Over 1000 artists have released a silent album as a protest against the UK government's decision to sell music copyright to artificial intelligence companies.

The UK government is considering amending laws to allow AI companies to use creators' online content to train their models unless creators explicitly opt out of the system. This move has sparked strong opposition from the music industry, with former Beatles member Paul McCartney openly expressing his concerns, warning that it could lead to a 'Wild West' scenario where creative works lose the copyright protections they deserve. In an interview with the BBC, McCartney urged the government to reconsider this approach and emphasized the potential threat it poses to emerging artists: 'Young boys, girls...'

At the recent CES conference, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that the performance improvement speed of the company's AI chips has surpassed the historical standards set by Moore's Law. Moore's Law, proposed by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965, predicted that the number of transistors on a computer chip would approximately double every year, consequently doubling chip performance as well. However, in recent years, the pace of progress of Moore's Law has significantly slowed. Image source note: The image was generated by AI, image licensed by Midjourney.

With the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, tech companies like Google and Meta are using user comments or reviews to generate AI responses on their platforms, which may lead to new defamation law risks. Legal experts in Australia point out that when users post allegedly defamatory comments on Google or Facebook, it is typically the users themselves who face legal liability. However, a significant ruling by the High Court of Australia in the Dylan Voller case in 2021 held that platforms hosting defamatory comments, such as social media pages, may also be held responsible for them.
