Adobe Unveils Content Authenticity to Protect Creators; Zoom Introduces AI Companion 2.0 for Enhanced Workflows
October 9, 2024
This launch comes at a time when legal disputes regarding AI data usage are increasing, exemplified by The New York Times suing OpenAI.
In a separate development, Zoom has introduced AI Companion 2.0, which integrates with Zoom Workplace to enhance user experience through contextual understanding and real-time web lookups.
Customization options in Zoom's AI tools will enable businesses to train the AI on their specific data, creating tailored meeting agendas and action items.
Zoom also plans to offer a Custom AI Add-on for $12 per user per month, allowing users to personalize their AI experience further.
Zoom has committed to implementing security measures to prevent misuse of its AI technology.
These advancements in AI technology are set to significantly impact remote business operations, especially in sectors where effective time management is crucial.
Adobe has launched a new web app called Content Authenticity, aimed at protecting the rights of content creators.
This free service allows creators to attach Content Credentials to their work, which indicate authorship and preferences regarding the use of their content in AI training.
Content Credentials will provide users with detailed creation information about images, functioning similarly to a nutrition label for food products.
Claire Leibowicz from the Partnership on AI noted that this initiative encourages a cultural conversation about creator rights, although the effectiveness of 'Do not train' signals remains uncertain.
The initiative responds to the growing concern over AI systems utilizing large datasets that may include unauthorized work.
Adobe is collaborating with major players in the AI industry to promote widespread adoption of this protective measure for artists.
