OpenAI restores access to ChatGPT in Italy after ban

[ad_1]
San Francisco: OpenAI has restored access to the ChatGPT service in Italy, after the country banned the AI chatbot in response to an order from the local data protection authority over user data concerns.
Microsoft-backed OpenAI had “addressed or clarified” the issues raised by the Italian Data Protection Authority (or GPDP) in late March, reports The Verge.
“ChatGPT is available again to our users in Italy. We are excited to welcome them back, and we remain dedicated to protecting their privacy,” the company said in a statement.

EU users can submit a new form to remove personal data under Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). A new tool will also verify users’ ages upon signup in Italy.
Earlier this month, OpenAI blocked access to its AI chatbot ChatGPT in Italy.
“We regret to inform you that we have disabled ChatGPT for users in Italy at the request of the Italian Garante,” OpenAI had said in a letter.
In the order, the Italian regulator Garante said it’s concerned that the ChatGPT maker is breaching the EU GDPR, claiming that OpenAI has unlawfully processed the data of Italian citizens.
“There is no way ChatGPT can continue to process data in breach of privacy laws. The Italian SA has imposed an immediate temporary limitation on the processing of Italian users’ data by OpenAI, the US-based company developing and managing the platform. An inquiry into the facts of the case was initiated as well,” the regulator noted.

Moreover, the company also said to refund the amount to all users in Italy who purchased a ChatGPT Plus subscription in March.
OpenAI, late last month admitted that some users’ payment information may have been exposed when it took ChatGPT offline owing to a bug.
The company took ChatGPT offline due to a bug in an open-source library which allowed some users to see titles from another active user’s chat history, according to OpenAI.

OpenAI to let users turn-off chat history in ChatGPT

[ad_1]
San Francisco: Microsoft-owned OpenAI has announced a new update that allows users to turn-off their chat history in its AI chatbot ChatGPT.
OpenAI said, it will not save users’ earlier conversations when the chat history option is disabled and will not use those conversations to train and improve its models.
“We’ve introduced the ability to turn off chat history in ChatGPT. Conversations that are started when chat history is disabled won’t be used to train and improve our models, and won’t appear in the history sidebar,” OpenAI said in a blogpost on Tuesday.

The new disable chat history option is now rolling out to all users which can be found in ChatGPT’s settings and can be changed at any time.
Moreover, the company said that “when chat history is disabled, we will retain new conversations for 30 days and review them only when needed to monitor for abuse, before permanently deleting them.”
OpenAI is also working on a new ChatGPT Business subscription for professionals who need more control over their data as well as enterprises seeking to manage their end users.
According to the company, ChatGPT Business will follow their API’s (Application Programming Interface) data usage policies, which means that end users’ data won’t be used to train their models by default.
The company plan to make ChatGPT Business available in the coming months.

CleverTap launches OpenAI integrated content creation assistant Scribe

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The US-based customer retention platform CleverTap on Monday launched an OpenAI integrated content creator assistant ‘Scribe’.
The feature will be rolled out to customers in April.
The AI content feature can generate campaign creatives, analyse emotions, and rewrite them with a specific emotion that resonates with the brands’ users, according to the company.

“Studies show that marketers only have two seconds to capture users’ attention in the digital realm. This gives marketers a very brief window to engage their users by tapping into the right emotions and AI enables brands to build these customised campaigns. These advancements in AI will open up the next frontier for marketers and bring back the ‘tech’ in MarTech,” Jacob Joseph, Vice President Data Science, CleverTap, said in a statement.
Moreover, the company said that Scribe can interpret messages’ emotion and suggest the best alternative that users are more likely to engage with.
The technology enables brands to automatically determine the tone of their messages.
With Scribe, marketers can leverage user engagement data based on emotion analysis to develop hyper-personalised content that is consistent with the brand, and also resonates with the user, the company said.
Scribe is currently available to CleverTap Enterprise Customers on an invite basis.

Italy orders OpenAI to stop processing users’ data else face fine

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Italian regulators have ordered Microsoft-owned OpenAI to immediately stop the processing of Italian users’ data to general AI models.
The Italian regulator Garante said it’s concerned that the ChatGPT maker is breaching the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and has opened a probe.
OpenAI will have to notify the Italian regulators within 20 days of the measures implemented to comply with the order, otherwise a fine of up to 20 million euros or 4 per cent of its total worldwide annual turnover may be imposed.
“There is no way ChatGPT can continue to process data in breach of privacy laws. The Italian SA has imposed an immediate temporary limitation on the processing of Italian users’ data by OpenAI, the US-based company developing and managing the platform. An inquiry into the facts of the case was initiated as well,” the regulator noted.
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, late last month admitted that some users’ payment information may have been exposed earlier this week when it took ChatGPT offline owing to a bug.
It’s worth noting that OpenAI does not have a legal entity established in the EU.
Any data protection authority can intervene under the GDPR if it sees risks to local users.
Finally, the Italian regulators emphasised that the lack of age verification mechanism exposes children to receiving responses that are absolutely inappropriate to their age and awareness, even though the service is allegedly addressed to users aged above 13 according to OpenAI’s terms of service.

OpenAI was yet to respond to the Italian regulator’s order.

Musk attacking us as he is stressed about AI safety: OpenAI CEO

[ad_1]
San Francisco: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has hit back at Twitter CEO Elon Musk for criticising his for-profit company which is now owned by Microsoft.
During the ‘On With Kara Swisher’ podcast, Altman said OpenAI is “independent” from Microsoft.
Altman said Musk has been critical of OpenAI on Twitter.
“Elon Musk is obviously attacking us,” he noted.
“To say a positive thing about Elon, I think he really does care about a good future with artificial general intelligence (AGI). I mean, he’s a jerk, whatever else you want to say about him. But he has a style that is not a style that I’d want to have for myself,” Altman was quoted as saying.
“But I think he does really care, and he is feeling very stressed about what the future’s going to look like for humanity,” the OpenAI CEO added.
Musk tried to take control of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, in early 2018 but Altman and OpenAI’s other founders rejected Musk’s proposal.
Musk later walked away from the company and reneged on a massive planned donation, according to Semafor.

Musk told Altman that he believed the “venture had fallen fatally behind Google”.
When Musk walked away, he resigned from its board in 2018 citing a conflict of interest with his work at Tesla.
According to the Semafor report, he also reneged on a promise to supply $1 billion in funding, contributing only $100 million before he walked.
In March, 2019, OpenAI announced it was creating a for-profit entity so that it could raise enough money to pay for the compute power.
Less than six months later, Microsoft infused $1 billion in OpenAI, and the rest is history.

OpenAI now a maximum-profit company controlled by Microsoft: Musk

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Elon Musk on Friday criticised Microsoft for making profits via OpenAI, a non-profit organisation created by him.
The AI chatbot ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI which is now a Microsoft company, has become a rage and the tech giant is infusing $10 billion into it to make it more useful for across industries.
Musk said that OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), a non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google.
“But now it has become a closed-source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all,” the Twitter CEO posted.
He responded to a follower who said: “Elon Musk says that AI is ‘one of the biggest risks’ to civilisation and needs to be regulated. He co-founded OpenAI.”
ChatGPT is an advanced form of AI that is powered by the GPT-3 large language model. It is programmed to recognise human language and generate responses based on massive amounts of data.
According to Musk, “ChatGPT has illustrated to people just how advanced AI has become. AI has been advanced for a while. It just didn’t have a user interface that was accessible to most people”.
Musk stepped down from OpenAI’s board of directors in 2018 and no longer owns a stake in the company.

“Initially, it was created as an open-source nonprofit. Now it is closed-source and for-profit. I don’t have an open stake in OpenAI, nor am I on the board, nor do I control it in any way,” he mentioned.
As part of his decision to create OpenAI, Musk stated that Google wasn’t paying enough attention to AI safety.

Microsoft invests billions of dollars in ChatGPT developer OpenAI

[ad_1]
San Francisco: Microsoft on Monday announced a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar investment in OpenAI, the developer behind AI-driven ChatGPT which has become a rage.
The tech giant, which infused $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019, did not divulge the investment amount in the “third phase of our long-term partnership with OpenAI”. Earlier reports had claimed Microsoft may infuse up to $10 billion in OpenAI.
“We formed our partnership with OpenAI around a shared ambition to responsibly advance cutting-edge AI research and democratise AI as a new technology platform,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft.
“In this next phase of our partnership, developers and organisations across industries will have access to the best AI infrastructure, models, and toolchain with Azure to build and run their applications,” Nadella added.
Microsoft will now increase its investments in the development and deployment of specialised supercomputing systems to accelerate OpenAI’s groundbreaking independent AI research.
It will deploy OpenAI’s models across its consumer and enterprise products and introduce new categories of digital experiences built on OpenAI’s technology.
This includes Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service which empowers developers to build cutting-edge AI applications through direct access to OpenAI models, said the tech giant.
“The past three years of our partnership have been great,” said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.

“Microsoft shares our values and we are excited to continue our independent research and work toward creating advanced AI that benefits everyone,” he added.
As OpenAI’s exclusive cloud provider, Azure will power all OpenAI workloads across research, products and API services.
