🤖 AI Today: Oscars, Author Rights & Apple's AI Claims
Welcome to AI Daily Podcast, your source for the latest developments in artificial intelligence. Today we're covering some fascinating stories from the world of AI.
In a groundbreaking development for the film industry, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has officially updated its Oscar rules to include AI-generated content. While AI-assisted films can now compete for the prestigious awards, there's a catch - the AI must be under human supervision, and no film can be credited solely to artificial intelligence. This marks a significant shift in Hollywood's relationship with AI technology.
In the UK, authors are about to receive better compensation for their work. A pioneering collective license is being developed that will ensure writers get paid when their works are used to train AI models. The Copyright Licensing Agency, working with publishers and authors' organizations, is set to launch this groundbreaking system this summer, making it the first of its kind in the United Kingdom.
In tech industry news, Apple has faced some controversy over its AI marketing claims. The company was required to remove the 'Available Now' label from its Apple Intelligence webpage after the National Advertising Division found the claim to be misleading. Several promised AI features, including Priority Notifications and ChatGPT integration, weren't fully available at the iPhone 16 launch as initially advertised.
This situation highlights the growing importance of transparency in AI marketing and the challenges tech companies face as they compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
