Keeping up with the fast-moving AI industry can be a challenge, which is why TechCrunch is planning to launch an AI newsletter soon. In the meantime, the frequency of their AI column will increase to weekly.
One recent development in AI was OpenAI exploring the responsible generation of AI porn. This decision has sparked conversations about the implications and potential impact of allowing explicit content in AI products.
While there may be legitimate forms of adult artistic expression using AI-powered tools, there are concerns about creator rights and safeguards against potential abuse. Companies like OpenAI have struggled to prevent misuse of their models, such as creating nude images using AI-generated content.
AI has also been used for sexual abuse, with instances of deepfake imagery and misuse of AI-generated apps for non-consensual activities. Laws are being implemented to combat this issue, but regulating the AI industry remains a challenge.
Despite the risks and challenges associated with AI-generated porn, companies like OpenAI continue to explore this controversial topic. Other recent AI developments include Apple’s AI plans, new features in customer service using AI, restrictions on AI use by Microsoft, fundraising in the cloud industry for generative AI, and the limitations of integrating generative AI due to hallucinations. Amazon’s CTO also recently open-sourced a meeting summarizer app.
