Perplexity is being made a Scapegoat


The AI craze is still on and a lot of companies are rushing to market with half-baked products, with the hope they would complete whatever remains to be completed by using logic to fill their systems with content. Filling their models with the right content is important to meeting the queries of users of their models and if done the right way, can help them stand out.

Using someone's content with their consent or permission is a crime and a lot of companies from America, Sillicon Valley to be precise, are known for using people's content with their permission and, if found, and asked to pay damages or compensation, they deny it and look for ways to avoid making payment.


I read on the Financial Times this morning that AI company Perplexity Ai is being sued in Japan by Japanese companies Nikkei and Asahi Shimbum over copy right infringement and are asking  for $15 million each in damages, and this news is circulating around the internet and bringing up questions as to who retains or holds the right of a content used by an Artificial Intelligence company.

I, for, one believe in the power of the media and the role this technology is playing in the media world and the impact it is having on our lives.

I don't recall ever giving anyone permission to use my content on AI system or model and if my content has been used on AI model to train or make it perform better then that Ai company should know they acted without my permission and I am going to file a lawsuit should I discover, or someone else discovers that my content has been or is being used to train an AI model.

The Simple But Dreaded Interview Question Answered

Image
A lot of recruiters and employers dread interviewing candidates, especially candidates from institutions of higher learning ( Universities) as they pose a threat to their intelligence, due to their level of participation in topics considered too verse or too deep for such individual sitting or standing before them. The interviewers themselves, are not all equipped with the knowledge to answer the questions they ask some candidates and so, rely on outside sources to keep them abreast of the right answers to some certain questions. This is ridiculous, especially to recruiters from Human Resources Agencies and other bodies deemed to be well verse in handling such interviews. One of the questions some interviewers ask are complex and requires one to spend some time analysing it and finding the right answers but, as job interview demands, a candidate don't have the time to assess or gauge their response in a time or period they desire. The question, ' Why should we Hire you?...

This investment is a significant investment and it will play a prominent role in how chips are made for storing Data and other devices for safe keeping of information, while at the same time guaranteeing their investment in other infrastructures. AI will pay a pivotal role in how mankind interact with technology and how technology pushes man to destroying itself and, ending global civilization; fostering hatred as we are going to see a boom in the lay-off of individuals, who can't keep up or do the quality of jobs AI assistants or Agents ...

Is this this way to use AI?

Image
Image Credit: Netizen AI is a wonderful technology that allows us to complete tasks in such a time;even at the speed of light.  But my fear is, it will change a lot of things and that includes the job markets. A lot of employees will find themselves in the job markets if we don't put measures in place to comb the sharp practices of some business individuals. Yes, employers, managers, etc. will be dancing to their favourites songs as a result of the adoption of AI in their businesses. Tasks, projects will carried and completed in such a short time but what happens to the thousands, hundreds, and even millions of workers who will leave their jobs, not because they are not good at it but because, their manager or owner of the company they work at considers them too slow to complete a task. This is absurd. Why are we so impatient these days? An employee does a task well but may not do it so well at the quality an AI assistant or agent would do it. For example, an MD or CEO of a compa...
