At least one giant multi-national corp is actively soliciting examples and use cases from their employees.
“Toy” example submissions is fine, the company is just so eager for something to do with AI - they’re hoping for their actual AI folks to be able to take off of that uncompensated IP, while the employee with the idea gets a pat on the head.
Have I had ideas I might otherwise submit and that are well within my capabilities to implement at “toy” level? Hell, yes.
Do I want to contribute concepts into that sort of pipeline? Absolutely not. Not when they more or less automatically own my work product and whatever I do on company time already.
