Quick takeaways
Spotify's introduction of AI translation for podcasts poses a challenge to AI startup companies.
The ongoing writer strike raises important discussions about labor protections in relation to AI and its broader implications.
Getty Images has collaborated with NVIDIA to develop Generative AI by Getty Images, a tool that allows image generation while protecting copyright. By utilizing their own vast library of copyrighted images, Getty Images ensures that the generated AI works based on these images will have less risk of copyright issues. This tool is likely to be a welcomed service for corporations and businesses concerned about copyright infringements.
Writer Strike Highlights Labor Movement Challenges in the Face of AI
The ongoing writer strike not only affects Hollywood but also sheds light on the challenges of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into the creative process. The details of the agreement regarding the use of AI in content creation are not clear yet. However, this has become a crucial discussion about labor protections in relation to AI. The outcome of this agreement will likely have broader implications beyond just the entertainment industry.
AI as a Surveillance Tool Raises Concerns, Impacts Ad-based Models
Signal's President, Meredith Whitaker, delivered a strong critique of AI as a surveillance technology and its potential to exacerbate the problems associated with big tech. AI's usage for surveillance purposes implies a further entrenchment of the surveillance business model. Whitaker highlights the importance of regulations, such as the EU's AI Act, which identifies and restricts AI use cases with higher potential for harm. Meanwhile, tech giants like Snapchat and Microsoft are collaborating to integrate AI-generated ads, signaling a potential trajectory towards ad-supported AI tools rather than direct payment for access.
Last week Youtube announced automated dubbing features and now Spotify has unveiled AI translation for podcasts. NLW explores the news, as well as what it says about the challenge of being a startup. Before that on the Brief: Getty Images launches a rights-ready image generation platform.
