Jacob Ward is guest-hosting this week, and Amanda Silberling joins Jacob for the first half of the show! Amazon is using Twitch streamers to train its generative AI models. The EU’s Transparency Code now requires tech companies to label AI-generated content. The Bay Area’s AI wealth isn’t affecting all cities. And security experts express concerns following an OpenAI model’s hack on Hugging Face.
• Twitch is beginning to use creators’ content on the platform to help train generative AI models for its parent company, Amazon. Even though streamers can opt out of having their content used, it’s still sparking backlash from the community over deepfake concerns.
• The EU’s Transparency Code is quietly pushing tech companies to label AI-generated content, with Jacob Ward drawing a parallel to how regulators once mandated adding a smell to odorless natural gas to make leaks detectable.
• Reporter Adam Rogers joins the show to discuss why Bay Area AI wealth isn’t translating into the civic investment, jobs, or economic ripple effects seen in past tech booms
• And reporter Sharon Goldman from Ground Level AI stops by to share reactions from security experts about the OpenAI agent that breached Hugging Face during her recent trip to the Black Hat security conference.
