Artificial intelligence (AI) companies have reached the far borders of the “data frontier.”. That’s according to a report Saturday (Aug. 31) by the Financial Times (FT), which noted that this issue is making things worse as AI firms face a wave of copyright lawsuits and allegations that they are aggressively scraping data from the internet.
