On April 27, the domestic media industry witnessed a collective action concerning "copyright protection." Seven mainstream financial media outlets, including "Securities Times," "Shanghai Securities News," "Securities Daily," "China Fund News," "21st Century Economic Report," Yicai, and "Everyday Financial News," released or updated their copyright protection statements on the same day.

In their statements, these media outlets first clearly defined the "red lines" for the application of artificial intelligence: it is strictly prohibited for any organization or individual to use the original content owned by these media outlets for AI model training, machine learning, and data mining, among other technological scenarios, without official authorization.

This collective "show of strength" marks the beginning of traditional high-quality content providers formally participating in the rule-making of the AI era. To demonstrate their stance, several media outlets even published the relevant statements on the front page of their newspapers, aiming to establish a commercial value barrier for original content through this most formal method.

In today's rapidly developing generative artificial intelligence, high-quality data sets have become the core resource for large model iterations. However, for a long time, the scraping of original content by AI has been in a gray area. The joint action of these seven financial media outlets is not only aimed at strengthening copyright protection but also at reshaping the discourse power of original media in the tide of technology, ensuring that the labor results of content producers are given due respect and commercial compensation.
