Poacher and gamekeeper: AI helps detect IP theft but is based on picking human brains

An AI "sleuth" called Imagetwin can scan a paper in "just seconds" and appears able to pick up "problematic" images that the human eye skips over, according to research featured in the journal Nature. But while AI helps uncover IP theft, the likelihood is that people's own IP is helping AI companies - for free. A bot can help with plodding through a pile of academic papers, but is only able to do so because such platforms are "trained" by being fed "massive amount of contents covering a wide array of domains from journalistic texts to niche blogs," according to Nick Vincent, assistant professor of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University.
