    Why watermarking AI-generated content won’t guarantee trust online

    MIT Technology Review, 08/09/23. The use of the term “watermarking” has become confusing in the field of AI, as it is often used to refer to various content disclosure methods. However, clarity is essential for implementing effective transparency measures. Invisible and visible watermarks can be manipulated or removed, rendering them unreliable. Furthermore, the durability and effectiveness of disclosure techniques differ across different content types. Questions arise regarding who has the authority to detect watermarks and make claims based on them, as well as the potential privacy implications for content creators. Direct disclosures may not always achieve their intended effects and can be perceived as biased. Policymakers need to provide clearer guidance on designing disclosures that preserve privacy while being practical. Evaluating the impact of coordinated disclosures on trust in online content is also crucial. READ THE ARTICLE

    TikTok Adds New Required Labels for AI-Generated Content

    Social Media Today, 08/09/23. The rise in AI-generated content has prompted social networks to take action. TikTok has implemented new rules requiring users to tag AI-generated content or risk having it removed. The platform aims to stay ahead of potential AI deepfakes by enforcing disclosure rules. TikTok is not the only platform addressing AI content, as Instagram is also developing its own AI labels. YouTube and Twitter are also working on tools to handle AI-generated content. TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, had previously added AI labels to the Chinese version of the platform, giving TikTok an advantage in meeting requirements. With AI-generated content becoming more prevalent, tagging systems are crucial for transparency and user awareness. READ THE ARTICLE

    Study Shows High Patient Satisfaction with AI Eye Screenings

    PR Newswire, 08/09/23. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting diabetic retinopathy has proven to be a practical solution for low-resource communities. A study conducted in Rwanda showed that AI-based screening for diabetic retinopathy is not only feasible but also leads to high levels of patient satisfaction. The research found that patient satisfaction with AI screening was over 99%. Factors such as convenience, integrated workflow, and immediate access to reports contributed to this high satisfaction level. With the rising prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in sub-Saharan Africa, access to affordable and accessible screening technologies is crucial in preventing irreversible vision loss.

    How continuous learning keeps leaders relevant in the age of AI

    MIT Sloan School, 08/09/23. In today’s rapidly changing world, imagination is crucial for leaders. Vanessa Tanicien, director of client success at LifeLabs Learning, emphasizes the need for a change mindset and continuous learning. Extraction and transfer skills play a vital role in this process. Extraction involves reflecting on causes, events, and results to identify and address systemic problems, while transfer involves linking new knowledge to existing experiences, repeating it, and teaching it to others. As artificial intelligence and machine learning advance, human decision-making skills remain valuable. Double down on learning to stand out from machines. READ THE ARTICLE

    Roblox is aiming for Westworld-like ease of design with generative AI tools / The Roblox CEO’s vision for 3D creation is a text prompt that creates whatever items you ask for.

    The Verge, 08/09/23. During Roblox’s Q2 2023 earnings call, CEO David Baszucki mentioned that their generative AI systems could work similarly to those seen on the sci-fi show Westworld. Baszucki envisions a future where anyone can create avatars or clothing solely through text prompts, with these creations being generated in real time. This advancement in AI technology would not only accelerate quality for Roblox developers but also allow for a greater diversity of experiences on the platform. Additionally, it could provide an easier way for people without coding or design experience to create and sell on Roblox. READ THE ARTICLE
