EU, Google to develop voluntary AI pact ahead of new AI rules, EU's Breton says    .. Reuters / 25 May

 

Extract :

Alphabet (GOOGL.O) and the European Commission aim to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) pact involving European and non-European companies before rules are established to govern the technology, EU industry chief Thierry Breton ( cab-breton-contact@ec.europa.eu ), said on Wednesday.

Breton earlier met Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet, in Brussels.

"Sundar and I agreed that we cannot afford to wait until AI regulation actually becomes applicable, and to work together with all AI developers to already develop an AI pact on a voluntary basis ahead of the legal deadline," Breton said in a statement.

He also urged EU countries and EU lawmakers to finalise details of the Commission's proposed AI rules before the end of the year. Both groups have yet to start negotiations to iron out their differences.

Concern is mounting about fast-developing AI's potential to upend the way society and businesses operate. Governments are scrambling to find a way to rein in negative consequences without losing the benefits, or stifling innovation.

EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager, who also met Pichai, underlined the need to act together. ( margrethe-vestager-contact@ec.europa.eu )

 "We need the AI Act as soon as possible. But AI technology evolves at extreme speed. So we need voluntary agreement on universal rules for AI now," she said in a tweet.

The European Union and the United States plan to step up cooperation on artificial intelligence to establish minimum standards before legislation enters force, Vestager said on Tuesday.

Commission Vice President Vera Jourova said she voiced her concerns to Pichai about the spread of pro-Kremlin war propaganda and disinformation on Google's products and services and the risks of disinformation in EU and national elections. [ cab-jourova-contact@ec.europa.eu ]

Pichai agreed to look into problems faced by independent Russian media in monetising their content in Russia on YouTube, Jourova said.

 

 

Centre has started consultations on principles, guardrails for AI, says MoS IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar

(  Eco Times  -  25  May  2023  )

Extract :

The Centre has started internal consultations on the PRINCIPLES and GUARDRAILS for the use of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) in language learning models and by companies, the minister of state for electronics and information technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar said

“ Consultation has already started……….. in the Digital India Act, a whole chapter is going to be devoted to emerging technologies which is not about AI only, but multiple other technologies as well…….. On how we would REGULATE them through the prism of user harm “, Chandrasekhar told reporters on the side lines of an event here in New Delhi

Though India would be open to the idea of companies across the globe coming together to form a partnership to better regulate AI, it would not mean cessations of government efforts to create additional SAFETY  GUIDELINES , he said

“ If there is eventually a United Nations of AI, more power to it. But that does not stop us from doing what is right for our DIGITAL CITIZENS and keeping the internet safe and trusted “ , Chandrasekhar said

 

ChatGPT Will Now Use Microsoft's Bing AI Search Engine Data    …………..  CNet   / 24 May 2023

Extract :

Microsoft announced Tuesday that OpenAI is using data from the Bing search engine to help improve its ChatGPT chatbot. Incorporating Bing data allows the chatbot to provide real-time information to users, but at first, you'll have to pay a monthly premium for ChatGPT Plus to use it.

 

Hey Readers ,

 

If ChatGPT were to be responding to above POLL , how would it respond ? Agree or Disagree ?

My following question to ChatGPT provides some clue :

 

My poser to ChatGPT :

I agree but based on the fact that you are a Chatbot yourself , and claim to be governed by some moral / ethical / self-regulating STANDARDS, what %age figures, do you expect , which will NOT surprise you ?

 

ChatGPT replied :

As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or expectations.

However, based on common ethical considerations and expectations from chatbots, I would expect a high percentage of agreement with rules that promote responsible and safe interactions with chatbots.

These may include rules against delivering misleading, malicious, or offensive information, as well as rules regarding appropriate initiation of conversations and self-regulation.

It is difficult to provide an exact percentage without conducting an actual survey.

However, it is reasonable to expect a significant majority of respondents to agree with these ethical standards, potentially exceeding 90% agreement.
