Artificial Intelligence: The Top Law360 Guest Articles Of 2022 - Law360

#artificialintelligence

This has been a hugely transformative year for artificial intelligence, with rapid advancements in AI capabilities raising a variety of novel legal questions that Law360 Expert Analysis writers explored, including copyright conundrums, murky legal rights and the troubling possibility of deepfake evidence.


Observation of Bias

#artificialintelligence

The high-tech business frets about how to encourage trust in artificial intelligence [Rossi2019, RAND2021]. This campaign worries me [Hill2019, Hill2021], due to the prevalence of AI-enhanced algorithmic decision systems in employment, financial, and criminal-justice decisions, systems that sometimes deliver palpably faulty results. Those are instances of too much trust, along with "self-driving" cars, where, yes, I know they're not self-driving; the clumsy irony emphasizes the lending of too much trust to the vehicle. A reader in computer science hardly needs to be told that the conclusion doesn't follow. Certainly we grant both statements shown as premises, but that is not enough.


ChatGPT: Here to replace the writers and coders?

#artificialintelligence

A new'generative' artificial intelligence (AI) tool is in town. And it is quite significant. 'Generative' AI has created a frenzy among tech enthusiasts twice this year, first with DALL-E in April and now with ChatGPT. ChatGPT โ€“ an AI language model from OpenAI โ€“ has taken the internet by storm garnering over a million users within a week of its release on 30 November. This AI bot can provide answers to your questions โ€“ being able to write essays and programming codes.


Russians Hacked JFK Airport Taxi Dispatch in Line-Skipping Scheme

WIRED

We at WIRED are winding down for the year and gearing up for what is sure to be an eventful 2023. This week, following a new surge in mayhem at Twitter, we dove into exactly why the public needs real-time flight tracking, even if Elon Musk claims it's the equivalent of doxing. The crucial transparency this publicly available data provides far outweighs the limited privacy value that censoring would give to the world's rich and powerful. Unfortunately, Musk's threats of legal action against the developer of the @ElonJet tracker are having broader chilling effects. Meanwhile, Iran's internet blackouts--a response to widespread civil rights protests--are sabotaging the country's economy, according to a new assessment from the US Department of State.


As Big Tech suffers, startups can grow with AI

#artificialintelligence

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. This year hasn't been kind to Big Tech. The FANG stock market index, which tracks the 10 largest tech companies, is down more than 40% this year. Meta, once the darling of Silicon Valley, has seen its valuation plummet by more than 70%. Part of the reason for the decline is that these companies are being hit by a perfect storm of antitrust regulations, data privacy concerns, and regulatory scrutiny, all amidst a volatile macroeconomic environment. But this doesn't mean that the future of the technology sector is bleak.


How AI & Robotics are paving the path toward a new supply chain world

#artificialintelligence

AI victories are finally not science fiction anymore. With the help of the surrounding technologies such as graphic cards, cloud, and simple languages, The integration of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and RPA (Robotic Process Automation) within the supply chain field is finally happening. In addition, governments and organizations have started to regulate the same. We might won't be able to dive in the technicality side of each. However, will explain the relationship between this triad and how they share the sustainable same impact in today's world.


How unfair is private learning ?

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

As machine learning algorithms are deployed on sensitive data in critical decision making processes, it is becoming increasingly important that they are also private and fair. In this paper, we show that, when the data has a long-tailed structure, it is not possible to build accurate learning algorithms that are both private and results in higher accuracy on minority subpopulations. We further show that relaxing overall accuracy can lead to good fairness even with strict privacy requirements. To corroborate our theoretical results in practice, we provide an extensive set of experimental results using a variety of synthetic, vision (CIFAR10 and CelebA), and tabular (Law School) datasets and learning algorithms.


Midjourney Founder David Holz On The Impact Of AI On Art, Imagination And The Creative Economy

#artificialintelligence

Midjourney is one of the leading drivers of the emerging technology of using artificial intelligence (AI) to create visual imagery from text prompts. The San Francisco-based startup recently made news as the engine behind the artwork that won an award in a Colorado state fair competition, and that's unlikely to be the last complicated issue that AI art will face in the coming years. Midjourney differentiates from others in the space by emphasizing the painterly aesthetics in the images it produces. The platform is not trying to create photorealistic images that can be mistaken for photographs, and CEO David Holz says he is personally very uneasy with the uncanny quality of deepfakes and other work that simulates reality too closely. Instead, Holz says Midjourney is designed to unlock the creativity of ordinary people by giving them tools to make beautiful pictures just by describing them.


From Discrimination in Machine Learning to Discrimination in Law, Part 1: Disparate Treatment

#artificialintelligence

Around 60 years ago, the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division was established for prohibiting discrimination based on protected attributes. Over these 60 years, they established a set of policies and guidelines to identify and penalize those who discriminate1. The widespread use of machine learning (ML) models in routine life has prompted researchers to begin studying the extent to which these models are discriminatory. However, some researcher are unaware that the legal system already has well established procedures for describing and proving discrimination in law. In this series of blog posts, we'll try to bridge this gap.


Values in AI: bioethics and the intentions of machines and people - AI and Ethics

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence has the potential to impose the values of its creators on its users, those affected by it, and society. Users also may mean to use a technological device in an illicit or unexpected way. Devices change people's intentions as they are empowered by technology. What people mean to do with the help of technology reflects their choices, preferences, and values. Technology is a disruptor that impacts society as a whole.
