🗞️ Microsoft-backed research exposes flaws in ChatGPT

A new paper published by Microsoft-backed researchers reveals that OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model can be tricked into releasing biased results and leaking private information.
The details:
OpenAI’s flagship AI model has gotten more trustworthy, but is also more vulnerable to jailbreaking and bias.
Researchers bypassed GPT-4’s safeguards and got the model to ignore security measures and leak personal information and conversation histories.
The team says GPT-4 “follows misleading information more precisely” and is more likely to carry out every detail of complicated prompts.
Vulnerabilities were not found in consumer-facing GPT-4-based products.
The team includes researchers from the Univerisity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, Center for AI Safety and Microsoft Research.
The bottom line: Even top-of-the-line AI models are prone to a plethora of security risks. This is bad news for OpenAI as the FTC continues to investigate the company for potential consumer harm.

SPOTLIGHT
📸 Ghostwriter offers solution for AI-generated music

Anonymous AI creator Ghostwriter proposed a clearinghouse system for artists to license their voices during an interview with Bloomberg.
What you need to know:
Ghostwriter rose to fame with a viral song featuring cloned voices of Drake and The Weeknd. He has since released another AI-generated song using the voices of Travis Scott and 21 Savage.
He says the industry should set up a clearinghouse where artists and labels set their own terms for licensing their voices to AI projects.
Terms could include monetary splits and usage restrictions (no political speech, hate speech, etc.).
Ghostwriter compared AI technology to music sampling by early hip-hop artists, which has gradually been accepted over time.
Why it matters: Ghostwriter’s model is similar to the one proposed by the AI-friendly artist Grimes. While this solution is promising, the three major labels that control more than two-thirds of the music industry are unlikely to embrace disruptive AI technology. Still, a future where artists’ voice clones can earn profits seems plausible.
