📊OpenAI’s New “SWE-Lancer” Benchmark

OpenAI just introduced “SWE-Lancer,” a new benchmark that consists of over 1,400 freelance coding jobs from Upwork.

Key Details:

• Upwork helps you find, hire, and pay skilled freelancers tailored to your needs. For example, you can hire a data scientist to analyze your sales data.

• “SWE-Lancer” includes over $1,000,000 in real-world coding jobs from Upwork, ranging from $50 Bug Fixes to $32,000 Feature Implementations.

• This new benchmark uses End-to-End (E2E) Testing to check if an advanced AI model’s Bug Fixes or Feature Implementations work.

Why It’s Important:

• “SWE-Lancer” accurately and realistically assesses how advanced AI models perform in real-world coding jobs.

• By linking AI’s performance to actual monetary value, “SWE-Lancer” provides a clear understanding of the potential economic impact of AI.

AI AND THE LAW

🏛️The Federal Court’s First Major AI Copyright Decision

The U.S. District Court of Delaware (“D. Del”) issued the first major decision concerning the use of copyrighted material to train AI-powered tools.

Key Details:

• Thomson Reuters, the owner of Westlaw, sued ROSS Intelligence for training their AI-powered Legal Research Tool using Westlaw’s Headnotes: summaries of the legal points in a court case.

• They ruled it was Copyright Infringement and didn’t fall under Fair Use through Transformative Use: adding new expression, meaning, or messaging to the original work.

• More importantly, they noted that the AI-powered Legal Research Tool “spit back relevant judicial opinions that were already written” and wasn’t Generative AI (GenAI), which creates new content.

Why It’s Important:

• This decision forms a legal distinction between AI and GenAI, suggesting that Fair Use rulings will differ for GenAI.

• This legal distinction is a big deal! Now, defendants in other AI-related copyright lawsuits can rely on this ruling to argue their GenAI tools should be evaluated differently than AI tools.

AI IN THE ARMY

🪖U.S. Tech Giants Quietly Supplied Israel’s Army With AI

According to the Associated Press (“AP News”), U.S. Tech Giants like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Amazon have quietly been supplying Israel’s Army with AI to streamline the process of tracking, identifying, and attacking the Islamic militant group Hamas. For instance, AI is being used to analyze surveillance footage of the Gaza Strip and intercept the communication channels of Hamas to identify potential targets for airstrikes.

“This is the first confirmation we’ve gotten that Commercial AI is being used in warfare,” said Heidy Khlaaf, Chief AI Scientist at the AI Now Institute and former Safety Engineer at OpenAI.
