Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot issue in recent months, as the technology has been put to a variety of new applications, including personalised shopping, fraud detection, and voice help. However, like with any technical progress, ethical problems have emerged, notably in automation and content production. CNET published articles written by an AI engine this week, sparking fears about the potential for AI to replace human writers. The AI-generated pieces on CNET, on the other hand, contained typos, suggesting that human authors may not have anything to worry about just yet.
Another area where AI is sparking debate is in the field of digital art. Art turbines like as Lensa and Stable Diffusion are imitating the techniques of real-life painters, prompting some to sue. Adobe, the maker of digital editing products such as Photoshop and Premiere, was recently accused of utilising user material to power AI generators. Adobe’s Chief Product Officer, Scott Belsky, disputed the allegations in an interview with Bloomberg, noting that the business “never, ever utilised anything in our storage to train a generative AI model.” Belsky said that the firm analyses user data and content to find ways to improve functionality.
The regulations governing ownership and licencing may need to change as the public becomes more aware of the emergence of AI-generated material. Last year, more than a third of organisations adopted AI technology, according to IBM. AI services are becoming increasingly popular among independent and small enterprises as a means of doing more with less time, money, and energy. However, arguments over content owners are expected to become more common as the AI sector expands.
