Are Italy’s rules everything we need?

Italy’s new rules for ChatGPT could become a template for the rest of the EU

Last month, Italy became the first Western country to temporarily ban ChatGPT within its borders.

Prompted by a data breach that occurred on March 20, the Italian data protection agency, known as Garante, accused OpenAI of “unlawful” collection of personal data — against the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — and the absence of an age verification system for minors.

Correspondingly, it ordered the US-based company to cease offering access to ChatGPT in the country.

Now, Garante has announced nine measures OpenAI must comply with for the ban to be lifted. These can be summarised in five main demands:

Transparency

Exercising data rights

Legal basis

Minor protection

Awareness campaign

European parliament prepares tough measures over use of artificial intelligence

The European parliament is preparing tough new measures over the use of artificial intelligence, including forcing chatbot makers to reveal if they use copyrighted material, as the EU edges towards enacting the world’s most restrictive regime on the development of AI.

MEPs in Brussels are close to agreeing a set of proposals to form part of Europe’s Artificial Intelligence Act, a sweeping set of regulations on the use of AI, according to people familiar with the process.

Among the measures likely to be proposed by parliamentarians is for developers of products such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT to declare if copyrighted material is being used to train their AI models, a measure designed to allow content creators to demand payment. MEPs also want responsibility for misuse of AI programmes to lie with developers such as OpenAI, rather than smaller businesses using it.

One contentious proposal from MEPs is a ban on the use of facial recognition in public spaces under any circumstances. EU member states, under pressure from their local police forces, are expected to push back against a total ban on biometrics, said people with direct knowledge of the negotiations.

There are times when you might want to change the created/modified date for your files. For example, you could do this so that you can group your files by a certain common date. In some instances, you could change the created/modified date for privacy purposes—especially if you share your PC with others.





Cheap AI lawyers?

Robot Lawyers Are About to Flood the Courts

THE HYPE CYCLE for chatbots—software that can generate convincing strings of words from a simple prompt—is in full swing. Few industries are more panicked than lawyers, who have been investing in tools to generate and process legal documents for years. After all, you might joke, what are lawyers but primitive human chatbots, generating convincing strings of words from simple prompts?

For America’s state and local courts, this joke is about to get a lot less funny, fast. Debt collection agencies are already flooding courts and ambushing ordinary people with thousands of low-quality, small-dollar cases. Courts are woefully unprepared for a future where anyone with a chatbot can become a high-volume filer, or where ordinary people might rely on chatbots for desperately-needed legal advice.
