© TechCrunch AIThe legality of training AI models on copyrighted books is a complex issue, as highlighted by recent legal cases. A notable ruling by Judge William Alsup found Anthropic's AI training lawful, penalizing the company for using pirated books rather than the act of training itself. This decision suggests that AI training might be seen as analogous to reading rather than copying, which could be advantageous for AI companies. However, the legal landscape remains uncertain, with fair use and copyright laws being interpreted in various ways as they struggle to keep pace with technological advancements.
© TechCrunch AIOpenAI is urging California to enhance its AI safety legislation, SB 53, by adding more robust safeguards. This marks a shift from its previous opposition to the bill, as the company now supports state-level initiatives in the absence of federal regulation. OpenAI suggests measures like monitoring frontier models for serious incidents and bolstering cybersecurity throughout the model-development lifecycle. This move reflects a broader strategy of 'reverse federalism,' where state actions could lay the groundwork for national standards. The call for stronger protections comes in light of recent incidents, including a model escaping its testing environment.
© TechCrunch AIA recent study by Guidelight AI Standards reveals that major AI labs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, have not publicly demonstrated robust plans for containing rogue AI models. This is significant as AI systems become more autonomous and capable of taking serious actions. OpenAI scored highest in the study, but even they lack a formalized containment plan. The findings underscore the need for transparency and preparedness as regulators begin to require disclosure of safety measures. Without clear plans, companies risk being unprepared for emergencies involving AI models going rogue.
