Artificial intelligence, Law, Ethics and Society
On Thursday, August 22, 2024, TV SLO 1 aired the sixth episode of the show Conversations about the Future with the subtitle Artificial intelligence, Law, Ethics and Society, in which three guests discussed the legal, ethical and social challenges of the rapid development of artificial intelligence. In addition to Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič from ODIPI there were also Dr. Igor Bijuklič from the Educational Research Institute Ljubljana and the Faculty of Education of the University of Primorska and Filip Dobranić from the Institute of Contemporary History.
“How to take advantage of the great benefits that artificial intelligence can bring and how to prevent risks to humanity and the planet.” With these words of the CEO of OpenAI, Dr. Maja Bogataj Jančič opened the Conversations about the Future and in the first part on artificial intelligence and copyright, she emphasized that generative artificial intelligence should only be a tool of the human creator. The conversation then moved to the area between law and ethics, where the guests considered whether it is a good idea to use generative artificial intelligence to replicate human capabilities, where artificial intelligence has already replaced some professions. In the last section on artificial intelligence and society, they discussed that every technological innovation has supporters and detractors, and with artificial intelligence we are most concerned about the speed and at the same time the unpredictability of development.
You are invited to watch the show.

The District Court of Hamburg ruled in the case of Kneschke v. LAION e.V. that LAION did not infringe the copyright of photographer Kneschke, as the use of his photograph was covered by the exception for text and data mining (TDM) for scientific purposes.
“Can copyright bring artificial intelligence to its knees? Which other circumstances may cause that the “making” of generative AI can dramatically change in the (near) future. This short paper presents potential challenges that copyright poses to the training of the machines on large amount of data. Different jurisdictions address these issues differently. In the USA the legality of these activities is tested in several court cases. Do gentlemen’s agreements and pragmatic symbiosis known from the “search engines business model” provide sufficient basis and/or incentive for the business model of “making” generative AI business model as well?
