EU goes after ChatGPT

 

The bloc’s is looking at “possible enforcement actions” against the American AI project

 

The European Data Protection Board said on Thursday that it will help member countries coordinate activities regarding ChatGPT, an American-developed AI chatbot thatItaly has already bannedover privacy violations.

 

“The EDPB decided to launch a dedicated task force to foster cooperation and to exchange information on possible enforcement actions conducted by data protection authorities,” the agency said, according to AFP.

 

Italy banned ChatGPT last month, saying it allegedly violated EU privacy laws. Since then, Spain’s data protection agency AEPD has opened a probe into ChatGPT’s maker OpenAI, saying that development of artificial intelligence “must be compatible with personal rights and freedoms.” Germany has said it could do the same thing “in principle,” but hasn’t made a move against ChatGPT yet.

 

On Thursday, the French regulator CNIL said it had also opened a case, after receiving five complaints about the chatbot. One of them came from Eric Bothorel, a member of parliament from President Emmanuel Macron’s LREM party, who said the chatbot had “invented” details of his life such as birth date and job history.

 

The EU’s GDPR data protection law requires online services to provide accurate personal information. In 2021, the bloc proposed stringent regulations regarding AI development.

 

Last week, US law scholarJonathan Turleyrevealed that thechatbot had invented a news article accusing him of sexual harassmentof students during a trip to Alaska. No such article ever existed, Turley had never gone to Alaska, and the chatbot identified the wrong university as his supposed employer.

 

OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed company behind ChatGPT, has told AFP that it was “committed to protecting people's privacy” and believed that the chatbot was fully compliant with EU laws. After Italy’s ban, OpenAI “voluntarily geo-blocked” its program’s access to Italy.

 

The first publicly available iteration of ChatGPT launched in November 2022, and the copy it generated based on user prompts quickly caused an uproar from academia to journalism. According to OpenAI, its latest iteration, GPT-4, “exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks,” including top scores on the US bar exam and SAT university entrance tests.

 

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told ABC News last month that the AI will “eliminate a lot of current jobs,” and that he was concerned itcould be used for “large-scale disinformation” as well as “offensive cyber-attacks.” However, Altman insisted that GPT-4 is still “very much” under human control.

Pentagon seeks to plug intelligence leaks

The US military *vowed to overhaul procedures to prevent more disclosures of classified reports

 

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday praised the “swift arrest” of the alleged source of secret documents and pledged to review intelligence-sharing procedures in response,indirectly confirming the leaked documents were authentic.

 

Austin said he had directed his deputy for intelligence and security to “conduct a review of our intelligence access, accountability and control procedures within the Department to inform our efforts to prevent this kind of incident from happening again.”

 

The Pentagon will work with the US intelligence community to “review the national security implications of this unauthorized disclosure,” Austin said, thanking the Disclosures Task Force for “working around the clock to assess and mitigate any damage done.”

 

Austin concluded by reminding every Pentagon employee, military or civilian, that they have “a solemn legal and moral obligation to safeguard” classified information and report “any suspicious activity or behavior.”

 

A 21-year-old airman in the Massachusetts Air National Guard was arrested by the FBI on Thursday, after being identified by the New York Times and an employee of the “open source intelligence” outfitBellingcat(SeeEyeAye). He allegedly took photos of secret and top-secret presentation slides intended for the Joint Chiefs and shared them with gamer friends on the messaging platform Discord.

 

The documents, which eventually found their way to the wider public, initially related to the Ukraine conflict. Later batches contained reports about Israel, South Korea, Serbia and China – almost all of which have been officially denied as false, fabricated or otherwise inaccurate. Ukraine denounced the leaks as Russian disinformation, while Russia said they could be an American psyop.

 

(*They took a vow in the beginning to protect the US from foreign and domestic enemies, but they seem to be domestic enemies because we cannot know the truth!)
