It seems like a weekly occurrence that I’m on the phone with legal and my production team to sort through the ins and outs of synthetic voice, text to speech, commercial use of generative music vs. licensed. Whether it’s in the pages of the trades or in hallway conversations, when it comes to those brands and #agencies (their creators and producers) experimenting with #AI, I’m seeing plenty of lambasting and admonishing of those who mess up, but not enough material discussion. It strikes me the only way we’ll manage around machine learning, is if we’re doing the human learning alongside it. https://lnkd.in/exthDBRz

A couple of weeks ago I listened to this fab webinar on AI 'Riding the Waves of Change: AI Tools for Content Creators', with Mint & Co, The Connected Set and Russells Solicitors. Jason and Holly, from The Connected Set, are clearly advocates for AI and give compelling examples for its use, but what was also interesting is there is an informed explanation of where you stand legally with AI in the UK and further afield. I have included the link below, which will work for a month. Until recently I hadn't realised how much AI is already within the TV industry: Chat GPT, Midjourney, Claude.ai. And yet, it's now and will be in the future across a large chunk of our workload. Midjourney - creating images from text, Chat GPT - creating an initial first pass at ideas and shows, Gemini - catching you up on emails and composing responses etc. Then in the very near future with SORA video generation from text (if you haven't seen the wild west video have a quick google, link also below) and Autopad the first pass of an edit. Other interesting take homes: ➡ in theory AI is trained on licensed content, data sets and general scraping, but it seems most AI programmes are facing some sort of legal suit due to copyright infringement. ➡ Copyright is different across the world and things like fair use only apply in the US. ➡ Not all UK broadcasters currently have a position on the use of AI. The BBC has information in its editorial guidelines, but not ITV or C4. After listening to a different webinar recently, I also felt it was important to add this here too: AI has the ability to speed things up, but it doesn't understand human emotion, which is the heart of a programme and is why a viewer will remain engaged. I could go on, but the link is attached, basically AI is here and you need to know about it. #AI #theconnectedset #jasonmitchell #hollyrowlandshempel https://lnkd.in/dUJJKYNR https://lnkd.in/d_Xja9sU

Did you know that our AI mastering service doesn’t infringe on any copyrighted material? 💡 🤖 That’s right! Masterchannel works like a human engineer on each track. Instead of using existing songs to find a match, our AI analyzes and optimizes each song individually, using the same techniques as a human engineer would. 🎶 To learn more about why Masterchannel is the most ethical AI for mastering, watch the video below where our CTO, Simon Hestermann, explains how it works.

Meet Michael Smith - The man who made $10m using AI... And got arrested for making $10m using AI. He made his millions through royalties by streaming hundreds of thousands of fake AI-generated music tracks to fake AI listeners (aka bots). It's both idiotic and genius at the same time. He initially tried to create the tracks himself. But then realised why bother when AI can do it for me! AI created thousands of fake bands and music tracks, and then listened to them with AI bots at a rate of around 661,440 streams per day. In the process netting millions in royalties. Calm Identity and Zygotic Washstands were some of the random band names made up by AI. Prosecutors said it is the first case of this kind they've ever handled. With all that being said... It highlights the importance of knowing what's right and what's wrong. Especially when it comes to AI. Which is why I'm glad to announce I'm hosting a FREE AI Legal Webinar next week. It'll cover all the do's and don'ts around AI. The latest information around AI law and court cases. And 3 essential things you need to know to get the most from AI safely.

How do we make sure this technology serves us, not the other way around? That's where the Brennan Center's Artificial Intelligence Legislation Tracker comes in. This awesome tool gathers all the AI-related bills popping up in Congress, making it easy for you to stay informed. The more we know about how lawmakers are trying to tackle these issues, the better. Why is this important? AI can be a double-edged sword. It can improve our lives in a million ways, but it also raises serious concerns about copyright, stealing the work of artists + creatives, privacy and bias. Stay informed! Together, we can build an AI-powered world that's fair, equitable, and benefits us all! ✨ Access the tracker here: https://loom.ly/lA5jMXM #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #CreativeWashtenaw #SupportTheArts
