A German court ruled that OpenAI's ChatGPT violated the nation's copyright laws by training its language models on licensed musical work without permission, multiple news outlets, including The Guardian reported. The decision came from a lawsuit that GEMA, the society that handles music rights in Germany, filed last November against OpenAI. The company was ordered to pay an undisclosed amount of damages to GEMA, but said it disagreed with the ruling and is "considering next steps."

"Sam had just helped us raise a round of funding," Ohanian said on the podcast, recounting details of Reddit's $50 million Series B investment round it announced in 2014. In 2015, Altman cofounded OpenAI as a nonprofit. Between 2015 and 2016, Ohanian said, Altman had begun asking "to basically aggressively scrape Reddit." A debate ensued between Ohanian and Reddit cofounder Steve Huffman (who still serves as the now-public company's CEO). "Sam is a very smart guy, incredibly cunning," Ohanian said.

"Both the memorisation in the language models and the reproduction of the song lyrics in the chatbot's outputs constitute infringements of copyright law," the court ruled.

"They'll get over 100 example chats that were written by OpenAI veterans based on real transition tasks," Mulligan said. "They'll get a custom 'Getting Started' video that was built specifically for servicemembers and veterans by another member of our team who is also actually an Army veteran. And they'll also get onboarding through the OpenAI Academy. We're partnering with ShareID to verify eligibility, so we can deliver this directly to those who served."

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that an era when entire companies are run by AI models is nearly upon us. And if he has it his way, it'll be OpenAI leading the charge, even if it means losing his job. "Shame on me if OpenAI isn't the first big company run by an AI CEO," Altman said on an episode of the "Conversations with Tyler" podcast recorded last month

Some of these users, like 48-year-old Allan Brooks, survived, but allege that ChatGPT wrought emotional and psychological harm, and in some cases led to crises requiring emergency psychiatric care. Others, the suits claim, tragically took their lives following obsessive interactions with the consumer-facing chatbot. Per the WSJ, the suits include claims of assisted suicide, manslaughter, and wrongful death, among other allegations.

Pundits use the term to describe systems that appear to "think" independently of what humans program them to do, an ability that some previously described as "artificial general intelligence," or AGI. Suleyman announced he's heading up a new AI Superintelligence Team at Microsoft in a blog post Thursday. The key difference in Microsoft's vision, Suleyman said, is the vision of a humanist superintelligence, or HSI, that trades blind AI ambition for carefully planned limitations to make sure AI helps rather than harms us.

Clearly, it has a social consequence when you have fewer journalists; clearly, it has a social consequence if the ability to write books in a meaningful, sustainable way is undermined. And there are people who are aware of that, Sam Altman, Sundar Pichai at Google, Tim Cook, you can talk with them in a way that they understand their business needs to have this constant creative flow,

OpenAI has signed a landmark $38 billion agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to secure the immense computing power required to train and deploy its next generation of artificial intelligence systems - marking one of the biggest technology infrastructure deals ever struck. The partnership, announced this week, will give the maker of ChatGPT access to vast fleets of graphics processors - including hundreds of thousands of Nvidia chips - hosted within Amazon's cloud network.

The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), an anti-piracy organization representing Japanese IP holders like Studio Ghibli and Bandai Namco, released a letter last week asking OpenAI to stop using its members' content to train Sora 2, as reported by . The letter states that "CODA considers that the act of replication during the machine learning process may constitute copyright infringement," since the resulting AI model went on to spit out content with copyrighted characters.
