OpenAI, Spotify, and FTC Make Moves in AI Regulation
OpenAI and Spotify have made significant moves in AI regulation and transparency. OpenAI's video tool, Sora, will require copyright holders to opt out of AI usage. Meanwhile, Spotify is cracking down on unauthorised AI-generated vocal deepfakes. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has also played a role, approving Omnicom's acquisition of Interpublic Group with certain conditions.
OpenAI's Sora will respect copyright holders' rights by requiring them to opt out of AI generation. This shift comes as AI tools become more prevalent. The FTC, overseeing the acquisition of Interpublic Group by Omnicom, has imposed conditions. These include ensuring ad dollars aren't denied to publishers based on political or ideological views, unless directed by a client, and appointing a compliance monitor to ensure the acquisition's US-only application.
Spotify, in a bid to increase transparency, is implementing AI disclosures in music credits. This move aims to inform listeners about AI usage in the creation process. The platform is also enforcing stricter rules against AI-generated vocal deepfakes and impersonation, requiring explicit authorisation.
OpenAI's Sora is set to respect copyright holders' rights, while the FTC ensures fair practices in the Omnicom-Interpublic Group acquisition. Spotify, on the other hand, is boosting transparency and protecting artists' rights with its AI disclosure and enforcement policies.
