Landmark Supreme Court case could have 'far reaching implications' for artificial intelligence, experts say

FOX News

Fox News correspondent David Spunt has the latest as the Supreme Court weighs whether tech companies should be legally liable for harmful content on their platforms on'Special Report.' An impending Supreme Court ruling focusing on whether legal protections given to Big Tech extend to their algorithms and recommendation features could have significant implications for future cases surrounding artificial intelligence, according to experts. In late February, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments examining the extent of legal immunity given to tech companies that allow third-party users to publish content on their platforms. One of two cases, Gonzalez v. Google, focuses on recommendations and algorithms used by sites like YouTube, allowing accounts to arrange and promote content to users. Section 230, which allows online platforms significant leeway regarding responsibility for users' speech, has been challenged multiple times in the Supreme Court.


Humans vs. machines: the fight to copyright AI art

#artificialintelligence

April 1 (Reuters) - Last year, Kris Kashtanova typed instructions for a graphic novel into a new artificial-intelligence program and touched off a high-stakes debate over who created the artwork: a human or an algorithm. "Zendaya leaving gates of Central Park," Kashtanova entered into Midjourney, an AI program similar to ChatGPT that produces dazzling illustrations from written prompts. From these inputs and hundreds more emerged "Zarya of the Dawn," an 18-page story about a character resembling the actress Zendaya who roams a deserted Manhattan hundreds of years in the future. The images in "Zarya," the office said, were "not the product of human authorship." Now, with the help of a high-powered legal team, the artist is testing the limits of the law once again.


If artificial intelligence composes music, who is the author?

#artificialintelligence

AI's rapid and unstoppable development raises numerous question marks in intellectual property law. It is not surprising that advances related to AI technologies and their use in the creative sector give rise to new development and business opportunities but also to new legal issues, especially related to the identification of the author of the work and the attribution of related rights. One reason for this success is that AI systems offer the most diverse application possibilities, simplifying and speeding up time-consuming processes: from music composition to mastering, from song identification tools to creating highly personalized playlists. This new technology is, therefore, changing how artists create music and audiences hear music. Applications and platforms capable of creating music online include, for example, AIVA, Endel, Xhail, Boomy, Score/Amper, Jukebox, MuseNet, ChatGPT, and, although not yet available, Google's MusicLM.


Tutorial 2020 Legal Protection by Design

This tutorial explains, in the form of slides with audio, the proposal for an EU AI Act, as proposed by the European Commission in the Spring of 2021. It does not discuss the subsequently proposed amendments. Key issues discussed are: (1) the overall architecture of the AI, (2) the pragmatic approach to the definition of AI systems (which is not about ‘AI’ but about ‘AI systems’), (3) the different roles, notably that of the providers of these systems, (4) the emphasis on high risk AI systems and (5) the details of the requirement that must be met by all high risk systems. It also explain what AI practices are prohibited and what transparency requirements must be met by a small set of AI systems.

As Artificial Intelligence Expands, So Do Legal Protections

#artificialintelligence

"History is more or less bunk."--Henry The law of intellectual property relating to artificial intelligence and its products is both already established in the existing law, and will have to be invented as AI plays our games, writes our books, plays, and music and, with expert software, puts lawyers out of business. Perhaps its complexities will be so difficult that we will have to resort to AI judges. However, another sage tells us, "It's hard to make predictions, especially about the future." This includes all aspects of AI.

What do AI and blockchain mean for the rule of law?

#artificialintelligence

Digital services have frequently been in collision -- if not out-and-out conflict -- with the rule of law. But what happens when technologies such as deep learning software and self-executing code are in the driving seat of legal decisions? How can we be sure next-gen'legal tech' systems are not unfairly biased against certain groups or individuals? And what skills will lawyers need to develop to be able to properly assess the quality of the justice flowing from data-driven decisions? While entrepreneurs have been eyeing traditional legal processes for some years now, with a cost-cutting gleam in their eye and the word'streamline' on their lips, this early phase of legal innovation pales in significance beside the transformative potential of AI technologies that are already pushing their algorithmic fingers into legal processes -- and perhaps shifting the line of the law itself in the process.

When A Robot Comes Knocking On The Door

AITopics Original Links

Wall-E fell in love with another robot in the movie named after him. Researchers have yet to create a sentient machine, but a breakthrough could be on the horizon. Peter Remine says he will know it's time to get serious about rights for robots "when a robot knocks on my door asking for some help." Remine, founder of the Seattle-based American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Robots, says the moment will come when a robot in an automobile factory "will become sentient, realize that it doesn't want to do that unfulfilling and dangerous job anymore, and ask for protection under state workers' rights." Bit by bit, we are growing more comfortable with digital devices in our daily lives.
