As the race continues to have the "best" AI, many companies are using the tools you use every day to be included in training their artificial intelligence models or for third-party use. Just a few weeks ago, Zoom got in hot water for adding (and later removing) the policy that Zoom can use the data for AI training.
Meta (Facebook, Instagram) also updated its policy and added an "opt-out" (removal) option if you do not want to share your data to build towards generative AI models.
You can access the form from their website here:

Excited for the opening event at #alaac23 -- come meet some new friends in the Tech Test Pilot area (booth 1641) -- everything from Memory Care, to AR/VR, to cute robots. Lots of opportunities to win free tech for your library or play with them here at ALA!

@Techie_Lib starts off by reminding us that augmented reality has been around for a while.
That #AR can engage users + add information.

Something wild is happening on the Midjourney subreddit.
People are telling stories and sharing photos of historic events - like the “Great Cascadia” earthquake that devastated Oregon in 2001.
The kicker? It never happened. The images are AI-generated.

In June my library was told that Wiley would be removing 1,379 ebooks from our subscription packages. Because many of these books were heavily used, we looked into purchasing them with perpetual access but were told they were considered textbooks. #librarians 1/2

This discussion between a Google engineer and their conversational AI model helped cause the engineer to believe the AI is becoming sentient, kick up an internal shitstorm and get suspended from his job. And it is absolutely insane. washingtonpost.com/technolog… – at Brooklyn, NY
