How judges, not politicians, could dictate America’s AI rules
Melissa Heikkiläarchive – MIT Technology Review
Lawsuits are emerging as a potential route to regulate and shape the use of AI in the US. Federal agencies and individuals are suing AI companies, such as OpenAI and Meta, over concerns related to consumer protection, privacy, copyright infringement, and fairness. The outcomes of these cases could lead to new AI regulations and ways for artists and authors to be compensated for their work used in AI training data. Experts believe that lawsuits may precede comprehensive AI-specific legislation due to the split Congress and tech companies’ lobbying efforts.

Generative AI: Are we Seeing the Future of Corporate L&D?
Diane Nowell – Headspring Executive Development
Generative AI, represented by ChatGPT from OpenAI, is rapidly gaining popularity and has the potential to transform corporate Learning & Development (L&D) programs. Its applications include creating personalized training content, improving access and inclusion for learners, scaling cross-organizational provision, delivering continuous learning at scale, and accelerating skills-based learning. However, human oversight and planning will remain crucial, as AI’s accuracy depends on the quality of training data and the human understanding of learning methodologies. Integrating generative AI into L&D culture will require careful consideration and may increase the workload for L&D departments.
A college student created an app that can tell whether AI wrote an essay
Emma Bowman – National Public Radio
Princeton University senior Edward Tian has developed GPTZero, an app to detect whether text is written by the AI chatbot ChatGPT, addressing concerns about AI plagiarism in academia. The app uses “perplexity” and “burstiness” indicators to distinguish human-written text from AI-generated content. While not foolproof, the app aims to bring transparency to AI and promote responsible adoption of AI technologies. Other efforts to curb AI plagiarism include OpenAI’s plan to watermark GPT-generated text, and Hugging Face’s tool to detect AI-written content. The New York City education department has blocked access to ChatGPT in schools due to concerns about its impact on learning.
