Sunday Sweep: Week in Review (March 3, 2024)
March 3, 2024
This week, Brazil adopted new A.I. regulation tackling election disinformation. It requires disclosing A.I. generated content as such, restricts chatbot use, and prohibits deepfakes. In an important election year across the globe, this'll be a space to watch closely. Another lawyer (this time in B.C., Canada) fell victim to LLM hallucinations and received a costs penalty for her blunder. Meanwhile, a Caribbean court is turning to A.I. for automatic transcript generation. Finally, Elon's suing OpenAI, ostensibly because they're taking money from Microsoft and that isn't what OpenAI was meant to be. While it's hard not to be skeptical about his intentions, the case certainly opens up interesting questions around AGI.
