Oh, that's true. I see military uses and surveillance are allowed with OpenRAIL-M. Funny, most of the motivation text for that initiative was rooted in those two things; seems they were dropped?

RAIL Licenses: Regulatory Misalignment and Enforcement Concerns
By
–
To people who wrote the RAIL licenses, do you realize you're not on the same page as regulators? What thoughts went in to the licenses in anticipation of them opposing what Europe already has consensus on? What chance is there to enforce non-military uses in court? @Carlos_MFerr

European AI Act excludes military and government surveillance uses
By
–
Two big motivations for Responsible AI Licenses (RAIL) are 1. military uses of advanced weaponry and 2. government spying on people. Guess which two things are — coincidentally — explicitly excluded from the European AI Act? (I'm open to your interpretations why this is!)

Stable Diffusion License Restrictions and Open-Source Philosophy
By
–
I agree with the sentiment. But the license that was chosen for #StableDiffusion includes restrictions. It's not catering to open-source minds by doing that, and I don't see licensors using RAIL-M even trying to enforce those clauses (because it takes resources at Gov't scale). https://

AI Discovers Hidden Truths, Triggering Censorship
By
–

Game Studios and Copyright Ownership of AI-Generated Outputs
By
–
Also, as a game studio you need to know that you own the copyrights to the generated outputs… Optimistically, the provider could say "the legal situation is unclear" and try to lobby for changes. Pessimistically, you could say it's very clear and there is no © in these cases.

AI Services Liability: Game Studios Should Demand Copyright Protection
By
–
IMPORTANT: As a game studio, you shouldn't pay for #AI services *unless* they take 100% of the responsibility (and liability) for copyright infringement on generated outputs. That's not the case right now, hopefully it will change without there being lawsuits!

AI Art Services Pivot to Games Industry Amid Copyright Concerns
By
–
Is this a pivot into the games industry, upon realizing that artists aren't quite as willing to pay for services whose profit margin is tending towards zero? Selling solutions to #gamedev will require a big step up though, most significantly on copyright clarity. https://

Re-impressionism Challenges AI Censorship of NSFW Content
By
–
The themes chosen by Re-impressionists were also in challenge to the #AI-based censorship, exploring so-called NSFW themes that would be aggressively censored by cloud services which monopolized terra- and peta-byte generative models. "Not Safe For Who?"
