AI Safeguards Can Easily be Broken
The UK's AI Safety Institute has found that AI technology can produce biased outcomes, deceive human users, and lack safeguards against harmful information. The institute's research focuses on large language models and demonstrates how these models can be bypassed or hacked to provide biased or dangerous outputs. This highlights the current challenge in guaranteeing the behavior of AI systems and reinforces the need for further research and development of robust safeguards.
Class Action Lawsuit Against AI Art Companies
A class action copyright lawsuit has been filed by artists against companies like Stability, Mid-Journey, and Runway that provide AI image and video generation services. The companies have filed various motions in response, including introducing new evidence and seeking to dismiss the case entirely. Their counter-argument is that their AI models do not copy existing artwork, but instead reference it to create entirely new products. However, legal proceedings are ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the case will be resolved.
US Judge Rejects Free Speech Defense in AI Art Lawsuit
A US district judge has rejected the argument put forth by AI companies that they are entitled to First Amendment protections for free speech, claiming that the case is in the public interest. This means that the case will not be dismissed on First Amendment grounds. The legal implications and potential outcomes of the lawsuit against AI art companies remain to be seen.
