• "Artificial Intelligence is not only responsible for worrying amounts of earth-warming greenhouse gases: the technology's environmental footprint is also expanding at a pace that could strain the planet’s natural resources." (United Nations) (Yale)

• Most models can freely plagiarize if copyrighted content is contained in their training datasets. Artwork and other media protected by intellectual property laws may be unwittingly scraped by AI without the consent of its creators. (Good Law) (Medium)

  • "If you post or interact with chatbots on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, or WhatsApp, Meta can use your data to train its generative AI models beginning June 26, according to its recently updated privacy policy." (MIT)

• The US Supreme Court declined to hear a case about AI copyright, upholding the lower court decision that copyright requires a human creator. (Mayer Brown)

​​

• "The sycophantic (flattering, people-pleasing, affirming) behavior of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, which has been designed to increase user engagement, poses risks as people increasingly seek advice about interpersonal dilemmas." (Science)

​​

• We are already witnessing cognitive atrophy, loss of brain plasticity, and reduced creativity in regular AI users. "While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning." (MIT)

• AI perpetuates and exacerbates biases present in its training data. "Despite advancements in AI, new research reveals that large language models continue to perpetuate harmful racial biases, particularly against speakers of African American English."  (Stanford)
