When AI art has no author: Study finds generated images often can't be traced to training data
When AI art has no author: Study finds generated images often can't be traced to training data When an artificial intelligence image generator produces a portrait, whose work went into it? The question sits at the center of lawsuits, licensing deals, and proposed regulations worldwide. Policymakers want a way to assign responsibility. New work from a team of researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) suggests that for models trained on large datasets, the question may often have no answer. It's not that the tools for finding it are inadequate.
'Tidal wave' of Pfas being launched to satisfy AI industry, campaigners warn
Increased production risks undermining moves to restrict Pfas in Europe, the UK and US, said ChemSec. Increased production risks undermining moves to restrict Pfas in Europe, the UK and US, said ChemSec. 'Tidal wave' of Pfas being launched to satisfy AI industry, campaigners warn Pfas companies are launching a "tidal wave" of forever chemicals production to meet demand from the AI industry, a campaign organisation has warned. Despite alarm over the chemicals, which have been linked to cancer, a survey of the 10 biggest manufacturers found most had plans to increase production. Many frame their investments around the "AI revolution", because of the role Pfas play in semiconductor production and next-generation datacentre cooling systems.
Jack Thorne warns some fellow scriptwriters are using AI 'to cheat'
'If publishers, studios, streamers, can point to the writer as the problem, that gives them the excuse to behave however they'd like with content,' Thorne said. 'If publishers, studios, streamers, can point to the writer as the problem, that gives them the excuse to behave however they'd like with content,' Thorne said. Jack Thorne warns some fellow scriptwriters are using AI'to cheat' Jack Thorne, one of Britain's most successful screen and stage writers, has warned that some people in his profession are using AI "to cheat", as he called for laws banning the secret use of the technology to generate scripts. Thorne, who co-wrote the hit Netflix drama Adolescence and wrote the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, said that "writers need to be squeaky clean" in the face of AI models that "steal" the creative industry's work. In a wide-ranging speech in London, Thorne attacked government inaction over the AI industry's mass-scraping of material to train their models.

Committee calls for bill to address AI threat to human rights
A cross-party group of MPs and peers has identified human rights risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI) which existing laws, they argue, are ill-equipped to cover. The Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) published a report calling for a new bill on AI to address the scale and seriousness of such threats. Nowhere in the world, including the UK, has a current legislative and regulatory approach to AI that is fit for purpose, said Alex Sobel MP, the committee's chair. On Saturday, the head of the US AI company Anthropic, Dario Amodei, proposed a plan that includes global regulation, industry-wide regulation and independent monitoring of AI models as they are developed. Amodei urged the pace of development to be slowed down and the bosses of two rival AI firms, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk, said they agreed with him.
