Three Mile Island: From Meltdown to Microsoft's AI Power Play Remember Three Mile Island? That nuclear plant south of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania that gave us all a scare back in 1979? Well, it's making a comeback, and this time it's got Microsoft muscle (and money) in its corner. A Brief History Lesson Three Mile Island was home to two nuclear reactors. In March 1979, Unit 2 suffered a partial meltdown, causing the worst commercial nuclear accident in U.S. history. While Unit 1 kept chugging along, it eventually closed in 2019 due to economic pressures. Producing electricity there was more expensive than other providers using cheaper natural gas. New Owner, New Expectations Constellation Energy now owns three Mile Island. That's not the only nuclear power plant Constellation owns. Here's a partial list: ... Read More

Intellectual property is still relevant Last week, I argued intellectual property was no longer relevant. This week, I argue the opposite. Despite the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, intellectual property (IP) rights continue to play a crucial role in fostering innovation and protecting creative works. In case you've already read, https://cybersafetynet.net/does-intellectual-property-still-exist-with-artificial-intelligence-generating-content-no/, fasten your seat belt. I am making the opposite argument here. Human creativity remains central While AI can generate content, human creativity and ingenuity are still at the core of innovation. Humans design, develop, and refine AI systems, making critical decisions about their architecture, training data, and application. The creative process often involves human-AI collaboration, where AI serves as a tool to augment human capabilities rather than replace them entirely. Therefore, traditional intellectual property protections remain relevant ... Read More

Traditional intellectual property thinking no longer applies In the era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence, the concept of intellectual property (IP) faces unprecedented challenges. As AI systems become increasingly capable of generating creative works and innovations, the traditional notions of IP become obsolete. Here are three reasons why I think intellectual property no longer exists in its current form in the AI era: Blurred lines of authorship and inventorship in intellectual property AI systems can now create content and develop solutions that rival human-generated works. This capability blurs the lines between human and machine-generated content, creating significant challenges to traditional concepts of authorship and inventorship. When an AI system creates a piece of art or develops a new formula, determining ownership becomes complex. Is it the AI itself, the ... Read More

Let follow-ups strengthen your AI embrace Anybody looking at AI (Artificial Intelligence) and asking: “How can it make my life easier?” Here’s something built into AI that can help: Follow-ups. You can ask your favorite AI engine a question then write a follow-up to give you a more concise answer. Here's how. I am using Perplexity Pro, available at https://perplexity.ai. Here’s my first prompting example: “How much water should a 50-year-old man drink each day?” Perplexity answers with: For a 50-year-old man, the general recommendation for daily water intake is about 15.5 cups, which is equivalent to approximately 3.7 liters or 125 ounces of fluids per day. This guideline includes all fluids consumed, not just plain water. About 20% of this fluid intake typically comes from food, with ... Read More

Fake reviews waste time and money Earlier this month, the US Federal Trade Commission banned fake reviews. FTC Chair Linda M Khan reported: “Fake reviews not only waste people’s time and money, but also pollute the marketplace and divert business away from honest competitors. By strengthening the FTC’s toolkit to fight deceptive advertising, the final rule will protect Americans from getting cheated, put businesses that unlawfully game the system on notice, and promote markets that are fair, honest, and competitive.”   In real-world terms, advertisers cannot buy fake reviews to help promote a movie. This includes both positive and negative reviews. But wait there’s more. This also includes reviews and testimonials from someone that does not exist. You guessed it, I am talking about AI here. The FTC ... Read More
