Creative Commons’ Post

An important conversation. As an artist and librarian #AI and creator credit are tips of interest. Conversation need to continue in GLAMR around art and AI. 🎨 To make sure that content creators and artist work is properly acknowledged in physical & online settings. 🎨 To make sure the community understand creative commons. 

The article invites creators, activists, and stewards of the open movement to participate in an alignment assembly focused on regulating generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the public interest. It emphasizes the significance of shaping AI towards public interest while sustaining a thriving commons of shared knowledge and culture. The assembly, organized by Open Future and Fundación Karisma, aims to engage participants from various fields and regions to explore principles and considerations for regulating generative AI. The initiative is a response to concerns about transparency, bias, fairness, and attribution in AI, revealed through community consultations at conferences. The assembly will utilize the collective deliberation and decision-making model to generate a report with outcomes and propose refined principles for better regulation of generative AI. Interested individuals are encouraged to sign up to share their thoughts on regulating generative AI and contribute to this critical discourse.

This week’s edition of the Economist (https://lnkd.in/dwKmyFTw, subscribers only) ran a feature on artificial intelligence and copyright. Generative AIs have been and continue to be trained on copyrighted material, including texts, images, music, videos, and more. Not all creators are amused. Some have chosen to sue the companies developing these Generative AI models. Others, including Associated Press, Axel Springer, and Le Monde, have established licensing agreements with these companies, granting them permission to use their content for model training. If this trend persists, we might see a more varied landscape within the Generative AI industry, with models differing greatly in terms of the content they're based on and their capabilities. This shift might also signal the end of truly free open-source models. Meanwhile, a third group of media companies, such as Getty Images and Bloomberg, are developing their own proprietary Generative AI models using their content. Like the authors of the referenced article, I question whether these models can compete with larger, more general models. However, they may become the only way to access certain copyrighted material. Court decisions and legislative measures will also play key roles, potentially leading to different outcomes in different jurisdictions. In the United States, where most of the world's most valuable Generative AI companies are based, there may be a bias towards protecting these companies. On the other hand, the European Union may be more inclined to favor copyright holders. In summary, the issue of copyright in the Generative AI sector introduces a significant degree of uncertainty and could drastically alter the competitive landscape in the near future.

AI Is Generating An Unstoppable Online Backlash I heard the same objections at every phase of the Internet evolution. We are entering the next 50 years of the AI Internet. Lets see what happens.

🚨 Beware the Rise of AI-Generated Chaos! 🚨 The internet is morphing into a bizarre landscape, fueled by AI-generated media running rampant. From deepfake scandals to copyright battles, the dark side of AI is emerging. Remember the Glasgow Willy Wonka fiasco? It's just one example of the mayhem caused by those seeking to profit from AI shortcuts. With the flood of soulless, AI-generated content, trust in this technology is plummeting. Artists are speaking out against the erosion of creativity, while the threat to jobs looms large. Despite Silicon Valley's promises, the path to sentient AI remains elusive. Is this just another tech bubble waiting to burst? The backlash against AI is real, and it's not going anywhere. #AIbacklash #TechDystopia 🤖🔥 https://lnkd.in/dpXtaHuN Dani Di Placido Forbes

✨ What an honor to have BRIA AI featured in The New York Times!. In an article discussing The Push to Develop Generative A.I. Without All the Lawsuits. At Bria, we're pioneering responsible and legal Generative AI in today's copyright-sensitive landscape. Our approach ensures fair compensation for creators through a patented revenue-sharing model. Our CEO, Yair Adato, emphasizes the importance of this approach: "Dividing revenue with all partners and helping attribute work back to artists is essential to preserve the role of content creators. Without value for creation, everything will be very average and very boring." This feature in The New York Times validates our mission and approach. I am very proud to be part of BRIA AI, leading the way toward a responsible Gen AI future! #ResponsibleAI #AIEthics #GenerativeAI #FeaturedInNYT

Artists looking for ways to protect their artwork from being fed to GenAI now have a way of biting back. Nightshade not only stops copycats, but it can poison the rest of the dataset. #AI #ML #futurism #IntelligenceFactory #digitaltransformation #DX https://lnkd.in/dfc29XpV

I'm resharing this article again as yesterday, for some reason, LinkedIn wasn't able to generate an article preview URL on the post 😕 💡Very interesting article from Bernard Marr, AI, Tech and Data advisor, on Forbes about one of the most controversial aspects of #GenerativeAI like #Midjourney or #StableDiffusion: the stealth of copyright art from other authors. At this moment this is causing strong debates online about the right use of image generation AI for creating artwork. 🤖 I do think that many illustrators and concept art artists have their right to claim that technologies like this one, if they are not used properly (and we have seen already plenty of misuses done by people who entitle themselves as "AI artists"), can destroy many job opportunities for them before even have been thought about a proper transition between the current systems and ways of working to what is going to be eventually the new relationship we will have with work in general due to these kind of disruptive technologies. 🤔 I think this text gives many insights that have to be taken into consideration towards a strong regulation of generative AI which it will arrive, sooner or later, and also about the ethical use of AI in general.

Embracing AI in Anticipatory Intelligence: The FirstSight Difference We're often asked about the role of AI in our analytical process. Here's our take: ✅ At FirstSight, we’ve spent over a decade and a half mastering our Proprietary Methodology, aligning anticipatory intelligence with beyond-market forces. While we've always been rooted in open source data, AI has supercharged our processes. ✅ Despite many firms raising prices, our embrace of AI has allowed us to maintain our cost structure, offering unparalleled value to our clients. But here's the catch: intellectual property and copyright issues. This isn't just about books - think academic papers, government documents, and local laws. Until AI can reward content creators, it remains a tool, not the whole toolkit. And the truth? Until AI can craft intricate, client-centric insights on its own, the irreplaceable human intellect remains vital. That's where our team comes in, bridging the gap and offering insights that machines alone can't. Choose FirstSight. Choose unparalleled human-AI synergy to Anticipate, Analyze, and Act.
