From Sabine's email for the day:

Researchers from OpenAI have put forward an industrial policy for artificial intelligence and it’s quite a read. They propose a legally recognised “Right to AI,” meaning broad public access to powerful systems, backed by government-funded compute resources so that researchers, startups, and public institutions can run models themselves, rather than rely on a few companies.

To make this reality, they want to see an expansion of electricity supply for data centres by fast-tracking nuclear and renewables. They also suggest a national wealth fund that captures a share of AI-driven profits and redistributes it to citizens, alongside taxes or levies on highly automated systems, effectively a “robot tax”.

Of course none of that has any chance of happening, but OpenAI can now claim they care about the common man.

Yksi maailman suurimmista kirjojen kustantajista haastoi OpenAI:n oikeuteen tekijänoikeusloukkauksesta

Penguin Random House on nostanut oikeuskanteen OpenAI:ta vastaan, syyttäen tekoälyfirmaa tekijänoikeusloukkauksista. Kanteen taustalla on ChatGPT:n kyky tuottaa sisältöä, joka muistuttaa suositun lastenkirjasarjan teoksia ilman lupaa.

Ready for another joke? 🥁

The Irish Data Protection Commission, which is responsible for most major technology companies ( #Meta, #Google, #Apple, #OpenAI, #Microsoft,...) actually imposes fines in just 0.26% of the cases it handles. And even when a fine is imposed, the money is almost never collected. 🤡
