Is this a ‘how much is too much’ case or simply an ‘anything is a violation’ case? Depends on which side you are on.
McDonald’s seeks ban to forbid confidential consumer information disclosure in voice data lawsuit
Anna Bradley-Smith and JJ Ko reports:
McDonald’s should have to face claims it violates Illinois data protection laws by collecting customers’ voiceprints without their consent at its drive-thrus, plaintiff Shannon Carpenter has argued in response to McDonald’s attempt to have his lawsuit dismissed.
Carpenter, who filed his class action lawsuit in April and recently had it split between state and federal courts said in the memo that U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle should allow the claims in federal court to proceed because his allegations are well-pled and address all of McDonald’s’ points for dismissal.
McDonald’s argued that Carpenter does not allege the fast food giant collects unique identifying information that could constitute a voiceprint biometric, but Carpenter says that “wholly ignores” his allegations that McDonald’s AI voice assistant “extracts exactly the type of unique ‘identifying’ voiceprint data that BIPA seeks to protect including the speaker’s pitch, volume, duration, age, gender, nationality, and national origin.”

The criminal use of ChatGPT – a cautionary tale about large language models
From Europol:
In response to the growing public attention given to ChatGPT, the Europol Innovation Lab organised a number of workshops with subject matter experts from across Europol to explore how criminals can abuse large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, as well as how it may assist investigators in their daily work.
Their insights are compiled in Europol’s first Tech Watch Flash report published today. Entitled ‘ChatGPT – the impact of Large Language Models on Law Enforcement’, this document provides an overview on the potential misuse of ChatGPT, and offers an outlook on what may still be to come.
The aim of this report is to raise awareness about the potential misuse of LLMs, to open a dialogue with Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies to help them build in better safeguards, and to promote the development of safe and trustworthy AI systems.
A longer and more in-depth version of this report was produced for law enforcement only.

The AI Copyright Fight: A Guide
Whenever a client wants to skirt the edges of copyright law, the usual response of copyright lawyers is: "Do you really want to find out?" That is...do you actually want to learn how much you'd owe in damages from copyright infringement?
I heard this a lot from lawyers when I ran a niche indie publisher. I suspect it's a refrain that AI companies are going to have to get used to as well. Many AI image-generators, like Midjourney, Stability AI, and DeviantArt’s DreamUp, were trained on copyrighted images.
