to go away, it needs to be cheap, sustainable, open source, and self hosted/ hostable.

    And ethically trained. People should be financially compensated if their data was used to train AI without their consent.

    Private copying levy was implemented to compensate greedy media industry. This was included in the price of every writable massmedia device in Finland until 2015.

    Maybe something similar could be used with AI. Directly compensating for the victims of ip theft would be pretty impossible but the money could be used to fund art programs and such. AI companies would be the ones paying, based on the usage their models have, be it online or self hosted.
