📰 3 Of the latest AI news updates summarized ...

OpenAI faces complaint to FTC that seeks investigation and suspension of ChatGPT releases

• A new complaint to the Federal Trade Commission urges the agency to investigate OpenAI and suspend its commercial deployment of large language models such as ChatGPT.

• The complaint, by the nonprofit research group Center for AI and Digital Policy, accuses OpenAI of violating a part of the FTC Act that prohibits unfair and deceptive business practices, and the agency’s guidance for AI products.

• CAIDP President Marc Rotenberg signed onto a widely circulated open letter that called for a pause of at least 6 months on “the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT4.”

Wired journalist Matt Burgess also writes "ChatGPT Has a Big Privacy Problem"

• Italy’s data regulator issued an emergency decision demanding OpenAI to stop using the personal information of millions of Italians that’s included in GPT-3 and ChatGPT's training data.

• Data regulators from other countries, including France, Germany, and Ireland have contacted the Italian regulator for information regarding its findings.

• The action highlights privacy tensions around the creation of large AI models often trained on vast amounts of internet data.

• OpenAI's privacy policy relies upon "legitimate interests" when it comes to developing services, but GPT-4's technical paper says publicly available personal information is part of its training data.

ChatGPT in Education: The Pros, Cons and Unknowns of Generative AI

• Educators are discussing the potential applications and implications of using ChatGPT in the classroom.

• Students are encountering varied perceptions of generative AI being academic misconduct in some cases and required use in others.

• Educators are brainstorming ways to approach this new technology responsibly, teaching students how to use it ethically, and rethinking assessments that don’t require it.

• Plagiarism is the most common concern raised by educators. Schools have banned the tool or updated policies to redefine cheating; others require handwritten responses within classrooms.

• Despite the challenges involved, more than half of EDUCAUSE respondents felt optimistic about generative AI and thought it could be used for helpful tasks like ideating, drafting and editing.

• K–12 students should be taught about digital literacy, data ethics and responsible usage of generative tools to prepare them for future debates over its development and use in college settings.
