New white paper on trustworthy AI by Mohamad Nasr-Azadani

Why the UK's artists, creative communities, writers, designers, filmmakers, composers, academics, and other copyright holders urgently need a government to do much better than the "pitiful, unprincipled saps" who plan to hand their IP to authoritarian #AI #ArtificialIntelligence vendors in a desperate grab for their money. Why does the government plan to go against the Lords' LLM inquiry's advice? And why are businesses adopting AI for equally dumb and misguided reasons? We really need to stop believing cultish tech evangelism and start managing our businesses and governments better. By me for Diginomica. #artificialintelligence #policy #government #copyright #ethics #strategy https://lnkd.in/euS8QnBp

Excellent, as always, piece from Chris Middleton in diginomica on the machinations of govt and industry when money trumps protection of the populace and the creators within. Bottom line- great start from the UK govt, scuttled by tech giants threats of pulling resources, leaves govt spinning to justify being against creator protection and remuneration for the “good” of societal and business innovation. My take- this deals with the crux of innovation. Why remuneration to creators can’t be done certainly isn’t a complicated problem. When mixed with a mindset that AI success requires trampling on human rights and creative processes then human motivation is at stake.

An experiment with LLMs: I ask AI chatbots to extrapolate a simple trend line. And they do about as well as the simplest model—but no better. Which leads me to ask: If LLMs are just models, what does that mean for claims of superintelligence and copyright infringement?

I just completed Generative AI: Business and Legal Concerns for Creatives. The insights really deepen when shared by a practicing attorney and an artist. The case study reflections provide a more nuanced understanding. #GenerativeAI #LegalConcerns #MidJourney #Adobe #OpenAI #Copyright #IPR

#EU Picks Experts to Steer #AI #ComplianceRules The European Union has picked a handful of artificial intelligence experts to decide how strictly businesses will have to comply with a raft of incoming regulations governing the technology. https://buff.ly/4gSN1M4 #EntraIP #IntellectualProperty #Trademark #Copyright #Patent #PropiedadIntelectual #Marca #Patente

🚀 AI and Copyrights – A Hot Topic for Investors! 🚀 Investors, tread carefully! The world of AI is bustling, but using copyrighted data is a minefield waiting to explode. In the short-term, legal challenges are real. Long-term? Policing AI might be a beast too big to tame! #AIInvestment #Copyright #InvestorAlert Curious?

VOSSIUS partner Dr. Marcus von Welser has written an article on the landmark decision of the Hamburg Regional Court. The court ruled that the copyright exception for text and data mining extends to downloading photos from the internet for AI training datasets (LG Hamburg, judgment of September 27, 2024, file number 310 O 227/23 - LAION). This is the first published judgment in the European Union dealing with the legal framework for the creation of AI training datasets.

It was great to see the article I authored on the latest developments in Irish company law published in the December issue of the Law Society Gazette, I also summarise the key changes introduced by the Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Act, 2024 the majority of which commenced on 3 December last. Thanks to Dr Garrett O'Boyle and Mark McDermott (FIIC) for being so good to work with and for putting up with my amendments as the legislation advanced and to Freda Grealy secretary and Eleanor Daly chair of the Law Society's Business Law Committee for their help with the article.

My colleagues, Andrew Campana and Roy Kaufman, at Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) have written a compelling piece on the reality of AI training data and the recent "trend" that wasn't. They debunk the idea of disappearing data and discuss the opportunity for collaboration between content creators and the AI industry.
