😳 TWITCH’S AI U-TURN
Twitch has made a dramatic U-turn in regard to a new policy… because of the impact of AI.
On Wednesday, Twitch announced that “artistic nudity” would be allowed…
Can you see where this is going?
What happened?
AI nude imagery immediately flooded the platform almost immediately, followed by an outpouring of concern online from Twitch's art community about the volume of AI-generated nudes which began to bombard Twitch's art category.
"Upon reflection, we have decided that we went too far with this change," CEO Dan Clancy said in a statement.
Clancy also said some of the imagery that had been allowed under the new guidelines was "met with community concern".
By Friday the change was reversed. Talk about a U-turn!
Here’s how they described it…
We’re making some additional updates to our Sexual Content Policy. We realize that our earlier update caused confusion and appreciate all the feedback we’ve received. Thanks for always coming together with us to help build the best version of Twitch.

The only thing they didn’t reverse…
The only exception remains "incidental nudity" that appears in mature-rated games, meaning games that include nudity as part of the story, etc.
In other words, the change was completely pulled.
If only we could have seen this coming…
OUR VIEW:
They should have seen this coming, right? Is it really so hard to police AI-nudity?

💡AI-NSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
In the symphony of existence, your purpose is the melody that adds beauty to the world; play it with all your heart.
🏥 AI PREDICTS PATIENT WELFARE!
A new AI tool is able to accurately predict how patients will fare after they undergo surgeries and other treatments.
Why is this a big deal? Currently, doctors can only make a moderate estimate at how patients will fare after surgery. AI is helping to bridge that knowledge gap.
How did they do it?
Scientists trained an AI model on pre-operative electrocardiograms.
These results were then paired with their outcomes after the surgery or procedure, and the AI was asked to find associations or patterns in the electrocardiogram waveforms.
While classifying most patients as low risk, those individuals the algorithm identified as high risk had nearly a 9-fold increased probability of post-operative mortality.
This could make a huge impact on doctors’ decisions to undertake surgery in the first place, increasing patient outcomes.
OUR VIEW:
A huge AI medical win - this is what AI should be used for, more of this please.
