Data poisoning tool for AI models
A data poisoning tool called Nightshade is being developed by researchers from the University of Chicago to address the issue of compensating artists for the data their AI models have trained on. Nightshade allows artists to upload images of their art and change pixels in a way that confuses AI models, causing them to generate incorrect outputs. This tool aims to create an incentive for AI companies to come back to the table and find ways to compensate artists for their data.
Reddit's discussions on compensating for data
Reddit is reportedly in discussions with major AI labs about being compensated for the use of their vast trove of conversations and information in training AI models. As a response to the potential disagreement, Reddit is considering blocking search crawlers from Google and Bing, reducing the number of visitors to the site. While such a move could negatively impact Reddit's traffic and bottom line, it demonstrates the importance that companies place on the control and compensation of their data in the context of AI training.
