As we mentioned in our last update, this is also another reason for people to sign our petition - so that they can be connected with us to receive updates on what's happening around this issue in Washington, DC - as it happens.
We want to be able to quickly send out updates to everyone who has signed, so we can let those who care about artists and creators know additional steps they can take and when and where to weigh in, when the moment needs us.
We don't want to spam you, we are just going to send out relevant updates on advancements of the issue - not endless fundraising garbage.
In the meantime, we absolutely need to continue pushing for those in the White House and DC to also speak to the HUMAN artists and creators whose intellectual property (IP) is propping up this entire new industry - they MUST be included in the decisions that are being made, because they are the creative core at the heart of AI. The people being harmed right now by these technologies DESERVE TO BE HEARD.
Can each of you signed, get just 10 of your friends to sign it too?
PLEASE if you've already shared our petition, SHARE OUR UPDATES and encourage people to sign. As of this e-mail, we now have 9,237 signatures.
In addition to helping us get more signatures, we will also be able to get the word out quickly as developments on this rapidly changing issue continue to emerge.
