SAVE THE DATE - Spring Privacy Foundation Seminar: Feminine Technology and Reproductive Privacy, April 21, 2023 - 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
The seminar will address the following areas:
• Pro-life states’ subpoenas for period tracking and other response-software data and pro-choice states’ responses to these subpoenas.
• Steps hospitals and clinics need to take to avoid being caught in the middle of criminal subpoenas which are bypassing HIPPA.
•Criminal subpoenas issued for patient and medical personnel’s social media activity.
•Medical and legal guidelines for criminal subpoenas requiring hospital and clinic pregnancy data—including fertility data from out-of-state patients.
•Medical schools in each state—out of state student rotation to reproductive departments.
•Possible legal safe harbors for doctors when performing medical procedures within state laws.
·Colorado State Law Privacy Revisions to our Current Privacy State Statute.
Mark your calendars for Friday, April 21st, and please stay tuned for more information. Send comments to the Privacy Foundation at privacyfoundation@law.du.edu and copy John Soma at jsoma@law.du.edu.
I wonder if Bill used ChatGPT as a ghost writer?

Bill Gates just published a 7-page letter about AI and his predictions for its future
Bill Gates has been thinking a lot about artificial intelligence, and now he's put those thoughts to paper.
The Microsoft cofounder published a seven-page letter on Tuesday — "The Age of AI has Begun” — outlining his views on the future of AI. He wrote that developing AI is "as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the internet, and the mobile phone."

Latest version of artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT is modern day equivalent of the invention of printing press
I thing this is obvious but it won’t hurt to remind those experimenting with ChatGPT.
Sharing sensitive business data with ChatGPT could be risky
ChatGPT and similar large language models learn from the data you put in — and there are big risks in sharing sensitive business information with AI chatbots.
AI inventing AI? Think of it as AI evolving...

The Unpredictable Abilities Emerging From Large AI Models
Large language models like ChatGPT are now big enough that they’ve started to display startling, unpredictable behaviors.
… New analyses suggest that for some tasks and some models, there’s a threshold of complexity beyond which the functionality of the model skyrockets. (They also suggest a dark flip side: As they increase in complexity, some models reveal new biases and inaccuracies in their responses.)
“That language models can do these sort of things was never discussed in any literature that I’m aware of,” said Rishi Bommasani, a computer scientist at Stanford University. Last year, he helped compile a list of dozens of emergent behaviors, including several identified in Dyer’s project. That list continues to grow.
Now, researchers are racing not only to identify additional emergent abilities but also to figure out why and how they occur at all — in essence, to try to predict unpredictability. Understanding emergence could reveal answers to deep questions around AI and machine learning in general, like whether complex models are truly doing something new or just getting really good at statistics. It could also help researchers harness potential benefits and curtail emergent risks.
These arguments will continue until someone pries the lid off of this can of worms.
A copyright battle over AI-generated art will begin in Colorado
When Jason Allen won the digital-art competition at the Colorado State Fair last year, he sprayed fuel on a debate about the role of artificial intelligence in the art world.
Now the Pueblo-based game designer, who created his award-winning piece “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial” using the AI software Midjourney, is exploiting his fame as an AI-art poster child to launch a campaign to legally protect AI works.
“The U.S. Copyright Office rejected my copyright registration (for the image), so after some back and forth, I’ve hired a lawyer and am appealing,” said the 39-year-old Allen, who this week is unveiling a coordinated online protest against the ruling. “We’re prepared to go all the way to the Supreme Court.”

TSA confirms plans to mandate mug shots for domestic air travel
Papers Please: “In an on-stage interview [March 14, 2023] at South By Southwest by a reporter for the Dallas Morning News, the head of the US Transportation Security Administration made explicit that the TSA plans to make collection of biometric data mandatory for airline travel: According to a report in [March 15, 2023] of the newspaper by Alexandra Skores on the statements by TSA Administrator David Pekoske:
Biometric technology, such as facial recognition, is increasingly being used in TSA’s identity verification process…. He said passengers can also choose to opt out of certain screening processes if they are uncomfortable, for now. Eventually, biometrics won’t be optional, he said.”
Mandatory mugshots for all airline passengers have been part of the TSA’s road map since at least 2018, despite objections such as those raised by the ACLU and the Identity Project. TSA Privacy Impact Assessments have claimed that air travelers could, for now, opt out, of mug shots, but the TSA has never complied with the notice requirements in the federal Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). So far as we can tell, there’s never been any PRA approval for collection of biometrics from domestic air travelers, or any PRA notice at a TSA checkpoint. Since the TSA has never applied to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of this information collection, as required by the PRA, we don’t know what legal basis it would claim for this collection of biometric information…”
