If 2023 is the year of AI's emergence, 2024 may be the year of its rise.
One of the scary things about generative AI since ChatGPT launched in November 2022 is the complete lack of regulation. Large-scale language models are trained on words from social media, blog posts, articles, and more. The image generator is trained on artwork by real people. Nothing that AI creates is copyrightable, and probably shouldn't be copyrightable at this point.
It's all so confusing that it distracts from the good that AI can potentially do. Either way, AI isn't going anywhere. As we look ahead to 2024, there are signs that the wild west of generative AI will not last.
What can we expect from AI in 2024? Here's what to look out for.
Rise of CAIO
In October, President Biden signed the AI Executive Order, which, among other things, appoints a chief AI officer (CAIO) in every federal agency to regulate how the government uses AI in a way that aligns with eight guiding principles: Mandated.
- Safety and security
- innovation and competition
- worker support
- AI bias and civil rights considerations
- consumer protection
- privacy
- The federal government’s use of AI sets an example.
- international leadership
All government agencies should develop an AI strategy and AI risk management framework, as well as guidelines for the use of generative AI.
Although this executive order only applies to government agencies and not private companies, the CAIO position is becoming increasingly common across industries and is expected to become a standard fixture in the C-suite. ing.
AI Literacy Act
On December 15th, Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Delaware) and Representative Larry Buchshon (R-Ind.) introduced the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Literacy Act. The bill aims to amend the existing Digital Literacy Act to include AI literacy under the umbrella of digital literacy. This step will make AI skills education part of the curriculum in K-12 schools, universities, and workforce development programs.
Making AI education widely available is especially important given that AI will displace many low-wage jobs. AI will also create more jobs, but it will be out of reach for people who don't understand it. (Yes, this is about racial equity, but it also impacts rural areas where digital literacy is less accessible.)
“It’s no secret that the use of artificial intelligence has exploded in recent years and is playing a key role in how we learn, work, and interact with each other. This presents unique challenges as well as great opportunities for our students,” Brant Rochester said in a statement. “That’s why I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan AI Literacy Act with my colleague Congressman Buchhon. By putting AI literacy at the center of our digital literacy programs, we will not only reduce the risks of AI; , we can certainly take advantage of the opportunities created by AI to help improve the way we learn and work.”
Fake news will get worse
In the future, AI may be able to root out, or at least reliably identify, disinformation on the internet. A team in Zurich has been working on this for several years. But the explosion of generative AI has made disinformation even worse. As of Dec. 18, NewsGuard had identified 614 AI-generated news sites without human oversight, many of which spread false stories ranging from celebrity death hoaxes to political lies.
It may seem out of control, but games using this kind of technology have happened before. When people learned in the late 90s that search engines used algorithms, they took advantage of it and by the late 20s, the internet seemed to be useless. In place of AI, human-powered content has emerged. Farm (today's equivalent is TikTok's food and craft video content farm). Remember when a Google search only brought up eHow links and scam sites, leaving quality content buried? If the answer is no, you could also control AI content farms. There is an expectation that there will be.
This tells us:
Google's algorithm changes
Google's algorithm changes aren't big news. This happens a few times a year, and unless you're actively trying to scam people using search engines, you probably won't notice. In 2011, Google launched Panda Update. This eliminated content farms and web spammers manipulating SEO and allowed pages with high-quality content to rank higher.
Google and Bing now feature generative AI prominently, and algorithms that identify and rank AI-generated content as well as black hat SEO pages and keyword-stuffed content need to be improved. there is. The rate of AI-generated disinformation flooding the internet has justified something as big as Panda, not just for search engines but for social media as well.
If some online publishers have their way, the relatively new feature of typing in a query and having a chatbot answer your question could also change. This month, the Helena World Chronicle, an Arkansas-based publisher, sued Google and its parent company Alphabet in Washington, D.C., for using chatbots to summarize content and induce clicks, reducing the number of people who click. A class action lawsuit was filed in federal district court. Please read the original source.
Copyright lawsuit could change the game
Font designer Matthew Butterick has filed a multibillion-dollar lawsuit against several major technology companies, including OpenAI, Microsoft, and Github, which developed the AI programming tool Copilot, and painter Kelly McKernan has filed a multibillion-dollar lawsuit against several major technology companies, including OpenAI, Microsoft, and Github, which developed the AI programming tool Copilot. The lawsuit against Midjourney is aimed at copyright. The artist sees her work morph into her IP-free interpretations of prompts that sometimes include her name.
If these are successful next year, there could be a major shift in the way we train generative AI models. We don't yet know what that means or what it will look like, but intellectual property issues are huge and need to be addressed as AI permeates most aspects of our lives. there is.
