AI labeling, or disclosing that content was generated using artificial intelligence, is not deemed necessary by Google for ranking purposes; the search engine values quality content, user experience, and authority of the website and author more than the origin of the content. However, human editors are still crucial for verifying facts and adding a human touch to AI-generated content to ensure its quality, and as AI becomes more widespread, policies and frameworks around its use may evolve.
Google DeepMind has commissioned 13 artists to create diverse and accessible art and imagery that aims to change the public’s perception of AI, countering the unrealistic and misleading stereotypes often used to represent the technology. The artwork visualizes key themes related to AI, such as artificial general intelligence, chip design, digital biology, large image models, language models, and the synergy between neuroscience and AI, and it is openly available for download.
The use of copyrighted material to train generative AI tools is leading to a clash between content creators and AI companies, with lawsuits being filed over alleged copyright infringement and violations of fair use. The outcome of these legal battles could have significant implications for innovation and society as a whole.
A U.S. District Court judge has ruled that images created by artificial intelligence cannot receive copyright, only those made by humans are eligible.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen as a tool that can inspire and collaborate with human creatives in the movie and TV industry, but concerns remain about copyright and ethical issues, according to Greg Harrison, chief creative officer at MOCEAN. Although AI has potential for visual brainstorming and automation of non-creative tasks, it should be used cautiously and in a way that values human creativity and culture.
The United States Copyright Office has issued a notice of inquiry seeking public comment on copyright and artificial intelligence (AI), specifically on issues related to the content AI produces and how it should be treated when it imitates or mimics human artists.
DeepMind has introduced SynthID, a powerful tool that uses watermarking technology to address concerns surrounding AI-generated content, offering a robust defense against image manipulation but acknowledging the need for continuous innovation in the battle against generative AI deception.
Artists Kelly McKernan, Karla Ortiz, and Sarah Andersen are suing makers of AI tools that generate new imagery on command, claiming that their copyrights are being violated and their livelihoods threatened by the use of their work without consent. The lawsuit may set a precedent for how difficult it will be for creators to stop AI developers from profiting off their work, as the technology advances.
The AI Insight Forum, led by Chuck Schumer, is set to discuss artificial intelligence regulations with tech industry giants, although it has faced criticism for its exclusion of common voices; meanwhile, Google's DeepMind has launched a beta version of SynthID, a watermarking tool for identifying synthetic content in generative AI.
Google will require verified election advertisers to disclose when their ads have been digitally altered, including through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), in an effort to promote transparency and responsible political advertising.
Google will require political advertisers to disclose the use of artificial intelligence tools and synthetic content in their ads, becoming the first tech company to implement such a requirement.
Google has updated its political advertising policies to require politicians to disclose the use of synthetic or AI-generated images or videos in their ads, aiming to prevent the spread of deepfakes and deceptive content.
Artificial intelligence (AI) image generation tools, such as Midjourney and DALL·E 2, have gained popularity for their ability to create photorealistic images, artwork, and sketches with just a few text prompts. Other image generators like DreamStudio, Dream by WOMBO, and Canva offer unique features and styles for generating a wide range of images. However, copyright issues surrounding AI-generated images have led to ongoing lawsuits.
Adobe, IBM, Nvidia, and five other firms have signed President Joe Biden's voluntary commitments regarding artificial intelligence, which include steps like watermarking AI-generated content, in an effort to prevent the misuse of AI's power.
US Senator Pete Ricketts is introducing a bill that would require watermarks on AI-generated content in order to provide transparency to consumers and differentiate between real and AI-generated information.
Two different AI models, developed by the University of Bradford and Art Recognition, have produced conflicting opinions on whether a work known as the de Brécy Tondo is by the hand of Raphael, highlighting the challenges faced by AI in art authentication. While AI is seen as a valuable tool, experts believe that human judgement will always play a crucial role in the authentication of artworks. Additionally, the rise of AI-generated images raises concerns about the effectiveness of AI in identifying forgeries and assisting law enforcement.
Google is expanding its use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance video creation on YouTube, introducing features such as AI-powered backgrounds, an app for simpler video shooting and editing, and data-driven suggestions for creators. Additionally, Google is developing an advanced AI model called Gemini, which combines text, images, and data to generate more coherent responses, potentially propelling its AI capabilities ahead of competitors. The tech giant is betting on AI to enhance its suite of products and drive its growth.
Google's search engines are failing to block fake, AI-generated imagery from its top search results, raising concerns about misinformation and the search giant's ability to handle phony AI material.
The US Copyright Office has ruled for the third time that AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted, raising questions about whether AI-generated art is categorically excluded from copyright protection or if human creators should be listed as the image's creator. The office's position, which is based on existing copyright doctrine, has been criticized for being unscalable and a potential quagmire, as it fails to consider the creative choices made by AI systems similar to those made by human photographers.
Microsoft's Bing search engine is receiving several AI improvements, including the integration of OpenAI's DALLE-E 3 model, the ability to provide more personalized answers based on prior chats, and the addition of invisible digital watermarks to AI-generated images for content authenticity. These enhancements aim to enhance user experiences and ensure responsible image generation.
