What happened this week in AI byΒ Louis

The lawsuit that could rewrite the rules of AI copyright…

Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI (all companies behind GitHub Copilot) are being sued for allegedly violating copyright law by reproducing open-source code using AI. The lawsuit, filed in California last week, is considered the first major copyright lawsuit involving an β€œAI system”, with potential damages reachingΒ $9B.

This lawsuit is mainly because, as most of you may know, Copilot has been found to regurgitate long sections of licensed code without providing credit, which was discovered by many users. This is also something that could cause problems for image models, as similar things could happen where we generate back images or sensitive data from the training set. Because of this, the outcome of this lawsuit will set an important precedent for future instances of AI infringing on copyright, IP, or other restricted information. It will also surely spark investigation into how to prevent this from happening!

P.S.: we have the results for the NeurIPS giveaway powered by our friends at Activeloop! Congratulations to Simon and Arav! I am excited to see you there inΒ person!

  1. Midjourney V4 is out!
    V4 is a new model trained from scratch by Midjourney. It has a totally new codebase and has been in the works for 9 months! Try it out on their DiscordΒ server.
  2. Deepmind Scholarshipsβ€Šβ€”β€Šbuilding a stronger and more inclusive AI community
    These scholarships offer students from underrepresented groups financial support to study graduate courses relating to AI and adjacent fields, support from a DeepMind mentor, and opportunities to attend leading AI academic conferences.
    β€œOur vision is to help make the AI ecosystem more representative of society. The DeepMind scholarship programme aims to help extend opportunities and remove barriers for underrepresented groups so they can bring their unique perspectives and backgrounds to the exciting field ofΒ AI.”
  3. What Do Businesses Want From AI?
    In a study commissioned by Capital One, Forrester Consulting surveyed 150 data management decision-makers in North America about their organizations’ ML goals, challenges, and plans to operationalize ML. Respondents revealed that ML is beginning to drive business impact, with automated anomaly detection as the top priority in the next one year to threeΒ years.

Some additional key highlights:

  • 53% of respondents plan to improve business efficiency by leveraging ML.
  • 73% of respondents find transparency, traceability, and explainability of data flows challenging.
  • 67% of respondents intend to leverage partnerships to fill ML staffΒ gaps.

Ant Colony Optimization: An overview by ChinmayΒ Bhalerao

A group of unique problem-solving techniques and approaches that are inspired by natural processes are known as β€œnature-inspired algorithms.” The ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO), used in computer science and operations research, is a probabilistic method for resolving computing issues that may be simplified to finding appropriate paths through graphs. This blog briefly explains the intuition and math behindΒ ACO.
