“[I]t’s the obligation of generative AI companies to understand the models they are deploying so that they can be used in contexts where they don’t create unintended harm or perpetuate inequality.” – Ben Leiner, SmartNews https://lnkd.in/e-eTDwBg University of Virginia Darden School of Business

We fully agree with Courtney Radsch, PhD of Open Markets Institute about protecting news publishers: “[W]hen smaller, less powerful or poorer actors take something that is not theirs, it’s called ‘theft.’ “But when large, powerful corporations like Big Tech do it, it’s called ‘innovation.’” https://lnkd.in/gw2i2_mW

Stealing content in the name of innovation is still theft. SmartNews believes in the three C's for supporting news publishers: Consent, Credit and Compensation. https://lnkd.in/gvb7iRbi The Shortcut

“Tech and AI companies face significant consumer skepticism. News is a critically important area for Americans and they are extremely wary of AI 'hallucinations’ and AI-enabled misinformation campaigns. "The takeaway is clear: to earn the trust of Americans, tech companies using AI need to work with high-quality publishers to ensure the AI news content they produce is accurate and authentic. Otherwise, they risk further eroding readers’ trust in the news and destabilizing the information ecosystem.” – Ben Leiner, SmartNews https://lnkd.in/g2N88Siz

Everyone at SmartNews is extremely proud of the new book by Gwendolyn (Wendy) Bounds, our VP of Content and U.S. Media Partnerships. A must-read.
What is one thing you love that you aren’t doing? How can you make room for it in an already full life? What are the obstacles you’ll face, and how do you overcome them? Answering these questions is at the heart of my new book NOT TOO LATE – which is released today! (https://shorturl.at/VnEfP) A huge thank your to everyone who has already supported the ideas in its pages with your pre-orders and notes here. I look forward to hearing what you think.
