Regulators in the EU are taking action to address the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI. A recent case involving Google's AI tool, Bard, being temporarily suspended in the EU highlights the need for regulation and compliance in this rapidly evolving field. Concerns are raised about data and privacy, as generative AI uses large amounts of data, potentially infringing copyright and processing individuals' data without consent. It is crucial for organizations to conduct data protection impact assessments and consider GDPR obligations. Transparency and consent are also key, with Zoom's data practices being questioned in terms of transparency and obtaining user consent. The conversation emphasizes the potential legal and financial consequences organizations face for non-compliance.

Remember, compliance professionals are the co-pilots of our businesses, guiding us through the complexities of the AI revolution. Let's not wait too long between podcasts and continue this journey together!

Gordon Firemark on AI & ChatGPT for Podcasters

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0000

What is the role of Artificial Intelligence in compliance? What about Machine Learning? Are you using ChatGPT? These questions are but three of the many questions we will explore in this exciting new podcast series, Compliance and AI. Hosted by Tom Fox, the award-winning Voice of Compliance, this podcast will look at how AI will impact compliance programs into the next decade and beyond. If you want to find out why the future is now, join Tom Fox on this journey to the frontiers of AI.

AI is becoming increasingly prevalent in the creative industry, and with it comes a range of legal implications. Tom Fox and Gordon Firemark recently discussed the legal implications of AI and how it can be used to create deceptive and misleading content on their podcast, Absolutely!

Tom and Gordon believe that creatives should be fairly compensated for their work and that children should be taught about the business side of art. As Tom puts it, “If someone creates something of value, they should receive fair compensation for it.” They also advocate for exposing children to different ideas and lifestyles.

AI has the potential to create deep fake videos and audio, which can be difficult to distinguish from the real thing. This technology has the potential to be used to create deceptive and misleading content, which could have legal implications. For instance, the Federal Trade Commission has rules and other regulations that come into play when dealing with false advertising issues at a state level.

Additionally, intellectual property issues can arise when AI is used to summarize a book, as the courts and Copyright Office have stated that AI-generated material is not copyrightable. The recent Supreme Court ruling in the Andy Warhol Foundation versus Lynn Goldsmith case found that the use of the photograph was not transformative enough and was commercial in nature, thus the photographer had a valid copyright claim.

Tom and Gordon are both planning to attend Podcast Movement in Denver in late August. Gordon and another podcasting attorney named Lindsay Bowen will be presenting together on either a contract tear down or a mock negotiation of a deal for creatives. The panel will discuss common legal issues that need to be negotiated and worked out in those kinds of deals.

AI is a powerful and effective tool, but it is important to be aware of the potential legal implications that come with it. Creatives should be fairly compensated for their work and children should be exposed to different ideas and lifestyles. For more information on AI and the legal implications, make sure to check out Tom and Gordon’s presentation at Podcast Movement in Denver.
