Americans Support Regulations on AI Data Training Practices

An AIPI poll found that a majority of Americans support regulations on AI companies' data training practices. The survey of 1,039 people revealed that 60% believe AI companies should not have unrestricted access to public data for training their products, and nearly three-quarters agreed that companies should compensate data creators. The poll also showed that 78% of respondents think regulations are needed for using public data to train AI models. The survey results reflect a growing recognition of the need for regulation in this area due to the rise of generative AI. The poll also explored the demographic breakdown, personal attitudes towards AI, and the relationship between education and attitudes. In related news, concerns have been raised about the overlap between AI developments in the US and China. China has introduced methods to prevent pre-trained models from being used for inappropriate tasks, but the definition of appropriateness may vary between countries. Microsoft's AI ambitions are also under scrutiny from global regulators who are concerned about the concentration of power and may investigate AI --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message
