Copyright in spotlight after streaming platforms pull AI-generated Drake song
If you spent almost any time on the internet this week, you probably saw a lot of chatter about "Heart on My Sleeve." The song went viral for featuring AI-generated voices that do a pretty good job of mimicking Drake and The Weeknd singing about a recent breakup. Listen to this AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd. It goes so damn hard. UMG, which controls around 1/3 of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban… pic.twitter.com/roz2EfI48M
Who Owns the Copyright to AI Creations? How Does AI Copyright Work?
So, if an AI makes something, who do we attribute it to? The person who initiated the prompts? Or the sources the AI used? Works are original when they are independently created by a human author and have a minimal degree of creativity. In this incident, British nature photographer David Slater set himself up between 2008 and 2011 to befriend a wild Celebes crested macaques troop.
Council Post: Artificial Intelligence Has Big Implications For Ownership In The Music Industry
Michael Huppe is President & CEO of SoundExchange, an adjunct music law professor, published author, frequent contributor and lecturer. In the not-too-distance future, when a new recording artist seizes the spotlight with hit songs, a huge social media following and sold-out venues, it won't be a human being. It'll be a performer whose lyrics, melodies and voice are solely created by artificial intelligence (AI). We're already seeing hints of this with virtual artists such as metaverse avatars, hybrid performers that rely on a combination of AI and human talent. Beyond music, there's also been the emergence of AI products that create realistic digital images based on a natural language sentence provided by the user.

'Death of the office' exaggerated despite homeworking boom
PA Consulting's Lee Howells, an automation and AI expert, is quoted in a special AI & Robotics report on how AI-driven technology is accelerating the shift towards home working. The piece discusses how the COVID-19 lockdown has forced millions of employees to adapt to working remotely, and says this trend is expected to continue well after the pandemic subsides. Companies such as Facebook and Twitter are moving towards making working from home the norm -- a shift enabled by artificial intelligence-driven telecommuting. However, the article goes on to recognise the potential of homeworking to cause mental stress, with many employees noting "video call fatigue" and craving real human interaction. Lee predicts that the lockdown will accelerate the development and use of AI tools to monitor and manage the mental wellbeing of remote workers.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA): Is It Recession Proof?
Recession seems all but inevitable, as stocks have plunged to bear market levels. Yet there are certain industries that could be insulated. There will also likely be changes in consumer and business behavior that will be lasting. No doubt, it seems like video conferencing and remote work will become increasingly mainstream. But there are other corners of the tech industry that could be poised for transformations.

The 1996 AAAI Mobile Robot Competition and Exhibition
The Fifth Annual AAAI Mobile Robot Competition and Exhibition was held in Portland, Oregon, in conjunction with the Thirteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The competition consisted of two events: (1) Office Navigation and (2) Clean Up the Tennis Court. The first event stressed navigation and planning. The second event stressed vision sensing and manipulation. In addition to the competition, there was a mobile robot exhibition in which teams demonstrated robot behaviors that did not fit into the competition tasks.

The 1994 AAAI Robot Competition And Exhibition
The third annual AAAI Robot Competition and Exhibition was held in 1994 during the Twelfth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Seattle, Washington. The competition was designed to showcase and compare the state of the art in autonomous indoor mobile robots. The competition featured Office Delivery and Office Cleanup events, which demanded competence in navigation, object recognition, and manipulation. The competition was organized into four parts: (1) a preliminary set of trials, (2) the competition finals, (3) a public robot exhibition, and (4) a forum to discuss technical issues in AI and robotics. Over 15 robots participated in the competition and exhibition.
