Artificial intelligence applications have become beneficial for various creators such as painters, photographers, scientists, and writers. However, they can also be harmful at the same time, as they can enhance the protection and violation of intellectual property rights of these creators through their usage.
Experiments conducted by the British biologist, Shulto David, revealed that artificial intelligence can be twice or three times faster than humans in detecting or processing manipulated images in research papers.
The “ImageTwin” application can examine any document and within a few minutes, it can detect any “controversial” image that may catch people’s attention and be displayed to them, according to David’s experiments published in the scientific journal Nature.
David stated that he spent most of the previous months examining hundreds of research papers to detect if they contain any “duplicate images.”
During the experiment, artificial intelligence was used by the researcher to examine the documents, where all research papers containing scientific plagiarism were discovered, totaling in 63 papers, as well as the presence of over 40 additional papers that “raise suspicion”.
However, when it comes to analyzing academic papers, smart applications can be useful thanks to their ability to perform this task due to their training on a huge amount of scientific content taken from various sources, according to Nick Vincent, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Simon Fraser University.
Vincent explained in an article published in the Atomic Sciences Journal that “producers of this content used to train artificial intelligence applications have not received any financial compensation and have not even been asked for their opinions on the use of this material.”
Vincent described this development as “an unexpected evolution in the capabilities of artificial intelligence” and makes “content creators” truly unable to express their opinions on the use of their creativity to train generative artificial intelligence applications.
