地点: Virtual

Date: February 28, 2023

Timetable:

China Standard Time (UTC+8) Central European Time (UTC+1) Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) Item Speaker
21:00 – 21:05 14:00 – 14:05 08:00 – 08:05 Opening Rui Guo, Renmin University of China
Session 1: Big Models and Intellectual Property
21:05 – 21:25 14:05 – 14:25 08:05 – 08:25 Keynote: AI/algorithmic transparency: a new role in the copyright ecosystem?
[slides (opens in new tab), video (opens in new tab)]

Abstract: The presentation will discuss selected copyright implications of AI-generated content (such as that by ChatGPT) and focus on the issue of transparency. Currently AI-generated content generally cannot qualify for copyright protection, but it may be difficult to identify the human and/or AI source of digital content. An obligation of disclosure could help create transparency, which is what will be discussed in the presentation.

21:25 – 22:35 14:25 – 15:35 08:25 – 09:35 Panel Discussion: Big Models and Intellectual Property

Abstract: This panel focuses on the complex relationship between big models and intellectual property. It aims to explore the legal and ethical issues that arise from the use of AI-generated content for commercial and academic purposes. The panel will also discuss the copyright implications of training large models and how it affects the rights of the content authors.

Session 2: Big Models and Privacy
22:35 – 22:55 15:35 – 15:55 09:35 – 09:55 Keynote: Generative models have the memory of an elephant
[slides (opens in new tab), video (opens in new tab)]

Abstract: Modern generative models seem to generalize extremely well! At the same time, we find that they are capable of *memorizing* large amounts of training data. I will describe some of the challenges in defining and measuring memorization in machine learning, and showcase substantial data memorization in state-of-the-art models for language generation, code completion, and even image generation! We’ll discuss some of the implications that such large memorization capabilities have for data privacy, copyright protection, and more.

22:55 – 00:05+1 15:55 – 17:05 09:55 – 11:05 Panel Discussion: Big Models and Privacy

Abstract: This panel delves into the crucial issue of protecting user privacy and enterprise content when using big models. It will examine the challenges of safeguarding sensitive information and original training data when using AI models. Additionally, the panel will discuss the significant role of privacy protection in the development of big models and its impact on the availability of high-quality training data in the long term.

Session 3: Big Models and Technology Misuse
00:05+1 – 01:35+1 17:05 – 18:35 11:05 – 12:35 Panel Discussion: Big Models and Technology Misuse

Abstract: The panel will explore the potential misuse of big models by humans and the pressing need to regulate its use. The discussion will focus on preventing the spread of misinformation, social polarization, and social injustice. The panelists will address the ethical and moral considerations in ensuring the responsible use of big models and minimizing their negative impact on society.
