Legal Aspects of Deepfake
Deepfake means creating animated content (video) by mimicking, simulating or replacing a pre-existing face. In the way that the viewer imagines, the produced video is real; but it is not real. Deep learning technology, which is based on artificial intelligence, has made it possible to produce such content. This article focuses on the legal aspects of deepfaking and, in particular, the possible abuses of deepfake content. Or, basically, fake content may be produced and/or distributed with the intent to defraud abuse, deceive the public, or defame a celebrity. The main question is, what legal challenges does deepfake entail, and are the existing Criminal Acts and civil liability regulations responsive to the new situation that has arisen with the spread of deepfake or not? In order to answer such questions, in this article, the characteristics and practical challenges of deepfake, the use of the provisions of intellectual property agreements to manage deepfake, and legal solutions to reduce and manage deepfake are examined.

Seattle Public Schools sues TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and others, seeking compensation for youth mental health crisis
A new lawsuit filed by Seattle Public Schools against TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Snap, Instagram, and their parent companies alleges that the social media giants have “successfully exploited the vulnerable brains of youth” for their own profit, using psychological tactics that have led to a mental health crisis in schools.
The suit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle, seeks “the maximum statutory and civil penalties permitted by law,” making the case that the companies have violated Washington state’s public nuisance law.
Hundreds of families are pursuing similar cases against the companies, following revelations about the tactics used by Facebook, Instagram, and others to boost engagement among children and teenagers.
However, Seattle Public Schools appears to be the first school district in the country to file such a suit against the companies.
The district alleges that it has suffered widespread financial and operational harm from social media usage and addiction among students. The lawsuit cites factors including the resources required to provide counseling services to students in crisis, and to investigate and respond to threats made against schools and students over social media.

The ChatGPT bot is causing panic now – but it’ll soon be as mundane a tool as Excel
So the ChatGPT language processing model burst upon an astonished world and the air was rent by squeals of delight and cries of outrage or lamentation. The delighted ones were those transfixed by discovering that a machine could apparently carry out a written commission competently. The outrage was triggered by fears of redundancy on the part of people whose employment requires the ability to write workmanlike prose. And the lamentations came from earnest folks (many of them teachers at various levels) whose day jobs involve grading essays hitherto written by students.
So far, so predictable. If we know anything from history, it is that we generally overestimate the short-term impact of new communication technologies, while grossly underestimating their long-term implications. So it was with print, movies, broadcast radio and television and the internet. And I suspect we have just jumped on to the same cognitive merry-go-round.

Exploring the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing Academic Performance: A Case Study of ChatGPT
This study aims to explore the potential of artificial intelligence, particularly natural language processing, in enhancing academic performance using economics and finance as an illustrative example. The study employs a case study approach, using ChatGPT as a specific example of an NLP tool that has the potential to advance research. Our analysis of ChatGPT's applications, capabilities, and limitations revealed that it has the potential to significantly enhance academic research in general and economics and finance in particular. ChatGPT and other AI tools can assist researchers in data analysis and interpretation, scenario generation, and communication of findings. However, there are several limitations to consider when using chatbots or similar tools in research, including generalizability, dependence on data quality and diversity, lack of domain expertise, limited ability to understand context, ethical considerations, and limited ability to generate original insights. It is therefore important to carefully consider these limitations when using ChatGPT and to use it in conjunction with human analysis and interpretation.

Fourth Amendment Constraints on Automated Surveillance Technology in the Public to Safeguard the Right of an Individual to be 'Secure in Their Person'
Law-enforcement throughout the United States is adopting automated surveillance technology, like facial recognition, at breakneck speeds. The use of such technology is often not approved by a legislative body. Yet, people are subject to this technology with many being incorrectly identified and arrested as a result of such misidentification. As automated surveillance technology proliferates it comes in direct conflict with constitutional traditions. In particular, the Fourth Amendment protection against search and seizure would limit the use of such technology. Although courts have not addressed the growing specter of automated surveillance technology in depth, its impact will likely result in this outcome, especially its use in the public where traditionally privacy expectations have been lower. The Fourth Amendment requirement for “particularity" places an acute limitation on broad dragnet style automated surveillance systems, which requires that law-enforcement particularly identify the place or person to be searched or seized. This article addresses the need to develop jurisprudence that tackles the problem of automated surveillance technology and provides recommendations on how courts can address the use of this technology, as well as suggest remedies that can limit injury caused by unlawful use of this technology.
