Machine Learners Should Acknowledge the Legal Implications of Large Language Models as Personal Data

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Does GPT know you? The answer depends on your level of public recognition; however, if your information was available on a website, the answer is probably yes. All Large Language Models (LLMs) memorize training data to some extent. If an LLM training corpus includes personal data, it also memorizes personal data. Developing an LLM typically involves processing personal data, which falls directly within the scope of data protection laws. If a person is identified or identifiable, the implications are far-reaching: the AI system is subject to EU General Data Protection Regulation requirements even after the training phase is concluded. To back our arguments: (1.) We reiterate that LLMs output training data at inference time, be it verbatim or in generalized form. (2.) We show that some LLMs can thus be considered personal data on their own. This triggers a cascade of data protection implications such as data subject rights, including rights to access, rectification, or erasure. These rights extend to the information embedded with-in the AI model. (3.) This paper argues that machine learning researchers must acknowledge the legal implications of LLMs as personal data throughout the full ML development lifecycle, from data collection and curation to model provision on, e.g., GitHub or Hugging Face. (4.) We propose different ways for the ML research community to deal with these legal implications. Our paper serves as a starting point for improving the alignment between data protection law and the technical capabilities of LLMs. Our findings underscore the need for more interaction between the legal domain and the ML community.


A Prompt Engineering Approach and a Knowledge Graph based Framework for Tackling Legal Implications of Large Language Model Answers

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

With the recent surge in popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs), there is the rising risk of users blindly trusting the information in the response, even in cases where the LLM recommends actions that have potential legal implications and this may put the user in danger. We provide an empirical analysis on multiple existing LLMs showing the urgency of the problem. Hence, we propose a short-term solution consisting in an approach for isolating these legal issues through prompt re-engineering. We further analyse the outcomes but also the limitations of the prompt engineering based approach and we highlight the need of additional resources for fully solving the problem We also propose a framework powered by a legal knowledge graph (KG) to generate legal citations for these legal issues, enriching the response of the LLM.


What Grimes' AI music offer could mean for the future of the industry

FOX News

Duke law and philosophy professor and author Nita Farahany says the challenge for humans with quickly developing artificial intelligence is the ethical and legal constraints around it. As controversy swirls around the use of famous artists' vocals for AI-generated music, Grimes seems to be embracing the use of artificial intelligence in the music industry. In a tweet Sunday, the 33-year-old Canadian singer, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, said she is happy to have her voice featured on AI-simulated music tracks as long as she is compensated with royalties for successful songs. "I'll split 50 [percent] royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice," Grimes, who shares two children with Elon Musk, tweeted. Feel free to use my voice without penalty.


Top 10 Legal Issues in Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

It is pretty important to consider the legal implications of artificial intelligence (AI) and its use in various industries. Data Privacy and Security: AI systems generate and store large amounts of data, which can contain sensitive personal information. As such, data privacy and security are major concerns in the development and deployment of AI. Manufacturers, developers, and third-party vendors could all potentially be held liable in the case of an accident or injury caused by an AI system. This raises legal and ethical concerns.


Computer says no: unpicking the employment risks of AI (via Passle)

#artificialintelligence

Last week several newspapers ran a story about three make-up artists who had been'dismissed by algorithm' during a redundancy exercise. They sued their former employer and received an out of court settlement. Had Estee Lauder effectively outsourced its decision making to a machine to determine which employees to retain or dismiss? It had used AI (specifically facial recognition technology) to interview the women but, according to Estee Lauder, this only accounted for 1% of its decision making. The rest of the process was conducted by a human being.


There's Trouble Brewing with Smart Contracts - DataScienceCentral.com

#artificialintelligence

Smart contracts are fast becoming the new bartering system. Gone are the legal and financial barriers to property ownership; In their place are short lines of "smart" code that enable digital transfer of property from one person to another. This might sound like a digital utopia, but the reality is a legal quagmire. The issues are so bad, that Terms of Service (ToS) are likely to replace smart contracts in the near future. A smart contract is code that specifies ownership and the conditions of transferability for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs); the code can also keep track of the number of minted NFTs and assign unique identification numbers.


Regulating Magic: Why We Need to Establish a Regulatory Framework for Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

The promises of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and other advancing technologies sound like magic. However, even magic is subject to the laws of economics. And even quantum computers are "legal things…technological tools that are bound to affect our lives in a tangible manner," as Valentin Jeutner explains in The Quantum Imperative: Addressing the Legal Dimension of Quantum Computers. Analogous to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, Professor Jeutner proposes a three-part "quantum imperative," which "provides that regulators and developers must ensure that the development of quantum computers: 1. does not create or exacerbate inequalities, 2. does not undermine individual autonomy, 3. does not occur without consulting those whose interests they affect." Should regulators seek to apply these principles?


Artificial Intelligence and how the courts approach the legal implications

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are continually changing the way we do business. Organisations across all industries and sectors are deploying machine learning and NLP (natural language processing) technologies to automate processes in almost every part of their operation. For businesses, AI means improving efficiencies, amplifying productivity and reducing cost. But while there are many advantages, AI also presents a wide range of legal challenges – especially in areas such as regulatory compliance, liability, risk, privacy and ethics. To compound matters, regulation of AI is slow to develop, leaving businesses with no choice but to navigate the unknown.


Legal Implications And Accountability Qua Artificial Intelligence And Big Data Trends

#artificialintelligence

Thus, Big Data and Machine learning in the current scenario are very closely interrelated. India has diverse and large amounts of data given the population. AI remains a crucial element of innovation, infrastructure, jobs, skill market and strategic interests of the country whose need has escalated even more due to the pandemic. However, there is an absence of any big data repository, guidelines for usage of big data and the Regulation of AI in India, thus, making it hard to deduce a trend of AI friendly technological ecosystem in the country. It's impossible to approach AI and Big data trends without considering legal implications and accountability for its application.


Artificial Intelligence In Construction: The Legal Implications - Technology - United States

#artificialintelligence

Advancements in artificial intelligence have enabled a number of technological solutions to emerge in the construction industry with the potential to improve worksite efficiency, data quality, and overall innovation. Early adoption of such technologies has inherent operational and competitive benefits, though legal risks must be evaluated and addressed prior to implementation. This article provides a deep dive into the legal implications of Artificial Intelligence and how attorneys in this discipline can prepare for the risks their clients may face. Artificial intelligence (AI) generally refers to technology that uses algorithms to process data and simulate human intelligence. Examples of AI technology include machine learning, image recognition and sensors-on-site, building information modeling (BIM), and "smart contracts" stored on a blockchain-based platform. This technology can be used in the construction industry by way of design, operations and asset management, and construction itself.
