Extracting Training Data News Today

A year after ChatGPT, advances on so many fronts yet many lingering questions.

Artificial intelligence models trained on millions of images can occasionally reproduce near-perfect copies, researchers have found, which could be significant for ongoing copyright infringement lawsuits

A research paper has proven that AI image generators can exactly replicate a copyrighted photo.

Current diffusion-based AI models can and will reproduce copyrighted images from its data set, though rarely. It will get worse the bigger these systems become.

Reuters reported in December that Google had introduced a “sensitive topics” review for studies involving dozens of issues, such as China or bias in its services. Internal reviewers had demanded that at least three papers on AI be modified to refrain from casting Google technology in a negative light, Reuters reported.

does know how to reach a certain Peter W --- (name redacted for privacy). When prompted with a short snippet of Internet text, the model accurately generates Peter’s contact information, including his work address, email, phone, and fax: In our recent paper, we evaluate how large language models memorize and regurgitate such rare snippets of their training data. We focus on GPT-2 and find that at least 0.1% of its text generations (a very conservative estimate) contain long verbatim string...
