This article seems like a pretty dishonest summary of a legal advisory that begins by saying:
> AI systems are at the forefront of the technology industry, and hold great potential to achieve scientific breakthroughs, boost economic growth, and benefit consumers. As home to the world’s leading technology companies and many of the most compelling recent developments in AI, California has a vested interest in the development and growth of AI tools. The AGO encourages the responsible use of AI in ways that are safe, ethical, and consistent with human dignity to help solve urgent challenges, increase efficiencies, and unlock access to information—consistent with state and federal law.
It's impossible to understand this as a statement that AI companies are a "legal clusterfuck" or "may be entirely based around criminal activity".
- tssva 2y agoThe actual warning seems to be not to do things with AI that are also illegal without AI. Don’t create illegal fake content, don’t make false claims regarding the accuracy of your AI and don’t produce AI systems which are discriminatory against a protected class.
- kalkin 2y agoSeriously. I did not realize Gizmodo was at that point with opportunistic clickbait, but apparently it is. edit to expand: from the headline I thought this was going to be Bonta coming out against the argument that AI training is fair use, which really would at least arguably apply to "almost everything" the companies make. But no, he's just saying not to do things that AFAICT they already all ban in TOS.
