The friction between the entertainment industry and the tech sector over generative AI is intensifying. Recently, a new organization led by creators and spanning the film, television, and tech fields officially debuted. Named the "Creator AI Alliance," this organization was initiated by several well-known directors and actors, with the goal of establishing practical industry standards and clearly defining the boundaries for AI in content training and commercial applications.



It is worth noting that this alliance is not a traditional union or collective bargaining organization. Instead, it chooses to use "self-regulation standards" and public initiatives in an attempt to reshape how entertainment and tech companies utilize generative AI.

The trigger for the alliance's formation is straightforward—creators are fed up with certain AI companies' "release first, adjust rules later" tactics. In a public statement, the alliance representatives admitted that the real issue is not the AI technology itself. "This technology is cool and can indeed bring new ways to artistic creation. But if unethical commercial practices are allowed to run rampant, the entire creative ecosystem will be eroded."

The core conflict actually lies in business ethics. What is the main threat faced by creators? Opaque data collection, unauthorized use of content, and the behind-the-scenes利益链. These are the points where creators feel infringed.

Basically, big companies want to harvest profits again while pretending to be innocent. Truly unbelievable.

To be honest, this set of "self-discipline" still sounds a bit hollow. Can it really control those big corporations?

It's the same old trick again, making money with your face first, right? Honestly, AI itself isn't a problem; what's really disgusting is the套路 of those tech companies. Self-restraint? Heh, might as well see if they can actually be restrained. Claiming to set boundaries, but in the end, it's just another hollow promise. Creators need to unite, or they'll be drained dry. If this alliance could truly change the status quo, then I’d be surprised. Honestly, it should have happened a long time ago.

Oh no, it's that old tune of "self-discipline" again. Does it really work? The opaque data collection part is indeed disgusting, but the key question is who will supervise it. Releasing rules first and then adjusting them later is too ruthless. Tech companies really treat creators as an endless resource pool. It's called self-restraint in a nice way, but isn't it just about how all parties' interests are balanced? If advocacy alone were effective, there wouldn't be so many laws. Why do I feel like this is just Tai Chi? If it needs to be done, it still has to be done. The establishment of the Creator Alliance is a good thing, but how much real constraint power it has is still a question mark. So the key is still to have legal measures; otherwise, it's all just empty talk. Another alliance, another standard—sounds lively, but execution is worrying. Basically, it's saying: don't steal our data to train your models. Why make such a big fuss over something so simple? On the tech company's side: We'll hold another press conference to make a promise, then carry on as usual.

To be honest, this move is a bit "gentle," but also quite clever. Instead of taking the hardline approach favored by unions, it uses self-restraint to counter—appearing to draw a red line for AI companies, but in reality, it's about seizing the narrative power.

honestly... reminds me of UST in May. everyone's like "we'll self-regulate!" and then three months later it all goes sideways anyway. not financial advice but the risk-reward ratio here screams regulatory arbitrage to me.
