E4: Did Game Developer Palworld Steal Intellectual Property with AI? + Other News

Humanity Unchained

In breaking news, a new open-world game called Palworld launched in early access over this past week and sold four million copies in just three days - reaching a Steam concurrent player peak of over 1.2 million users overnight, giving it the highest concurrent player peak for a paid game (ever). However, serious allegations of AI usage and plagiarism claims have been directed at Palworld. In today's episode, we discuss a critical topic: intellectual rights and authorship around AI-generated content, how that affects creators, writers, and communicators, and how institutions and legislation will respond to try to stay a step ahead. Also covered: OpenAI bans long-shot presidential candidate bot for breaking T&Cs, BrightEdge's study of a billion queries across nine industries and how healthcare is most impacted by SGE, Pentagon testing tomorrow’s AI-powered swarm drone ships, chatbots gone rogue, and more. Finally, throughout this episode Julia shares an innovative way to mention a sponsor: a "sarcastic sponsor read," 100% written by AI. It's awkwardly full of hilarity and ridiculousness. Enjoy the experience that awaits.For the show notes, visit https://contentatscale.ai/podcast/
