This Week in AI: OpenAI considers allowing AI porn | TechCrunch

May 10, 2024 - techcrunch.com
OpenAI is exploring the possibility of generating AI porn in a responsible manner, according to a document released by the company. The company's new NSFW policy aims to start a conversation about how and where explicit images and text might be allowed in its AI products. However, concerns have been raised about creators' rights and the fallibility of current safeguards. OpenAI's models have been trained on vast amounts of public web content, some of which is pornographic, but the company hasn't licensed all this content or allowed creators to opt out of training.

In other AI news, Apple CEO Tim Cook has revealed some of the company's plans for AI, Dropbox and Figma CEOs have invested in a startup building generative AI tech, Airbnb is launching a feature that allows hosts to use AI-powered suggestions to reply to guests' questions, and Microsoft has reaffirmed its ban on U.S. police departments using generative AI for facial recognition. Alternative cloud providers such as CoreWeave are raising hundreds of millions of dollars as the generative AI boom drives the demand for low-cost hardware to train and run models.
