AI companies should be charged percentages of their net worth for infringements (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I wrote this comment in response to another post but I thought this merited more discussion.

AI companies should be fined percentages of their total worth by the government(s) whose artists they are taking advantage of. Hypothetical example: Japanese government penalises OpenAI 50% of their net worth for every image which is even marginally similar to any publishing house in Japan. And they should be very lenient about taking on these cases.

I want OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and IBM to get f****d so bad they won't even dream of coming back and doing this. I don't know why the EU penalises these companies in monetary amounts. They should be putting rules like a certain percentage of your company for a certain type of wrongdoing.

TBH if Japan or other asian countries bleed these companies dry they will be sitting on an immense sum of money which will propel them to superpowers in their own right. It's a win-win for everyone.

Let me know what you think.

I honestly don't think EU and Asian leaders have the balls to do this (because the American government will support American companies if it comes down to it). Tougher fines that are difficult for the tech giants to swallow should be the first step
