As the intersection between AI and HI grows smaller protections need to be established. Although not perfect it is the long awaited first step.

Last year everyone got very excited about #GenerativeAI. This year we keep seeing headlines about #GenAI used poorly. In the last weeks... 1. A really poor, and probably unnecessary use of #AI generated imagery for a simple FB ad. The image is just clearly flawed & obviously fake - its lazy. https://lnkd.in/eWvsXYis 2. The probably now infamous use of AI for the #advertising of the "Wonka experience" https://lnkd.in/emP4RSTv 3. Trump supporters target voters with AI fakes: https://lnkd.in/eZaawZdV 4. An example that impacted a friend of mine thats a little different: having submitted an application to an organisation: he was asked to rewrite it without the use of AI. The problem? He didn't use AI. The organisation appeared to have used AI to flag applications generated using AI... and clearly got it wrong. 5. My own experience... I used #ChatGPT to generate Anagrams for a pub quiz. Seemed like a simple enough ask. I didn't check the anagrams... and when the quiz came along we had some very confused quizzers as the answers were being read out... as the anagrams weren't even close to being correct. Significant egg on my own face. The threads that tie these together? 1. AI is not a replacement for human diligence. It can speed things up - and save some money, let you do things you could never have done before - but you as a human are still responsible for the output. Don't assume AI will get it right. Keep a human in the loop. 2. If you use AI to try and pull the wool over peoples eyes you will be found out. Just don't do it. Use AI to express reality in new and creative ways - don't use it to invent new realities. 3. We are clearly already developing a crisis of trust caused by Gen-AI. Advertising that is misleading. People being paranoid about applications being AI generated. Politicians being targeted with fakes both to their benefit and detriment. (and this coming ahead of a major election year: We are all going to have to be very very careful what we share or repeat). AI is an amazingly powerful tool - but humans need to stay in the loop. If you're running a company - consider how you deploy it to enhance or possibly enable you to redeploy your staff - not replace them. And finally... any politician who suggest that AI doesn't need to be regulated (Looking at you Rishi Sunak) is living in a dream world. As a #LibDem I'll be advocating for the accelerated use of AI in our country - but with pragmatic safeguards and regulation in place.

As the Queensland Symphony Orchestra's recent AI-generated ad debacle shows, even the most cutting-edge technology needs a human in the loop. While AI offers exciting possibilities, it's crucial to remember that it's a tool, not a replacement for human judgment and creativity. Just like any new technology, AI must be implemented responsibly and ethically, considering its impact on our customers and brand image. We can't simply throw AI at a problem and expect a perfect solution. Your brand might even be negatively impacted by it's use - if it doesn't align to your vision or customer beliefs. AI should augment, not replace. Here's a few things to consider as you think about implementing AI: 1. Maintain control and oversight: Established review processes are essential to ensure the quality and appropriateness of AI-generated content. If you don't have review processes, now's the time to start building them. 2. Prioritize human expertise: Don't underestimate the value of human creativity, judgment, and customer knowledge. Don't do something because "AI said so", we've seen what happens when people follow Google maps blindly... 3. Use AI ethically: Be mindful of potential biases and ensure AI is used in a way that aligns with your company's values. Yes this is a real thing, consider that Google disabled image generation in Gemini just because of this. Making AI tools available is important, they're too widespread (and helpful) to ignore. Doing so with the necassary safeguards & training is equally important. What processes are you considering to accommodate AI at work? #AI #technology #responsibility #ethics #business https://lnkd.in/gessqswK

UMG chairman-CEO Lucian Grainge spoke about it at length in a letter to staff obtained by Variety. In it, he gives very broad explanations of the terms, including (in the case of AI), “protecting human artists from being economically disadvantaged by AI; guarding against the use of AI-generated deepfakes; and requiring transparency in how AI companies train their models.” #AI #Musicbiz #musicindustry https://lnkd.in/grbBKrdU

Let's check in to see how things are going at the other orchestra AI.... https://lnkd.in/eRe2r3u7

Protecting & empowering artists is the right thing to do. Consent, credit, and fair market compensation needs to be the cornerstone of generative AI.

The whole language industry needs this. AI generated content is fine, but AI translated content likely prevents the reader and author from knowing if the source and target actually means the same. The only solution is that it's either labeled as AI with no legal recourse for its use, or a professional certifies it. Hollywood and Tennessee are showing options for how to address this. #litranslators #genai #languageservices #translationservices #knowthedifference
