If you’re an artist and you put any content on, on YouTube, does that mean that it’s just it’s just free range? I mean, you can do whatever you want with it. Again, it goes down to the terms of our agreement. I will say that we have forged deep partnerships with the music industry. We came out of the gate with forming AI music principles with the music industry, and are continuing to experiment with them to see how I can best benefit their creative process.

Are you telling me that I don’t have any further recourse if YouTube then goes and gives the information to AI models and systems, there’s nothing further I can do. Or am I missing something? It is. If it is in accordance with our agreements, we will share that data.

And the fact that YouTube is monetizing these kind of videos seems like a huge, huge problem to me. I’m glad you’re here today. I wish there were more tech companies here today, but we’ve got to do more. I mean, YouTube I’m sure is making billions of dollars off of this. The people who are losing are the artists and the creators and the teenagers whose lives are upended.
