Generative AI: How does it affect the enterprise?
We are in the early days of generative AI, and there's a gold rush to gain position and prominence in the sector as it takes off. But with this rush to implementation across a bewildering range of use cases come associated risks. Get artificial intelligence (AI) right, and it can be an incredibly creative, labor-saving, and efficiency-improving solution. Employ it badly, and you risk social, financial, and even legal consequences. First, there's the difficulty of predicting their value or likely success, given the unpredictability of AI outputs.
Part 2: Canada's evolving artificial intelligence and privacy regime
The publication of this series was inspired by the release ChatGPT, which is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbox developed by Open AI. ChatGPT uses machine learning and natural language processing to provide relatively sophisticated and human-like responses to almost any question. Unlike traditional AI systems, ChatGPT is a generative AI platform, which means that the content it creates is "new," rather than a reiteration of something that already exists. As ChatGPT demonstrates, content can be produced through generative AI in a matter of seconds and may be composed of images, videos, audio, text or even code. The reality is that generative AI is well on the way to becoming not just faster and cheaper, but better in some cases than what humans create by hand.
California bill would criminalize AI-generated porn without consent
'The Five' co-hosts discuss Elon Musk's warning to Tucker Carlson about artificial intelligence's potential to destroy civilization. A California lawmaker introduced legislation that would criminalize using artificial intelligence to create pornography while using a person's likeness without consent. Assembly member Tri Ta, a Republican representing Westminster, California, introduced the legislation in February that aims to punish people up to $1,000, or a year in jail, if they distribute "deepfake" porn depicting an individual without their consent. "This bill would make it a crime for a person to knowingly, and without the consent of the depicted individual, distribute to, exhibit to, or exchange with others, or offer to distribute to, exhibit to, or exchange with others audio or visual media that falsely depicts an individual engaging in sexual conduct that would appear to a reasonable observer to be an authentic record of the conduct. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program," a legislative council's digest of the bill states.
Neural Approaches to Entity-Centric Information Extraction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has huge impact on our daily lives with applications such as voice assistants, facial recognition, chatbots, autonomously driving cars, etc. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a cross-discipline of AI and Linguistics, dedicated to study the understanding of the text. This is a very challenging area due to unstructured nature of the language, with many ambiguous and corner cases. In this thesis we address a very specific area of NLP that involves the understanding of entities (e.g., names of people, organizations, locations) in text. First, we introduce a radically different, entity-centric view of the information in text. We argue that instead of using individual mentions in text to understand their meaning, we should build applications that would work in terms of entity concepts. Next, we present a more detailed model on how the entity-centric approach can be used for the entity linking task. In our work, we show that this task can be improved by considering performing entity linking at the coreference cluster level rather than each of the mentions individually. In our next work, we further study how information from Knowledge Base entities can be integrated into text. Finally, we analyze the evolution of the entities from the evolving temporal perspective.
ChatGPT And More: Large Scale AI Models Entrench Big Tech Power - AI Now Institute
These narratives distract from what we call the "pathologies of scale" that become more entrenched every day: large-scale AI models are still largely controlled by Big Tech firms because of the enormous computing and data resources they require, and also present well-documented concerns around discrimination, privacy and security vulnerabilities, and negative environmental impacts. Large-scale AI models like Large Language Models (LLMs) have received the most hype, and fear-mongering, over the past year.

Biden may regulate AI for 'disinformation,' 'discriminatory outcomes'
Republican Rep. Lance Gooden is concerned that AI could eventually replace human decision-making in government and other critical areas of society. The Biden administration is pursuing regulations for artificial intelligence systems that would require government audits to ensure they produce trustworthy outputs, which could include assessments of whether AI is promoting "misinformation" and "disinformation." Alan Davidson, assistant secretary of communications and information at the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), said in a speech at the University of Pittsburgh this week that government audits of AI systems are one way to build trust in this emerging technology. "Much as financial audits create trust in the accuracy of financial statements, accountability mechanisms for AI can help assure that an AI system is trustworthy," he said in his prepared remarks. "Policy was necessary to make that happen in the finance sector, and it may be necessary for AI." President Biden's administration is considering regulations that would require audits of AI systems to make sure they output they deliver contains no "misinformation" or "disinformation."
Factbox: Governments' efforts to regulate AI tools
April 12 (Reuters) - Italy's data protection agency said on Wednesday it would lift its temporary ban on OpenAI's ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) technology if the U.S. company complied with data protection and privacy demands by end-April. Rapid advances in AI such as Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT are complicating governments' efforts to agree on laws governing the use of the technology. The government requested advice on how to respond to AI from Australia's main science advisory body and is considering next steps, a spokesperson for the industry and science minister said on April 12. Britain said in March it plans to split responsibility for governing AI between its regulators for human rights, health and safety, and competition, rather than creating a new body. China's cyberspace regulator on April 11 unveiled draft measures to manage generative AI services, saying it wants firms to submit security assessments to authorities before they launch offerings to the public. China's capital Beijing will support leading enterprises in building AI models that can challenge ChatGPT, its economy and information technology bureau said in February.
How Generative AI Could Disrupt Creative Work
The "creator economy" is currently valued at around $14 billion per year. Enabled by new digital channels, independent writers, podcasters, artists, and musicians can connect with audiences directly to make their own incomes. Internet platforms such as Substack, Flipboard, and Steemit enable individuals not only to create content, but also become independent producers and brand managers of their work. While many kinds of work were being disrupted by new technologies, these platforms offered people new ways to make a living through human creativity. In the face of technological change, creativity is often held up as a uniquely human quality, less vulnerable to the forces of technological disruption and critical for the future.
