Learning Bytes 🧐
- President Biden issued a Presidential Executive Order on Secure, Reliable and Confidential AI to balance national security with consumer rights – creating some of the first international protections that could be bolstered by global legislation.

- Microsoft researchers have published a paper on code diffusion models, in which they report the training parameters of GPT-3.5-turbo to be at 20B . We don’t know if it is a leak, a typo or a deliberate announcement, but the paper was withdrawn for a few hours.
- The G7 countries agreed on a code of conduct to be followed by AI companies.
- Three artists in the US have legally sued AI art generators for using copyrighted images without permission to train AI models. However, Federal Judge dismissed most of the claims against Midjourney and DeviantArt, calling them “problematic in many aspects”.
The central issues have to do with whether the AI systems store copies of copyrighted images and whether their creators can claim infringement if no identical material was produced by the AI tools.
