A look at the Deloitte AI report and an EU perspective on evolving GenAI laws.
The Deloitte report:
Deloitte takes a fascinating look at GenAI with Deloitte’s State of Generative AI in the Enterprise Quarter four report. With the rapid advancement of AI technologies, they contend that “many now believe that Moore’s Law is effectively dead.” GenAI is the new reality and not going away. Deloitte discusses three recurring stages as organizations use GenAI: experimentation, deployment, and then scaling. (pg7) They observe that “accessing the right data proved to be the biggest bottleneck,” while being a central factor for GenAI success (pg11). That is probably as true for the Bible translation world as it is in the largest of companies. They also contend that it “will take at least five years to validate and substantiate the KPIs (key performance indicator) fully.” A key question they ask – “Will organizations have the patience and sustained commitment to work through their GenAI challenges, or will they cut and run before their investments have a chance to pay off?”(pg26)
The report is easy to read, full of charts and a good look at GenAI in corporate America.
Simon Portman:
Simon is a lawyer at the U.K. firm Marks&Clark, advising Nordic clients, particularly in Finland and Norway. He recently authored an article titled “AI generated copyright and the evolving regulatory framework”, giving perspectives on the current developments in E.U. law. He emphasizes that understanding the differences between the E.U. and the U.S. approaches is crucial for conducting business in both and offers insights on the upcoming European AI Act. This law would require developers “to disclose in detail in a publicly available manner when they have trained their LLMs . . . on third party content.” Hmm… that certainly has ramifications for Gateway language projects utilizing GenAI. He acknowledges the challenges everyone faces in this field, noting that the E.U. Act “looks set to be rapidly outstripped by the exponential evolution in machine-learning capability.” The challenges and conflicts of copyright law and GenAI will not be resolved anytime soon. And as the Deloitte report underscores, the major players are not waiting for that to happen.
Blessings, and have a great weekend!
