The US FTC opened an investigation into OpenAI
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched an investigation into OpenAI, the startup behind the popular ChatGPT artificial intelligence model.
OpenAI is accused of putting users’ personal data and reputation at risk, which could violate consumer protection laws.
This action represents the most significant threat to the Microsoft-backed company, a leader in the generative artificial intelligence revolution, and has generated both excitement and concern about its potential risks.
The investigation, according to Reuters, marks a milestone in the regulation of artificial intelligence and could have important implications for the way consumer data is used and protected.
China implements new rules to regulate generative artificial intelligence
Seeking to increase supervision of generative artificial intelligence technology, Chinese regulators have established the first rules of their kind in the country.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), together with other regulatory bodies, developed the new regulation that will take effect on August 15.
Generative artificial intelligence refers to services in which artificial intelligence systems can generate content, such as text or images.
The best-known example of this technology is OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but there are dozens around the world, including China.
The new CAC rules establish license requirements for generative artificial intelligence services available to the general public and require providers to take measures to prevent the generation of illegal content, according to CNBC.
Meta will release a commercial version of its artificial intelligence model
In an attempt to compete with OpenAI and Google (Bard), Meta is about to release a commercial version of its AI model.
This will allow companies to customize their software based on this technology.
Meta, which has been working on AI research and development for more than a decade, hopes to catch up with its competitors and diminish OpenAI’s current dominance.
Unlike its competitors, Meta’s software will be open source, which means details of its new model will be released publicly.
This strategy will make it possible to improve technology and create applications based on it, something more than interesting for companies.
The launch is expected to be imminent and mark a new chapter in the competition for supremacy in the field of artificial intelligence, says the Financial Times This Thursday, July 13.
