Biden discusses the risks of AI with the CEOs of Microsoft and Google


On Thursday, President Joe Biden met with the CEOs of some of the largest AI firms, including Microsoft and Alphabet's Google, and emphasised the need for them to make sure their technologies are secure before they are used.

The popularity of apps like ChatGPT has made the term "generative artificial intelligence" popular this year, spurring a rush among businesses to release comparable products they hope would alter the nature of work.

Millions of users have started experimenting with these tools, whose proponents claim can make medical diagnoses, write screenplays, create legal briefs, and debug software. As a result, there is growing worry that the technology could result in privacy violations, skew employment decisions, and be used in power scams and misinformation campaigns.

The hazards that AI poses to people, society, and national security were discussed by Biden, who has used ChatGPT and experimented with it, according to the White House.


The White House noted that the meeting included a "frank and constructive discussion" about the necessity for businesses to be more open with lawmakers about their AI systems, the value of assessing the safety of such products, and the requirement to defend them against malicious attacks.

Sundar Pichai of Google, Satya Nadella of Microsoft Corp., Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Dario Amodei of Anthropic attended the two-hour meeting on Thursday along with Vice President Kamala Harris and other administration officials like Jeff Zients, the chief of staff for Vice President Joe Biden, Jake Sullivan, the director of the National Economic Council, Lael Brainard, and Gina Raimondo, the secretary of commerce.

In a statement, Harris stated that while the technology has the potential to benefit lives, it may also raise issues related to civil rights, safety, and privacy. The administration is open to adopting new laws and supporting new legislation on artificial intelligence, she told the chief executives, adding that they have a "legal responsibility" to safeguard the security of their artificial intelligence products.

Bing Chat AI from Microsoft is now available to everyone

All users will be able to access Bing GPT-4 as of right now, ending the protracted wait list that Microsoft had in place previously. Users can preview GPT-4 by logging in to Bing or Edge with their Microsoft accounts. Microsoft first made the chatbot available in February as a private preview for a small group of people, while a lengthy queue was formed for everyone else. The business is currently gradually making the service available to everyone. According to The Verge, Bing Chat will also get new features like image and video results, Bing and Edge Actions, persistent chat and history, and plug-in compatibility. The future of Bing Chat and its developers will be built on plug-in support. To enable its plug-in for completing restaurant reservations within Bing Chat and WolframAlpha for generating visualisations, the company is already collaborating with OpenTable. At its Build conference later this month, Microsoft is anticipated to provide more information.

Mastodon is an alternative to Twitter.

The mess that ensued after Twitter was taken over by billionaire Elon Musk led many devoted users to stop using the social media site. Since then, many alternatives have emerged and gained popularity, including Jack Dorsey's BlueSky and Mastodon. I didn't see any difference in the sign-up process or the app's design, which pretty well mimics Twitter's functionality. In contrast to Twitter, Mastodon bills itself as a decentralised open-source network that doesn't sell user data or employ an algorithm feed. Mastodon has not gained popularity in part because to technical issues with the software, ambiguity about how it should be used, and the tiny number of users who joined the network. Around 70,000 users left Twitter for it. Even if the platform's performance has substantially improved over the past year, and many of its technical issues have been resolved, many users still find it challenging to navigate and frequently quit the network be...
