☆ The US Copyright Office is set to reveal later this year proposed changes to copyright law over the AI boom

The way technology companies scrape and use copyrighted material to train generative AI tools could be in for a significant change. It has also been weighing for months possible changes to US Copyright laws and rules, which make no specific mention of generative AI or related use cases. President Joe Biden's administration has become more outspoken on generative AI. Although generative AI has been around for years, the explosive popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT tool launched in late 2022 led to a greater public understanding of how generative AI models are developed through mass scraping every bit of data on the web. Warring interests and goals have opened up a growing fight between content creators and tech companies building generative AI.

Most projects use AI models from leading LLM providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cohere. My main advice for businesses interested in adopting AI is to familiarize yourself with large language models and how they could be used to address specific pain points. After that, collect as much data as possible — from meeting recordings to marketing materials — that can be used to fine-tune the AI models.

Reddit said Friday that the Federal Trade Commission sent a letter to the company about its data-licensing business related to the training of artificial intelligence systems. "On March 14, 2024, we received a letter from the FTC advising us that the FTC's staff is conducting a non-public inquiry focused on our sale, licensing, or sharing of user-generated content with third parties to train AI models," Reddit said in an updated IPO prospectus. Reddit filed for an IPO in February, and plans to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "RDDT." Reddit said "the opportunity does not conflict with our values and the rights of our Redditors," referring to its users and forum moderators. "We do not believe that we have engaged in any unfair or deceptive trade practice," Reddit said.

Google launched a new tool that lets publishers opt out of training Google's AI models. It turns out that all this content has been stored in datasets that are the foundation for training powerful AI models, including those from OpenAI, Google, Meta, and others. Part of Google's response has been to launch a new tool that lets websites block the company from using their content for training AI models. BI asked Originality.ai CEO Jonathan Gillham why Google-Extended is being used less than other AI training data-blockers. It's unclear if the company will launch this fully in the future, or how much different it will be from the traditional Google search engine.

Microsoft considered input from early customers as well as the costs of tapping OpenAI's LLMs that process users' prompts, Vasu Jakkal, a corporate vice president at Microsoft, told CNBC. Microsoft charges for use of its Azure OpenAI Service based on the number of tokens a client uses. BP is an early customer of the new security service. Copilot for Security can answer questions by drawing on information from Microsoft's own security products and third-party providers.

☆ Facebook is building a giant AI model to power all video recommendations, exec says

Meta's hefty investment in artificial intelligence includes development of an AI system designed to power Facebook's entire video recommendation engine across all its platforms, a company executive said Wednesday. Tom Alison, the head of Facebook, said part of Meta's "technology roadmap that goes to 2026" involves developing an AI-recommendation model that can power both the company's TikTok-like Reels short video service and more traditional, longer videos. To date, Meta has typically used a separate model for each of its products, like Reels, Groups and the core Facebook Feed, Alison said onstage at Morgan Stanley's tech conference in San Francisco. As part of Meta's ambitious foray into AI, the company has been spending billions of dollars on Nvidia graphics processing units, or GPUs. They've become the primary chips used by AI researchers for training the types of large language models (LLMs) used to power OpenAI's popular ChatGPT chatbot and other generative AI models.

Microsoft is accusing The New York Times of "unsubstantiated" claims in the publisher's lawsuit filed in December against OpenAI, a case that could have major implications for the future of generative artificial intelligence. In a motion to dismiss part of the suit on Monday, Microsoft said the Times presented a false narrative of "doomsday futurology" in which OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot will decimate the news business. "In this case, The New York Times uses its might and its megaphone to challenge the latest profound technological advance: the Large Language Model," attorneys for Microsoft wrote. In its lawsuit, the Times accused OpenAI and Microsoft of copyright infringement and abusing the newspaper's intellectual property in training LLMs. A New York Times spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
