Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"A new paper from researchers at Stanford, Cornell, and West Virginia University seems to show that one version of Meta’s flagship AI model, Llama 3.1, has memorized almost the whole of the first Harry Potter book. This finding could have far-reaching copyright implications for the AI industry and impact authors and creatives who are already part of class-action lawsuits against Meta. </p><p>Researchers tested a bunch of different widely-available free large language models to see what percentage of 56 different books they could reproduce. The researchers fed the models hundreds of short text snippets from those books and measured how well it could recite the next lines. The titles were a random sampling of popular, lesser-known, and public domain works drawn from the now-defunct and controversial Books3 dataset that Meta used to train its models, as well as books by plaintiffs in the recent, and ongoing, Kadrey vs Meta class-action lawsuit. </p><p>According to Mark A. Lemley, one of the study authors, this finding might have some interesting implications. AI companies argue that their models are generative—as in, they make new stuff, rather than just being fancy search engines. On the other hand, authors and news outlets are suing on the basis that AI is just remixing existing material, including copyrighted content. “I think what we show in the paper is that neither of those characterizations is accurate,” says Lemley."</p><p><a href="https://www.404media.co/meta-ai-model-memorized-harry-potter-books/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">404media.co/meta-ai-model-memo</span><span class="invisible">rized-harry-potter-books/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITraining</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FairUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FairUse</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"If you stumbled across Terence Broad’s AI-generated artwork (un)stable equilibrium on YouTube, you might assume he’d trained a model on the works of the painter Mark Rothko — the earlier, lighter pieces, before his vision became darker and suffused with doom. Like early-period Rothko, Broad’s AI-generated images consist of simple fields of pure color, but they’re morphing, continuously changing form and hue.</p><p>But Broad didn’t train his AI on Rothko; he didn’t train it on any data at all. By hacking a neural network, and locking elements of it into a recursive loop, he was able to induce this AI into producing images without any training data at all — no inputs, no influences. Depending on your perspective, Broad’s art is either a pioneering display of pure artificial creativity, a look into the very soul of AI, or a clever but meaningless electronic by-product, closer to guitar feedback than music. In any case, his work points the way toward a more creative and ethical use of generative AI beyond the large-scale manufacture of derivative slop now oozing through our visual culture.</p><p>Broad has deep reservations about the ethics of training generative AI on other people’s work, but his main inspiration for (un)stable equilibrium wasn’t philosophical; it was a crappy job."</p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/688576/feed-ai-nothing" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/ai-artificial-int</span><span class="invisible">elligence/688576/feed-ai-nothing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITraining</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>I find it astonishing how authors are so afraid that AI is going to steal their readers. If AI only generates derivative works, why are you, as a creator and the only entity capable of producing truly creative works so afraid? </p><p>Unless you believe in the fiction that you can own artificial property. In reality, once you let a work out in the world, you can't possibly expect to "own" it and control its distribution - unless you want to enforce a totalitarian dictatorship. So, I repeat, what are you so afraid of? </p><p>Unless authors start to understand that creative works can't be really protected against unauthorized copying and distribution and that copyright is a monopoly granted by States, they will continue to repeat the same mistakes, will depriving the public of access to knowledge and culture. </p><p>"In late 2024, we surveyed over 400 members of the Australian Society of Authors, the national peak body for writers and illustrators. We asked about their use of AI, their understanding of how generative models are trained, and whether they would agree to their work being used for training – with or without compensation.</p><p>79% said they would not allow their existing work to be used to train AI models, even if they were paid. Almost as many – 77% – said the same about future work.</p><p>Among those open to payment, half expected at least $A1,000 per work. A small number nominated figures in the tens or hundreds of thousands.</p><p>But the dominant response, from both established and emerging authors, was a firm “no”.</p><p>This presents a serious roadblock for those hoping publishers might broker blanket licensing agreements with AI firms. If most authors are unwilling to grant permission under any terms, then standard contract clauses or opt-in models are unlikely to deliver a practical or ethical solution."</p><p><a href="https://theconversation.com/new-research-reveals-australian-authors-say-no-to-ai-using-their-work-even-if-money-is-on-the-table-257243" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/new-resear</span><span class="invisible">ch-reveals-australian-authors-say-no-to-ai-using-their-work-even-if-money-is-on-the-table-257243</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITraining</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/RentSeeking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RentSeeking</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Monopolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Monopolies</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"You’d be hard-pressed to find a more obvious example of the need for regulation and oversight in the artificial intelligence space than recent reports that Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, known as Grok, has been discussing white nationalist themes with X users.

ResearchBuzz: Firehose<p>TechCrunch: SoundCloud changes policies to allow AI training on user content. “SoundCloud appears to have quietly changed its terms of use to allow the company to train AI on audio that users upload to its platform.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Meta has announced it will use EU personal data from Instagram and Facebook users to train its new AI systems from 27 May onwards. Instead of asking consumers for opt-in consent, Meta relies on an alleged 'legitimate interest' to just suck up all user data. The new EU Collective Redress Directive allows Qualified Entities such as noyb to issue EU-wide injunctions. As a first step, noyb has now sent a formal settlement proposal in the form of a so-called Cease and Desist letter to Meta. Other consumer groups also take action. If injunctions are filed and won, Meta may also be liable for damages to consumers, which could be brought in a separate EU class action. Damages could reach billions. In summary, Meta may face massive legal risks – just because it relies on an "opt-out" instead of an "opt-in" system for AI training."</p><p><a href="https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-sends-meta-cease-and-desist-letter-over-ai-training-european-class-action-potential-next-step" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">noyb.eu/en/noyb-sends-meta-cea</span><span class="invisible">se-and-desist-letter-over-ai-training-european-class-action-potential-next-step</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITraining</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a></p>
