Elon Musk targets Microsoft in expanded OpenAI lawsuit

Elon Musk has expanded his lawsuit against the ChatGPT maker OpenAI, adding federal antitrust and other claims and adding OpenAI’s largest financial backer, Microsoft, as a defendant.Musk’s amended lawsuit, filed on Thursday night in federal court in Oakland, California, said Microsoft and OpenAI illegally sought to monopolize the market for generative artificial intelligence and sideline competitors.Like Musk’s original August complaint, it accused OpenAI and its chief executive, Samuel Altman, of violating contract provisions by putting profits ahead of the public good in the push to advance AI.“Never before has a corporation gone from tax-exempt charity to a $157bn for-profit, market-paralyzing…

It’s ‘the intelligence age’, say tech titans – but information will not save us

It’s ‘the intelligence age’, say tech titans – but information will not save us

“We have entered the Intelligence Age,” proclaimed Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, in September. “Deep learning worked,” he explained, and this breakthrough in learning from data will unleash a smart era in which the more data becomes available, “the better it gets at helping people solve hard problems”. Altman joins other thought leaders, corporations like Google and Amazon, and organisations such as the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, in pinning humanity’s hopes on better information. The logic is enticing. By harvesting all the world’s knowledge, AI models can locate patterns, make correlations, and offer data-driven “insights”.…

Trump revoking Biden AI EO will make industry more chaotic, experts say

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Come the new year, the incoming Trump administration is expected to make many changes to existing policies, and AI regulation will not be exempt. This will likely include repealing an AI executive order by current President Joe Biden. The Biden order established government oversight offices and encouraged model developers to implement safety standards. While the Biden AI executive order rules focus on model developers, its repeal could present some challenges for enterprises to overcome. Some companies, like Trump-ally Elon Musk’s xAI,…

OpenAI Implores Judge Not to Expose Communications by Its Top Researchers

They do not want those DMs made public. Don't SpeakIn one of the many copyright lawsuits it's facing, OpenAI is asking a judge to narrow the scope of discovery to limit insider communications from being aired in public.This latest forte in OpenAI's defense against the Authors Guild, which is alleging on behalf of writers including George R.R. Martin and John Grisham that the company used its members' copyrighted works without permission to train its AI models, shows that the firm really doesn't want its top researchers' documents making the rounds.The Guild recently requested that OpenAI submit extensive documents — including text…

People can’t tell the difference between human and AI-generated poetry – new study

People can’t tell the difference between human and AI-generated poetry – new study

Has the bell finally tolled for Shakespeare and Byron? New research conducted by philosophers of science Brian Porter and Edouard Machery suggests that the latest AI-generated poetry is “indistinguishable from human-written poetry” and “rated more favourably”. Ten poets, from the medieval Geoffrey Chaucer to modern writer Dorothea Lasky, were successfully impersonated by AI chatbots, with most of the 696 participants slightly preferring the imitation to the real thing. Porter and Machery conclude that “the capabilities of generative AI models have outpaced people’s expectations of AI”. But they don’t say AI has been proven an adequate replacement for human poets –…
