Does the First Amendment Confer a ‘Right to Compute’? The Future of AI May Depend on It

… Federal appeals courts have considered the First Amendment aspects of computer code in only a limited number of cases. The Second, Sixth and (in an opinion that was subsequently withdrawn on procedural grounds) Ninth Circuits have concluded that computer code can receive First Amendment protection. The Sixth Circuit, for example, wrote that “because computer source code is an expressive means for the exchange of information and ideas about computer programming, we hold that it is protected by the First Amendment.”

The question of when computer code is expressive is related to, but distinct from, asking whether the purpose of performing the resulting computation is expressive.

Imagine that.

The 4 Reasons OpenAI's ChatGPT Is Dying

• ChatGPT's market share is under threat as competitors catch up, replicating its capabilities and encroaching on its user base.

• The cost of running ChatGPT is unsustainable, with OpenAI spending millions of dollars daily to keep it running, leading to financial losses.

• OpenAI is facing copyright lawsuits from creators, putting ChatGPT at risk if legal loopholes are exploited, potentially derailing the project.

• Big Tech's ecosystem-based strategy and convenient integration of AI tools pose a significant challenge to ChatGPT's long-term success.

If it is used to find relevant data that’s good. If it is asked for conclusions we’re in trouble.

CIA Builds Its Own Artificial Intelligence Tool in Rivalry With China

US intelligence agencies are getting their own ChatGPT-style tool to sift through an avalanche of public information for clues.

The Central Intelligence Agency is preparing to roll out a feature akin to OpenAI Inc.’s now-famous program that will use artificial intelligence to give analysts better access to open-source intelligence, according to agency officials. The CIA’s Open-Source Enterprise division plans to provide intelligence agencies with its AI tool soon.
