Mediaset, the cryptic TV message that scares Italians: what did Pier Silvio want to tell us?

During a live broadcast on Canale 5, Mediaset decided to send an overlay message live: what does it mean?

Mediaset has always been and still is very careful on all fronts, with the viewers who, every time they watch a program created by Pier Silvio Berlusconi and his entire team, sleep soundly, as they say. The latest technological innovations, however, have raised some fears regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence, not as such, but rather regarding its use and, above all, the way in which it learns from the surrounding world.

If, in fact, we still think that there are people who manually enter information, in reality the structure is really much more complex and, precisely for this reason, by exploiting a fallacy in the laws in this regard, the risk is of being, so to speak, “exploited” to “train” this new and exclusive typology without being aware of it. For this reason, the message that appeared superimposed several times in some Mediaset programs literally made many viewers tremble, since no one would have ever imagined something similar from the company.

But what did they want to tell us? Here is the meaning of messageviewers can still rest assured.

Mediaset, the message against AI: the meaning

During many programs Mediaset this message appeared, namely the fact that this program, its images, audio and messages cannot be used for training systems of generative AI. In fact, the flaw in the system is precisely this: according to the law, in fact, if there is a lack of dissent, these systems and their owners can use anything to “train” these software, while if the lack of consent becomes official, then inevitably we need to stop.

Here, then, is explained the meaning of this message which some time ago literally drove millions and millions of people crazy and, above all, scared so many. viewers which, however, were absolutely out of the scope of this message and had absolutely nothing to do with it. The situation, however, is quite thorny and the boundary between right and wrong, as in many other cases, is very blurred.
