Italian ChatGPT is now again accessible


Italy now has access to the ChatGPT chatbot again.

At the beginning of April, it was prohibited due to privacy concerns by the Italian data protection authority.

Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the company that created it, claimed to have "addressed or clarified" the concerns identified.

Before registering for ChatGPT, users could now access the company's privacy policy, and a new tool was available to confirm users' ages.

The chatbot had been temporarily disabled and an investigation into the alleged breach of the AI application had been started by Garante, the Italian data protection body.

Garante had accused OpenAI of failing to verify that ChatGPT users were at least 13 years old, thus OpenAI responded by promising to provide a tool to do so in Italy at registration.

According to OpenAI, customers in the European Union will now have a new form to utilise to exercise their right to object to the company's use of their personal data for model training.

A representative for OpenAI said the company valued the Garante's cooperation and that it will keep up the positive dialogue already going on.

Since its debut in November 2022, ChatGPT has been used by millions of users.

It may imitate various writing styles and respond to queries in language that seems natural and human.

It was included to Bing last month after Microsoft invested billions in it.

In lieu of going to jail, Uber's former chief security officer was given three years of probation and ordered to complete community service. In response to hackers gaining access to 57 million records of Uber users, including names and phone numbers, Joseph Sullivan was found guilty of paying them $100,000 (£79,000). In addition, he must perform 200 hours of community service and pay a $50,000 fine. Initially, the prosecution requested a 15-month prison term. Sullivan was also found guilty of impeding a Federal Trade Commission probe. The judge, William Orrick, reportedly told the Wall Street Journal that he was being lenient with Sullivan not just because this was the first instance of its kind but also due to his character. I hope everyone here understands that if there are more, folks should anticipate spending time in detention regardless of anything, he said. THE HACK In 2015, Sullivan started working as Uber's chief security officer. According to t...

Online Safety Bill age checks won’t be done by Wikipedia

According to its foundation, Wikipedia will not submit to any age verifications mandated by the Online Safety Bill. It would "violate our commitment to collect minimal data about readers and contributors," according to Rebecca MacKinnon of the Wikimedia Foundation, which sponsors the website. A senior member of Wikimedia UK is concerned that the website might be blocked as a result. However, according to the government, only services that pose the greatest risk to children will require age verification. There are millions of entries on Wikipedia, created and edited by tens of thousands of volunteers from all over the world in hundreds of different languages. According to information from analytics company SimilarWeb, it is the seventh most popular website in the UK. The Online Safety Bill, which is presently before Parliament, will completely take effect sometime in 2024 and requires digital companies to safeguard users from harmful or illegal informat...
