"Artificial intelligence (AI) might not have been created to enable new forms
of sexual violence such as deepfake pornography. But that has been an
unfortunate byproduct of the rapidly advancing technology.

This is just one example of AI’s many unintended uses.

AI’s intended uses are not without their own problems, including serious
copyright concerns. But beyond this, there is much experimentation happening
with the rapidly advancing technology. Models and code are shared, repurposed
and remixed in public online spaces.

These collaborative, loosely networked communities – what we call
“underspheres” in our recently published paper in New Media & Society – are
where users experiment with AI rather than simply consume it. These spaces are
where generative AI is pushed into unpredictable and experimental directions.
And they show why a new approach to regulating AI and mitigating its risks is
urgently needed. Climate policy offers some useful lessons."
