France has fined Google 271 million euros for not negotiating fair deals with media outlets and using their content to train AI technologies without proper agreements. This issue is part of a broader discussion on whether AI models necessarily require copyrighted material for training, as suggested by companies like Open AI. However, a group backed by the French government has released a public domain text-based dataset, proposing an alternative way to train AI without infringing on copyrights. Additionally, the UN General Assembly is voting on a resolution to ensure the equitable global development of AI technology. Meanwhile, Ubisoft has developed an experimental AI Avatar for real-time interaction, and an Uber Eats delivery worker rewrote the app’s code to correct persistent payment errors.
