YouTube's Content ID evolution: From copyright guardian to protector against AI-generated ripoff songs

YouTube's Content ID, a tool developed 16 years ago to identify copyrighted music in user-uploaded videos, is taking on a new mission: detecting AI-generated songs. The move reflects the evolving landscape since Content ID's inception, with YouTube now aiming to protect against potential copyright infringement in AI-composed music. While embracing AI's creative potential, YouTube also seeks to safeguard artists' works through collaborations with labels and continued development of Content ID.

Nvidia's focus beyond 'AI' buzz

Investors are shifting from counting how often the term "AI" is uttered during conference calls, as the trend becomes monotonous. Nvidia, a prominent player in AI technology, has investors intrigued about its clients. Instead of tracking AI mentions, a novel approach focuses on the frequency of company names mentioned in Nvidia's recent call. This method reveals that VMware, soon to be acquired by Broadcom, snagged the spotlight with 15 references. Other tech giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google had notably fewer mentions, sparking interest in the pecking order of Nvidia's preferred partners in the competitive realm of AI hardware. 🔗Read more

Unlocking profits: AI revolution's potential winners and losers in the global economy

Goldman Sachs, a big financial company, believes that AI could increase company profits by nearly 20% by taking over some human jobs. Some experts think AI will bring a huge boost to the economy and stock prices, while others worry it might be a bubble.

In the long term, AI could help companies cut down on workers and save money, increasing earnings. Big companies are investing a lot in AI despite some concerns. Overall, AI might have a big impact on the economy and businesses in the future. 🔗Read more

AI chatbots help web content farms copy work from top publishers, report says
