AI Search Engines, Creator Rights, and Apple's iPad Event

Welcome, AI enthusiast — Here’s this week’s edition of Inside AI,
Weekly Round-Up:

• AI Safety in Search Engines

• OpenAI outlines how to ‘opt out’ of AI training for content creators

• Apple New Event For iPad, Apple Pencil and New Keyboard Case

• More AI tools & Resources

AI SEARCH ENGINE
Companies will be required to disclose A.I safety results

This feature would let users ask questions and get responses with details from sources like Wikipedia and blogs, sometimes accompanied by relevant images. For example, if someone asked how to change a doorknob, ChatGPT could provide a diagram.

This development would put OpenAI in direct competition with Google and the AI search startup Perplexity. While Google is updating its search to integrate AI, and Perplexity is known for its AI-driven search engine that focuses on accuracy and citations, OpenAI's new feature could enhance ChatGPT's functionality, which already includes limited web search capabilities for paid users. The full details of this feature are not yet public, and OpenAI has not commented on it.

OpenAI outlines how to ‘opt out’ of AI training for content creators

OpenAI released a document titled “Our approach to content and data in the age of AI,” proposing a new initiative to align AI model training with creators' consent for using their works. However, the document seems to merely spin a positive narrative without promising significant changes, and even acknowledges the lack of legal obligation to avoid using creative works without consent.

OpenAI describes ongoing efforts as if they already respect creators' choices, yet hints that truly respecting copyright could be financially impractical. They suggest a new tool, Media Manager, to allow creators to specify the use of their content, but this approach shifts the burden to creators rather than having OpenAI secure the necessary rights before use. The document overall suggests more of an appearance of consent than a commitment to meaningful change in how AI models use copyrighted content.

APPLE
Apple iPad event 2024

On Tuesday, May 7 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET, the company is set to unveil the latest additions to the iPad line. According to the rumor mill, that list includes: a new iPad Pro, iPad Air, Apple Pencil and a keyboard case.

More surprisingly, the event may also see the launch of the new M4 chip, a little over six months after the company unveiled three new M3 chips in one fell swoop. Why the quick silicon refresh? Well, for starters, word on the street is that Apple launched the M3 later than expected (likely owing to supply chain issues), forcing the company to launch all three chips at the same event.
