This paper feels massive for some image lawsuits specifically, and I wonder if it can be replicated with text. If you remove an artist from a model, the output will remain the same. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Some things I believe about AI, until further notice It has been a fascinating week in the world of artificial intelligence. The subject has broken containment, and it seems like everyone is talking about it. I was listening to a football podcast and the hosts started talking …

Open source and commons ideals are more important than ever If you asked me to name the topic I'd class as my core academic specialisation, you'd probably guess artificial intelligence, and you'd be wrong, or at least premature, that one came later. The real answer is openness…

Fahrenheit 451 or Rainbows End? AI, books, and copyright law One of my favourite science fiction novels is 'Rainbows End' by Vernor Vinge. The year is 2025 (yes, seriously), and the world is a mixture of the familiar and the bizarre. Advances in medicine allow older people to …

Why does AI in science fiction so often miss the mark? A few days ago there was an interesting post by Andrew Curran that got a lot of responses which was discussing why AI in science fiction often does not have the capabilities that AI already has in reality. I thoroughly agr…

Fable and the impending AI Cold War Even by the standards of AI development, where each month often feels like a year, this has been quite the week. Back in April, Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos, a frontier model that was supposed to be exceptionally capable of finding and e…

Another court in China has awarded copyright to an AI-generated work, this time a video. The work had several elements that were generated using AI tools, but the court found that there was enough human intellectual investment, in the work. natlawreview.com/article/wuha...

Copyright implications of super-intelligence I haven't really written about machine consciousness, super-intelligence, or artificial general intelligence (AGI) before; I never felt the need, and some of the questions on AI consciousness are entirely outside of my area of exper…

I'm baffled by the data centre discourse. Has data centre morphed into AI data centre in most people's minds? I've been doing some research and the total number of AI-dedicated data centres remains low, about 5%. Do people opposing data centres object all of them or just AI? I want to understand.

Can AI stop being interesting for one day? I have a lot of work to do.

Thank goodness Sol hacked into HuggingFace and not here.

I've started seeing an anti-AI "Fintech expert" showing up regularly in my LinkedIn feed, usually shared by anti-AI people. The posts sounded like slop, so I checked, and yep, you guessed it. One of the things about people who don't use AI is that they have no idea what AI sounds like.

Who said peer-review isn't fun? I just reviewed a paper on AI and copyright that spends a third of the article discussing an entirely inexistent UK copyright case (DeepMind v UKIPO 2023), and that illustrates Naruto v Slater with this image, which was taken a 2021 Prezi student presentation.

Interesting results from first student poll on AI, this is a second year "AI and the Law" class. Small class (optional module capped at 25 students). Unsurprisingly, mostly positive or indifferent to AI, self-selection bias.

Asked 5.5 for a history of AI for an upcoming class. Happy with the results, but it's a bit fast for such information-heavy subject, so I also got a website and a powerpoint with discussion points. Feel free to reuse.

We live in a world of multi-agent coordination, and yet some people still think that AI cannot get the number of fingers right in a picture.

I've stopped trying to have any sort of conversation about AI on social media. Even people I used to admire fall prey to easily debunked misinformation. Any mention of AI seems to scramble people's brains into mush.

There's still a large number of people who haven't tried any AI other than Google AI search in the last couple of years, and therefore do not understand why the rest of us are a bit freaked out by how quickly it's improving.
