A log of the decision points encountered to reach a conclusion would help a lot, but that increases the complexity and storage requirements.

Scientists Increasingly Can’t Explain How AI Works

… The people who develop AI are increasingly having problems explaining how it works and determining why it has the outputs it has. Deep neural networks (DNN)—made up of layers and layers of processing systems trained on human-created data to mimic the neural networks of our brains—often seem to mirror not just human intelligence but also human inexplicability.





Clearing things up or not? (I am prepared to register works created by my AI without mentioning its involvement.)

U.S. Copyright Office Backtracks on Registration of Partially AI-Generated Work

This action from the USCO may serve as an early warning that anyone filing works that contain any portions generated by artificial intelligence must disclose such portions and be prepared to support their registration and prove a degree of human authorship. At this time, it’s unclear exactly what amount of human authorship the USCO is seeking for these types of registration applications. Earlier this year, the USCO upheld the refusal to register a work purportedly generated entirely by machine. However, aside from the still unsettled case, the line on the creation-generation spectrum at which the USCO is making its determination is unclear.

2023 Privacy Guide

Via LLRX 2023 Privacy Guide The fundamental concept of privacy has changed dramatically as more individuals have shifted most of their data to online platforms. There are however a wide range of personal, professional, corporate and legal issues that present significant barriers to the goal of maintaining privacy on the internet. Online privacy is not a right or even a choice when you use email, browsers and search engines, social media, ecommerce sites, online subscriptions…the list goes on and on. Trying to achieve even a modicum of online privacy now involves the use of multiple applications and services, specific software and hardware, time, due diligence, and flexibility – as the challenges continue to evolve. This pathfinder by Marcus P. Zillman will assist in your efforts to secure additional privacy when using email, conducting research, while on social media, completing online learning programs, transferring health records, shopping online, and with many other online services and system with which you interact daily. Even if you only choose to start using several applications or services that Zillman has referenced, this will establish a foundation on which you can build and execute a more effective privacy and security plan. Think about starting with choosing a new browser, search engine and email provider, and move forward from there. This is a journey, and it will take time, but it is worth the effort.





Privacy check!

Facebook probably has your phone number, even if you never shared it.

Business Insider – Now it has a secret tool to let you delete it. “Facebook’s parent firm Meta has quietly rolled out a new service that lets people check whether the firm holds their contact information, such as their phone number or email address, and delete and block it. The tool has been available since May 2022, Insider understands, although Meta does not seem to have said anything publicly about it. A tipster pointed us to the tool, which is well-hidden and apparently only available via a link that is embedded 780 words into a fairly obscure page in Facebook’s help section for non-users. The linked text gives no indication that it’s sending you to a privacy tool, and simply reads: “Click here if you have a question about the rights you may have.”…
