Wozniak further said that AI content should be clearly labeled and called for regulation for the sector.

Wozniak joins the league of business leaders and experts who have been vocally calling for banning and limiting AI globally and creating universal rules for AI.

Rise of Generative AI

Generative AI is a type of technology that can create new content, such as images, music or text, using a set of rules and large amounts of data. It learns patterns from the data and then generates new and original outputs based on those patterns. For example, it can create a new piece of music that sounds like it was composed by a human composer, or generate realistic images of people or animals that do not actually exist. Generative AI has many exciting applications in fields such as art, design and gaming, but it also raises important questions about ethics, creativity and impact on society.
