Detecting Deepfakes
Marc Andreessen says detecting deepfakes is not going to work because AI is already too good. Watch the video for his solution.
200+ Artists Urge Tech Platforms to Stop Devaluing Music
Nearly 250 artists call on tech companies to stop AI use that devalues music and infringes upon the rights of human artists.
AI has enormous potential as a tool for human creativity – but when used irresponsibly, it poses an existential threat to our art. LINK
The Startups Building the Future of AI
Over the next several months, the internet (and our lives) will be inundated with crappy AI-generated content, scarily compelling deepfake video and audio, the continued large-scale theft of our data, our creations, and our likeness (now at the speed of thought), and worse.
The source of this dystopia?
Crappy AI models, built with dodgy algorithms, using shoddy data sets, on expensive GPUs—all owned and controlled by Big Tech.
We will lose any trust in the digitized world. And the need for open source & decentralized AI will be excruciatingly evident.
Fortunately, some founders are already working hard on this massive problem.
Here are some of the TOP STARTUPS building the future of AI: LINK
A Decentralize AI Community
I’m pulling together a community of people who want to ensure that they AI serves humans not the other way around. The only way to do this is by open sourcing and decentralizing AI—taking it out of the hands of Big Tech and putting it in hands of innovators everywhere. It’s how we safeguard the future and prevent a dystopia where five companies control the world.
Events and get-togethers are in the works.
