This Week in AI: The fate of generative AI is in the courts' hands | TechCrunch

Jun 26, 2024 - techcrunch.com
Music labels have accused two AI-powered song generator startups, Udio and Suno, of copyright infringement. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced lawsuits against the companies, claiming they trained their AI models on labels’ music without compensation. The suits add to the growing body of litigation against generative AI vendors, including OpenAI, arguing that companies training on copyrighted works must pay rightsholders or at least credit them.

In other news, OpenAI has delayed the advanced Voice Mode for its AI-powered chatbot platform ChatGPT, while Google is rolling out a new Gemini-powered AI side panel in Gmail. Meanwhile, Goodreads’ co-founder Otis Chandler has launched Smashing, an AI- and community-powered content recommendation app. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) claim to have developed a model, DenseAV, that can learn language by predicting what it sees from what it hears.

Key takeaways:

  • Music labels have accused two AI startups, Udio and Suno, of copyright infringement for training their AI models on labels’ music without compensation. The suits are part of a growing body of litigation against generative AI vendors, including OpenAI.
  • OpenAI has delayed advanced Voice Mode for its AI-powered chatbot platform ChatGPT and acqui-hired remote collaboration startup Multi. Google is rolling out a new Gemini-powered AI side panel in Gmail and other productivity apps.
  • A study from NewsGuard found that leading AI chatbots, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, are regurgitating snippets from Russian propaganda campaigns, highlighting the need for increased scrutiny on AI vendors as election season in the U.S. nears.
  • Researchers at MIT’s CSAIL have developed a model, DenseAV, that can learn language by predicting what it sees from what it hears and vice versa. The model was trained on a dataset of 2 million YouTube videos and can identify objects from their names and sounds.
