Politicians Call For Change After Taylor Swift AI Controversy
296Whether you love her, you hate her, you’re indifferent to her, it is undeniable that Taylor Swift is at the center of just numerous stories right now, some that even matter. Arguably, one of the biggest of those stories is what’s happening on X. You literally, as I am recording this video, cannot search up Taylor Swift. You get an error. And that’s because of the Taylor Swift A.I. p*** stuff that we talked about last time. The platform telling the Wall Street Journal that, “This is a temporary action and done with an abundance of caution as we prioritize safety on this issue.” Though notably, because this is the Internet and we’re talking about X, which doesn’t necessarily fully think things out, there are really easy ways to get around that and you still find those results. But the Taylor Swift A.I. situation got so big that even The White House chimed in, saying there should be legislation tasked with combatting nonconsensual explicit AI. And that’s been echoed by a handful of members of Congress. Also, after 404 Media reported that the images were potentially made with Microsoft’s AI tools, the CEO of the company responded, saying it needs to move fast on this issue, that guardrails need to be further established.
