Andy Warhol and AI

PLUS: Adobe's watermark, AI radio, and Harvey gets funding

April 27, 2023

Hey folks, today we’ve got law and media mixed up in the AI world, an old non-AI case, funding in legal AI, AI-generated music radio, and watermarking AI images.

Let’s get to it.

From our sponsor:

Considering integrating an LLM like GPT-4 into a project?

It seems like a new LLM API launches every other day. But how do you know which is the best fit for your use case?

With different parameter counts, datasets, and cost structures, how do you choose? Is bigger always better? What are the benefits of specialized models? How does model size affect latency?

🤌 Our Picks

Highlights if you've only got 2 minutes

1/

If you thought it was impossible for Andy Warhol to get involved with AI after passing away 26 years ago you’d be very wrong. The US Copyright Office is coming up with a decision about whether his Prince pieces are “transformative” enough to claim them without reference to the original photographer. Why is that relevant to AI? Well, the legal decision could have huge ramifications for how copyright arguments pan out regarding AI-generated art going forward. It’ll implicitly address big questions like “At what point should AI art be possible to copyright, if at all?”

2/

One of the biggest VCs has just led the Series A funding round for one of the hottest GOD DAMN generative AI start-ups in the biz. Harvey, the legal AI start-up (if you didn’t catch on, there’s the GOD DAMN reference for you), has now got formal backing from Sequoia. They’ll be helping them drive forward with everything legal AI, from custom models to data segregation, to security and compliance. Time to unlock LLMs in Law.

3/

We’ve been piping up a lot lately with the hype going on in the music industry after the Fake Drake song and Grimes opening herself up to AI. If you’ve been keenly following, you’ll enjoy this pick: an AI radio on Soundcloud with purely AI-generated songs - and they actually sound so damn real! This is my first real foray into AI music and I’m impressed. One curious thing though: so far it’s all seemed to be used to create that modern hip-hop auto-tuned style music (not the good old school stuff…). Is that a reflection of current trends or the restricted ability of AI?

4/

We started the picks on the topic of generative images and art, so let’s finish on it. (Not sure of my logic there, but just gonna proceed anyways…) Adobe have previously spearheaded a Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) for photos and images, and they’re planning to use it to roll-out plans to watermark AI-generated content. This way, the cat-and-mouse battle of identifying the stuff would be solved. One big problem: it’ll require people to actually sign up to the initiative to use it, but given Adobe’s presence in the creative market, maybe they’re the team to do it.
