In this week’s news feed: Cyber pirates?
Our twice-a-week curated news roundup launches on Monday morning. We spotlight a potential class-action lawsuit that accuses Microsoft and its collaborators of pirating billions of lines of code that were publicly available on the internet. At the core of the case is Microsoft’s Copilot technology that uses AI training to analyze data from the internet, which, in turn, helps it generate its own computer code. This case could have far-reaching impacts on the technology behind AI-generated art.
