🤖 Industry updates

• Open AI Supports Watermarking → In an effort to counter the increasingly high-quality AI generated images, Open AI, the creators of DALL-E and ChatGPT support a California bill that would require a watermark for generative AI content.

• UK Gov to publish AI Tools → The article addresses concerns about AI tools used on the UK public, highlighting fears of bias and racism. It discusses efforts to establish a register to monitor and mitigate these issues, aiming to ensure AI systems are fair and transparent. Despite these measures, there remains significant public anxiety over the potential for AI to perpetuate discriminatory practices.
