Great article by the ABC's Jack Ryan talking about #generativeAI and its #copyright consequences - especially how the existing #law has failed to keep pace with #EmergingTech

ChatGPT and other AI models were trained on copyrighted books. Can they be 'untrained'?

Training AI models on copyrighted materials has led to an array of high-profile lawsuits against developers such as OpenAI and Meta. Can the models be "untrained" or is the genie out of the bottle?

A couple of days ago (yesterday?) I asked folks on here for guidance to scholars or researchers looking at alternative governance built on or around data and digital systems - from trusts to DAOs to whatevers. Grateful to those who pointed me to two, which I share here. From Mozilla - https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/data-futures-lab/data-for-empowerment/who-is-innovating-database-of-initiatives/

and from ODI - https://airtable.com/shrcAnkPGmlzW3YgD/tblptl5NonXJHsPOc/viwdfMis8J0Z4v6uU

Does anyone know of a #scholar or #researcher tracking #datatrusts? Anyone running a list or creating a typology of #trusts in existence?

Thanks in advance

are there any researchers out there interested in working on a project with me to understand how new approaches to data stewardship (incl. #datatrusts) can help tackle climate issues? can be based anywhere, but need to be available between Sep/Oct and Mar 2022. DM me!

💡 Food Data Trust

🚛 Food supply chains can be revolutionised by better data sharing.

🍎 A new report from @[email protected] examines how trust frameworks – inspired by the AI Review and AI Sector Deal's 'data trusts' – can make this work.

Food Data Trust: A framework for information sharing

This work examines the role of information sharing in ensuring safe food production supply networks. It proposes a data trust framework that will more efficiently enable secure information sharing for the benefit of all stakeholders in the food system.

We need data trusts to help manage our data

We can’t expect people to navigate the confusing world of data collection on their own. It’s time to join forces.

Data Trusts

Ein Data Trust ist ein Treuhandverhältnis, in dem eine Partei einem Datentreuhänder das Recht einräumt, Daten oder Datenrechte in ihrem Namen zu halten und Entscheidungen darüber zu treffen.
