Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNETWith AI, one can now produce thousands of high-quality illustrations and videos. But that is only part of the story.Last August, a group of artists took AI imaging tools providers to court, which ruled against Stability AI and MidJourney’s motion to dismiss the artists’ copyright infringement claims. The case has moved to discovery and is set to begin in September 2026. Also: Can AI supercharge creativity without stealing from artists?”In reaching this decision, the judge found both direct and induced copyright infringement claims to be plausible,” explains Zach Schor in the NYU Journal of Intellectual Property…

One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…

Last month, Vladimir Putin gifted Donald Trump a portrait of the US president. Trump’s Ukraine and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff delivered it to the White House after returning from Moscow, where he had met Putin to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.The painting has only just been publicly revealed, though, with CNN given an exclusive look. It shows a fist-pumping Trump with blood streaming from his right ear in the immediate aftermath of his assassination attempt in Pennsylvania in July. The Republican president looks heroic – and a few pounds lighter.Wintkoff reportedly said Trump was “touched” by what he called…

Meta Platforms Inc. has teamed up with Booz Allen Holding Corp., a U.S. government contractor, to develop an artificial intelligence system for the International Space Station. The companies detailed the project today. Space Llama, as the AI system is called, is based on a fine-tuned version of Meta’s Llama 3.2 language model series. It’s designed to support science projects in the ISS National Laboratory, a research lab located aboard the station. Certain types of materials are easier to mix in low-gravity conditions. As a result, astronauts use the ISS National Laboratory to study material combinations that would be difficult to…

ChatGPT went viral in late 2022, changing the tech world. Generative AI became the top priority for every tech company, and that’s how we ended up with “smart” fridges with built-in AI. Artificial intelligence is being built into everything, sometimes for the hype alone, with products like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini having come a long way since late 2022.As soon as it became clear that genAI would reshape technology, likely leading to advanced AI systems that can do everything humans can do but better and faster, we started seeing worries that AI would negatively impact society and doom scenarios where…

AhlulBayt News Agency: Employees at Google DeepMind’s London office have launched efforts to unionize, driven by concerns over the company’s decision to provide artificial intelligence (AI) technology to defense entities and maintain ties with the Israeli regime. According to PressTV, recent reports indicate that around 300 DeepMind workers have sought membership with the Communication Workers Union in the past few weeks. DeepMind employees initiated this move following Google’s revision of its AI Principles, which removed a key clause prohibiting the development of AI technologies that could “cause or are likely to cause overall harm,” particularly in weapons and surveillance systems violating…
