Microsoft's AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has sparked controversy by describing content on the open web as 'freeware' that can be copied, recreated, and reproduced by anyone. Suleyman's comments suggest that due to a 'social contract' of fair use, content available online is free for use in various forms, including training AI models. This stance has raised questions about the future of AI ethics and the boundaries of fair use in the digital age. The discussion also touches on the implications for platforms like ChatGPT.
