Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is an exploding area within the field of artificial intelligence. GAI technology includes large, trained machine learning models that can generate a variety of content such as text, abstract or fantastical art, photorealistic images, music, videos, and computer source code. Typically, these systems work by accepting input from a user (a “prompt”) and generating some text, image, or other data (an “output”) for the user.
GAI holds tremendous promise for innovation and creativity across a wide range of industries. However, realizing this potential requires careful attention to the ethical and regulatory implications of these technologies. JMP Legal is currently working on JMP-specific AI guidelines. At this time, JMP employees should abide by SAS' Generative Artificial Intelligence Policy.
"While Generative AI, including large language models like ChatGPT, can be powerful tools for both individuals and companies, the rapid growth of Generative AI has led to an increasing focus on how best to regulate it," Sheila Spence (@SheilaSpence) said. "As more AI regulations begin to emerge, JMP Legal will monitor how data is used in AI models and how the law applies to the output of those models. Employees should continue to follow SAS’ Generative Artificial Intelligence Policy to minimize any legal risks to the company such as regulatory and IP risks as well as risks of leakage of confidential or personal information.”
