Chuck Schumer Looks to Pass Bills Against AI Deepfakes as Polls Approach

This past year, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has emphasized the need for legislators to regulate artificial intelligence (AI). Schumer and others fear that without guardrails for using AI to portray political candidates, deepfakes of candidates such as Trump and Harris would fill the media landscape and ultimately weaken the trust and faith voters have in elections, their candidates and democracy. This comes after Elon Musk shared a deepfake video of Vice President Kamala Harris saying things she’d never said on his X platform. Schumer explained that deepfakes were a huge threat to democracy and national security, revealing that there…

US Courts Face Puzzle as Music Labels Sue Over AI

Udio, an artificial intelligence (AI) music website, seems to be imitating songs written and produced by actual people, flouting the rights of artists globally. This shows how music generated by artificial intelligence is not based on its own creativity but rather by “stealing” the labor and creativity of others. This explains why earlier this year, artists such as Stevie Wonder, Nicki Minaj, Billie Eilish and Tift Merritt, among others, penned a letter warning that music generated by artificial intelligence trained on their own works could sideline artists and destroy creativity. The use of artificial intelligence in this way has big…

How AI Can Facilitate the Energy Transition Without Standing in the Way

According to ChatGPT, the energy consumed by artificial-intelligence (AI) systems varies depending on their usage and complexity.
