AI companies are commiting mass theft and hiding behind the language of 'training'

Ursula K. LeGuin once wrote, “There is no right answer to the wrong question.” And while AI might struggle to understand the quip, we human readers get the point immediately. To solve a problem, you have to focus on what really matters about it.  That’s a big problem with the ongoing debate, most recently joined by Professor Nicholas Creel, over whether artificial intelligence models “learn” the same way as humans.  The simple answer, spelled ou…

A new study by Anthropic examines how reliable thought chains make the decision-making processes of Reasoning models transparent. The results show that the models do not always reveal their true thought processes – even if they seem to explain their conclusions step by step. The article Anthropic study shows that AI models often conceal thought processes in Reasoning chains first appeared on THE-DECODER.de.

Artificial Intelligence Innovation vs. Copyright Conundrum: Where Do AI Companies Stand? - New Space Economy

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, from healthcare diagnostics to creative content generation. At the heart of this revolution lies a critical ingredient: data. Massive datasets fuel the algorithms that allow AI models to learn, adapt, and perform. But as AI companies push the boundaries of innovation, a pressing question emerges: what happens when that data includes copyrighted material? The inters…

Generative AI and Copyrightability: Report From the US Copyright Office - Writer Beware

In 2023, the US Copyright Office launched an initiative to examine the legal and policy implications for copyright of generative AI (GAI). Incorporating comments from the public, the resulting report will be issued in installments, each addressing a different topic. Today, I’m discussing the second installment, published in January, which offers the Office’s determinations on

If you use an AI image or text generator to make a work of “art,” does it belong to you? Or, in more relevant legal terms, can you copyright and sell the output while preventing others from selling it themselves? That’s a huge question hanging over the heads of anyone tempted to use AI tools for commercial products. And according to the latest guidance from the US Copyright Office… well, it’s complicated. The bottom line of the updated Report on…
