• A recent data breach partly exposed conversations and some users’ personal details, for which OpenAI apologised.

• The Italian watchdog also noted inaccuracies in ChatGPT's responses and lack of age verification as reasons for the ban.

• Penalties could include fines of up to €20m or 4% of annual global revenue.

• OpenAI's CEO is taking a six-continent trip in May to discuss the technology with users and developers, including a stop planned for Brussels.

Google promises Bard AI chatbot upgrades soon: ‘We clearly have more capable models’

• Google CEO Sundar Pichai has promised upgrades to the company's AI chatbot Bard, which has been subject to criticism in comparison to rivals.

• The current version is powered by a "lightweight and efficient" language model, while the upcoming upgrade will use a more advanced PaLM model.

• Experts are warning of potential risks posed by these systems, including misinformation and existential threats.

• Pichai suggests that existing regulations should be applied rather than creating new laws specifically for AI, and that anticipating AI safety issues is key.

Ethicists fire back at ‘AI Pause’ letter they say ‘ignores the actual harms’

• These ethicists have identified worker exploitation, data theft, and synthetic media that supports existing power structures as real threats caused by misuse of AI technology.

• They advocate for regulation requiring transparency and accountability from organizations building generative systems, as well as shaping corporate choices to protect people’s rights and interests.

• Jessica Matthews suggests not being afraid of AI but instead the people who are building it; her solution is to become these people building it.
