More photo agencies are unhappy about the scraping of their images by LAION. Here is the case of a specialised sport and historical agency. Their story includes a couple of interresting facts: - Images may be scrapped from the original websites or from websites allowing sharing of content, such as Pinterest (in clear this means that "no opt-out" on the basis of art. 4.3 of the European Copyright Directive is possible). - Web pages were searched for tags and the links to the images, as well as the alt tags and title tags, were stored. As the author points out the metadata of the images in specialised areas such as sports or history has value and requires extensive work and specialised knowledge. - It seems that only small specialised photo agencies / photo sites :"Images from IMAGO or picture alliance cannot be found in the data set, at least not by searching "Have i been trained"." Why? asks the author of the blog. (My own questionning: is this really the case?) - LAION claim that they are non profit. However, "What does non-profit mean in a world where the scraped data ends up with commercial third parties? Yes, exactly, the data sets end up with commercial text-image models like Stable Diffusion and the company Stable AI, which in turn support LAION, according to various media reports."

Interesting overview of free Midjourney alternatives (German text) providing how-to and examples of generated images. #ai #kuenstlicheintelligenz #ki https://lnkd.in/e9P26Dw3

It is really interesting to see the integration of AI functionality into all kinds of platforms arising. Also LinkedIn. Looking forward to see where this is going. (article in German DeepL might help): https://lnkd.in/eakN4uUT

News from this week. The opinions about using AI can be diverse. What makes me glad here, after 30 years professional work, where I took care that scientists have all relevant information and publications available when starting or during a project: The student states, that he first searched for relevant information and publications and made this available to the AI, before he let the AI do the writing. With other words: Always think about proper division of work between human and AI. https://lnkd.in/eGQVMBWC

📢 New German Blogpost: C-Level Executives from the Microtechnology-industry see competitive advantages through AI - but companies lack technical and legal know-how! 📈🧠The hype around #ChatGPT continues to surge, and for good reason! Scientific studies reveal remarkable efficiency gains and fresh creative possibilities across various domains. At the end of last year, IVAM Microtechnology Network and Hochschule Hamm-Lippstadt conducted a survey titled "Generative #KünstlicheIntelligenz in der Unternehmenspraxis: Chancen und Risiken aus der Perspektive mittelständischer Unternehmen aus der #Mikrosystemtechnik." The findings confirm the significance of the topic and highlight the existing knowledge gap. Uwe Kleinkes comments on the results in his new guest article "KMU sehen Wettbewerbsvorteile durch KI – Noch fehlt fachliches und rechtliches Know-how!" https://lnkd.in/gSvvSqR7 The detailed results of the survey are also available in English at https://lnkd.in/g_VdjhfH #IVAM #Microtechnology #Network #ExecutiveClub #AI #KnowledgeGap #BusinessInsights #IVAMResearch

If you don't want to study but still want to engage with #ki:Then just play cards. As a kind of #KIKompass the #InstitutfürInternetundGesellschaft has developed a card game about #artificialintelligence, its use, programming and social challenges. It's funny tomplay with, it allows for stimulating discussions and imparts a lot of knowledge - not only for adults: https://lnkd.in/gfcCVkBn #democracy, #using, #getting to know, #counterfakes, #workingwithin, #artificialintelligence, #ai, #studyingwithin, #IT4Science, #discoverLRZ OpenWebSearch.eu

Together with others I was given the opportunity to contribute to this article "To sell more books with the help of AI" with insights and positions: https://lnkd.in/esGKesp5

Generative AI better than Bachelor's graduates? The Technical University of Munich has rejected an application for a Master's degree course because 45 percent of an essay was "with a very high probability" generated by AI. How did they find out? Easy: The professors noticed that the essay simply was "too good". Does that say something about the quality of the students or rather about the quality of Gen AI?                               #ai #contentcreation # https://lnkd.in/d7gbsVUN

Does AI-generated content pollution have the potential to undermine us as human beings and collectively in the same way that real pollution has the ability to physically harm us? It will affect us all, one way or the other. Interesting read.
