Perhaps I could create an AI that generates AI lawyers who send enough letters threatening to sue that some subset (5%?) choose to settle and send me money instead…

Fake AI law firms are sending fake DMCA threats to generate fake SEO gains

There are quite a few issues with Commonwealth Legal's request, as detailed by Smith and 404 Media. Chief among them is that Commonwealth Legal, a firm theoretically based in Arizona (which is not a commonwealth ), almost certainly does not exist. Despite the 2018 copyright displayed on the site, the firm's website domain was seemingly registered on March 1, 2024, with a Canadian IP location. The address on the firm's site leads to a location that, to say the least, does not match the "fourth floor" indicated on the website.





For future debate. If I read your copyrighted paper on AI and then develop my own version, how could I isolate your information so I don’t reuse it?

For AI firms, anything "public" is fair game

Leading AI companies have a favorite phrase when it comes to describing where they get the data to train their models: They say it's "publicly available" on the internet.

"Publicly available" can sound like the company has permission to use the information — but, in many ways, it's more like the legal equivalent of "finders, keepers."





Seems rather mechanical to me.

Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how some Colorado students learn. Is your school on the cutting edge?

Oshmyan is an early adopter, one of a group of students so intrigued by artificial intelligence that they’re on a special after-school AI project team at the St. Vrain Valley School District’s Innovation Center in Longmont. They develop and design products for clients and get paid to do it. These students are at the vanguard of discovering how artificial intelligence works in its many forms but are also helping educators learn how it may change instruction.
