I like following the OpenAI vs. NYT case, as it's a great example of the controversial situation:

- OpenAI created their models by parsing the internet by disregarding the copyrights, licenses, etc., or looking for a law loopholes

- by doing that, OpenAI (alongside others) developed a new progressive tool that is shaping the world, and seems to be the next “internet”-like (impact-wise) thing

- NYT is not happy about that, as their content is their main asset

- less democratic countries, can apply even less ethical practices for data mining, as the copyright laws don't work there, so one might claim that it's a question of national defense, considering the fact that AI is actively used in the miltech these days

- while the ethical part is less controversial (imho, as I'm with NYT there), the legal one is more complicated: the laws might simply say nothing about this use case (think GPL vs. AGPL license), so the world might need new ones.

And so on...
