Kathy Vidal, the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO released a memo regarding the Patent Office's position on applications prepared at least in part using artificial intelligence. The memo says “Applicability of existing regulations to party and physician misconduct related to the use of artificial intelligence” Vidal expressed confidence. [Patent Trial and Appeal Board and Trademark Trial and Appeal Board] Successfully apply existing skills and relevant existing rules to the challenges posed by AI-assisted and/or fully AI-generated declarations.

Such submissions may be construed as papers submitted for inappropriate purposes. Additionally, Vidal said the USPTO will soon issue a notice providing specific guidance on the use of AI tools by parties and practitioners.
Major AI companies is calling on the UK's new 'AI safety' regulator to speed up feedback on its latest large language model. The regulatory body, known as the 'AI Safety Institute', was established by the UK government in November 2023 with the aim of facilitating analysis and exchange of information on the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. However, many companies, including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google DeepMind, and Meta, have expressed frustration that regulations have not kept up with the pace of technology development. The UK agency was set up to minimize the risk of misuse of AI, including cybersecurity risks and the AI-assisted design of biological weapons, but the program is a voluntary review of the internal workings of models for review. Relies on submissions. A similar agency was established in the United States in November, led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
AI image analysis model The Herculaneum Papyrus has been used to decipher and read portions of the Herculaneum Papyrus, a series of scrolls recovered from the ancient Roman villa at Pompeii that was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The ancient scrolls were the result of eruptions that charred papyrus beyond recognition to the naked eye during eruptions that have since been considered impossible to read due to the extreme heat, but the process also hardened the papyrus. It was preserved despite being rolled up, and some of the documents were destroyed in previous attempts to spread them. The developed AI model was trained on “crackles”, a pattern of cracks and lines caused by dried ink on a page, and the Greek inscriptions on the scrolls, even though the ink had long been invisible. The characters have been revealed.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) It banned AI-generated spam robocalls over concerns that the technology could be used to mislead voters or blackmail in future elections. The ban comes as technology regulators struggle with what to do about the proliferation of deepfakes online.
