Artificial Intelligence creates images that are Almost Indistinguishable from normal photos. (Could my AI sue to reverse this blatant discrimination?)
Fearing copyright issues, Getty Images bans AI-generated artwork
Getty sidesteps potential legal problems from unresolved rights and ethics issues.
Getty Images has banned the sale of AI generative artwork created using image synthesis models such as Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 2, and Midjourney through its service, The Verge reports.
To clarify the new policy, The Verge spoke with Getty Images CEO Craig Peters. "There are real concerns with respect to the copyright of outputs from these models and unaddressed rights issues with respect to the imagery, the image metadata and those individuals contained within the imagery," Peters told the publication.
Getty Images is a large repository of stock and archival photographs and illustrations, often used by publications (such as Ars Technica) to illustrate articles after paying a license fee.
Getty's move follows image synthesis bans by smaller art community sites earlier this month, which found their sites flooded with AI-generated work that threatened to overwhelm artwork created without the use of those tools. Getty Images competitor Shutterstock allows AI-generated artwork on its site (and although Vice recently reported the site was removing AI artwork, we still see the same amount as before—and Shutterstock's content submission terms have not changed).

DALL-E Users Can Now Upload and Edit Real Human Faces. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
OpenAI believes it’s ready to start letting DALL-E users edit images of real human faces, a possibility previously blocked over concerns of potential sexual and political deepfakes proliferating from the AI.
In a letter to users on Monday spotted by TechCrunch and shared with Gizmodo, OpenAI said it would reintroduce the ability to upload and edit real human faces to its advanced AI image generator after building new detection and response techniques meant to prevent misuse and ultimately minimize, “the potential of harm.” Users are reportedly still barred from uploading images of people without their consent as well as images they don’t have legal rights to.

This is one way that artificial intelligence can output a selection of images based on words and phrases one feeds it. The program gathers possible outputs from its dataset references that it learned from — typically pulled from the internet — to provide possible images.

CNIL Tests Tools to Audit AI Systems
With the growing use of AI systems and the increasing complexity of the legal framework relating to such use, the need for appropriate methods and tools to audit AI systems is becoming more pressing both for professionals and for regulators. The French Supervisory Authority (“CNIL”) has recently tested tools that could potentially help its auditors understand the functioning of an AI system.

Revealed: US Military Bought Mass Monitoring Tool That Includes Internet Browsing, Email Data
Multiple branches of the U.S. military have bought access to a powerful internet monitoring tool that claims to cover over 90 percent of the world’s internet traffic, and which in some cases provides access to people’s email data, browsing history, and other information such as their sensitive internet cookies, according to contracting data and other documents reviewed by Motherboard.
Additionally, Sen. Ron Wyden says that a whistleblower has contacted his office concerning the alleged warrantless use and purchase of this data by NCIS, a civilian law enforcement agency that’s part of the Navy, after filing a complaint through the official reporting process with the Department of Defense, according to a copy of the letter shared by Wyden’s office with Motherboard.

How to Run Old Software on a Modern PC or Laptop
Need to retrieve data from some old documents or spreadsheets but can’t open them in modern apps? Have some old applications or games you want to run, but your computer refuses to install them? Perhaps the media is old, or taking up unnecessary space; you want to back up the files before the disks are ditched.
It’s over 40 years since the first home computers were sold. Many of us have several decades’ of digital data, much of which seems inaccessible. But with the right tools and software, it is possible to rescue old data and run it on current operating systems.
In fact, now is probably the best time to retrieve that data, before it is too late.
For the kids…
