Unveiling the Future: Google's SGE Adds Image Generation and Writing Features

Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE), already a powerful tool that's revolutionized our digital explorations, is evolving once again. Starting soon, SGE will integrate new features that go beyond mere textual answers. First up, SGE will now have a conversational mode that can also generate images, in a move similar to Bing's integration of OpenAI's DALLE-E 3. Users will be able to specify what type of image they'd like—whether it's a drawing, photo, or painting—and receive up to four results directly within the search experience. These images can then be downloaded or further edited. This exciting addition doesn't stop at SGE; Google Image Search will also benefit from this image-generation functionality.

But that's not all. Google is doubling down on SGE's utility as a writing assistant. In addition to previous features like AI-powered summaries and definitions, users will now be able to draft text within the platform itself. Even more compelling is the fact that this draft-writing feature can be customized; you can make the output longer or shorter and even modify the tone to fit your needs. Imagine the convenience of drafting an email in response to an ad you found during your search, all without leaving the SGE interface. Export options for this feature integrate seamlessly with Google Workspace, allowing for easy transition to apps like Gmail or Google Docs.

As with any AI-based tool, there are concerns about misuse and ethics. Google has restricted the new image generation feature to users 18 and older. This comes after the company implemented stringent filtering policies aimed at preventing the creation of harmful, misleading, or explicit content. For added security, all generated images will contain metadata and invisible watermarking to identify them as AI-generated, a feature powered by SynthID. These updates will initially roll out to a subset of SGE users who have opted in via Google Search Labs, and for now, they'll be limited to English and available only in the U.S.

Legal Quandaries: How AI Voice Cloning is Challenging Copyright Laws

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has recently cast a spotlight on an emerging challenge in the field of AI: voice cloning. This technology allows the generation of a synthetic voice based on a real person's voice, opening a Pandora's box of potential legal issues. The RIAA is so concerned that it has submitted a request to the U.S. Trade Representative to include AI voice cloning in its annual "Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy.” This would mark a significant step, formally recognizing the technology as a potential source of copyright infringement.

Voicify.AI, a company that offers voice models of famous artists, has come under particular scrutiny from the RIAA. The organization believes that Voicify's services allow unauthorized activities, such as ripping YouTube videos and then modifying them using AI-generated voices of famous musicians. This, according to the RIAA, violates not just copyright laws but also an artist's right to publicity. The year 2023 has witnessed an uptick in unauthorized AI vocal clone services, which the RIAA notes have led to a surge in unauthorized derivative works.

While some artists and record labels are finding authorized applications for AI voice cloning, ranging from new types of artistic expression to practical uses in the music industry, the broader legal landscape remains murky. For example, there isn't a uniform law across states about the right of publicity, which covers the use of someone's likeness, name, or, in this case, voice.

As AI voice cloning technology continues to advance, it adds another layer of complexity to the already intricate world of intellectual property rights. The RIAA's move could serve as a catalyst for legal discourse to catch up with technology. However, it remains to be seen how the law will treat AI-generated voices, especially when it intersects with rights like publicity and copyright.
