If voice cloning violates right of publicity when sound recordings are fed into a model directly, does hiring a voice actor to imitate a voice and then feeding the imitated voice into a model violates right of publicity as well?
How the upcoming AI legislations around the world, like voice cloning prevention and disclosure requeriment of techincal details of models, will affect open source or selfhosted models?
@spit_evil_olive_tips One example is the EU AI Act. Their requeriments for open source models are very lenient, only requiring summary of training data and disclosure of training details like the computational power used. But proprietary models, on the other hand, are required to implement content filtering etc.
Why are most machine learning models (not frameworks) written in Python? Even through almost any programming language can be used for machine learning?
If GPT (decoder-only transformer) models are text predictors, then why keyboard apps on PCs/phones don't have GPTs as text predictor options? They can be more accurate than the widely used N-gram models.
