北京时间周五，知名AI艺术创作平台Midjourney发布声明，宣布封禁Stability AI公司及其员工的账号访问权限。Midjourney在声明中指责Stability AI存在恶意爬取数据的行为，导致其服务器在上周六凌晨瘫痪长达24小时。据透露，Midjourney发现了一系列与Stability AI数据收集工程师相关的账户，这些账户在进行大量提示词和图像数据的抓取工作，从而引发了服务器的崩溃。
在调查过程中，Midjourney员工确认这些账户与Stable Diffusion团队的一名主要数据收集工程师有关联，该工程师使用了两张信用卡进行操作。作为回应，Midjourney采取了封禁措施，并表示将一直持续到另行通知为止。
然而，Stability AI的CEO Emad Mostaque对此次事件表示了不知情，并提出质疑：“两个账号如何能导致服务崩溃，而且我们并未进行数据抓取。我们一直使用合成数据和其他来源的数据进行模型训练。”
此次争议凸显了AI技术发展中数据版权和安全的复杂问题。随着AI模型对大量数据的依赖，如何平衡数据获取与保护，以及如何在行业内建立共识和规范，成为了亟待解决的问题。

英文新闻内容：
In a statement released on Friday, Beijing time, the popular AI art platform Midjourney announced the suspension of account access for Stability AI and its employees. Midjourney accused Stability AI of malicious data scraping, which it said led to a 24-hour shutdown of its servers early Saturday morning. According to the statement, Midjourney discovered a series of accounts related to Stability AI’s data collection engineers that were engaged in extensive harvesting of prompts and images, causing the server crash.
During the investigation, Midjourney employees confirmed that these accounts were associated with a principal data collection engineer on the Stable Diffusion team, who used two credit cards in the operation. In response, Midjourney took the封禁 measures and said they would remain in place until further notice.
However, Emad Mostaque, CEO of Stability AI, expressed ignorance of the incident and questioned how two accounts could cause a service disruption, insisting that “we have not been scraping data. We have always been using synthetic data and other sources for model training.”
The controversy highlights the complex issues of data copyright and security in the development of AI technology. As AI models become increasingly dependent on large amounts of data, the balance between data acquisition and protection, and the establishment of consensus and norms within the industry, have become pressing issues.
