AI is transforming our lives rapidly, and it's causing some concern. Recent surveys from Germany and Spain reveal that many people think strict regulations are needed to ensure AI safety. Factors like age, job security fears, and someone's openness to change can influence how tough they believe these rules should be. It's not just about personal privacy and job prote...
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) recently stepped in to help clarify how AI models can use personal data without breaking the law. They looked at big questions like whether AI models can be anonymous and if companies need people's consent to use their data. They also discussed what to do with AI models trained on data that wasn't collected legally. The EDPB ...
The U. K. government is chatting about how and if AI developers can use copyrighted songs to train their AI models. Right now, it's a bit of a mystery for creators and AI firms, making it tricky to know who pays whom. A new normal could let AI companies use songs without permission, but only if creators don't say no. The idea is to make things clearer for both sides ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing quickly, but the rules are all over the place. With the upcoming Trump administration planning to keep its hands off, the U. S. has a messy mix of state rules or no rules at all for AI. Some say the president-elect might appoint an "AI czar" to handle federal policies, but who knows what that means for regulation. Elon Musk,...
California is at a crossroads when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, a bill aiming to boost AI training was proposed, but Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed it. Some people worry that this could slow down tech growth in the state. The United States doesn't have a single data privacy law, unlike the European Union. This lack of unity leaves AI privacy in a...
Meta is keen on integrating its Llama AI into Britain's public healthcare system. Recently, it held a hackathon in Europe, inviting over 200 developers to innovate with Llama AI to enhance the country's health services. The company is particularly interested in reducing wait times in emergency rooms. The UK's AI minister, Feryal Clark, sees potential in using Meta's...
The European Union is taking a big step towards regulating AI with its draft rules for general-purpose AI models. Big names like Meta, Google, and OpenAI will need to follow these guidelines. You might be wondering, what are these general-purpose AI (GPAI) models anyway? They're like super-flexible AI that can handle many tasks without much adjustment. The EU's draft...
In a surprising move, giants like Microsoft and venture capitalists from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) have come together. But this isn't about a new tech project. It's about a plea to governments: don't mess with their money by regulating AI. They say it’s about protecting startups, but the truth might not be that simple. They claim a proposed law, SB 1047, would hurt ...
Chinese military researchers have found a new use for Meta's Llama AI model. They've adapted it to create a tool called "ChatBIT, " which is designed to help with military tasks like gathering intelligence and making decisions. This is a big deal because Meta shared Llama publicly to encourage open innovation, but they didn't expect it to be used for military purpose...
California Governor Gavin Newsom recently vetoed a hotly debated artificial intelligence (AI) safety bill. Tech firms opposed this bill, fearing it might cause AI companies to leave California and slow down innovation. Newsom wants to create guidelines for Generative AI – which can generate text, photos, and videos – based on science and data. He's also asked state a...
