He argued against the idea that AI should require licensing for all content, comparing it to the early days of radio. Jarvis expressed concern that legislation like the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act could harm smaller news organizations and limit fair use. He praised a more collaborative approach seen in Norway, where media companies are working together to develop AI without heavy regulation. ## Highlights If AI creators would be required by law to license *everything* they use, that grants them lesser rights than media — including journalists, who, let’s be clear, read, learn from, and repurpose information from each other and from sources every day.
