Here are the steps governments around the world are taking to handle the potential effects of artificial intelligence on society
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence such as Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT are complicating governments’ efforts to agree laws governing the use of the technology.
Following government approvals, four Chinese tech firms, including Baidu Inc and SenseTime Group, launched their AI chatbots to the public on August 31.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on September 13 called for a global panel to assess the risks and benefits of AI, similarly to the global IPCC panel which informs policy makers about the climate.
France’s privacy watchdog CNIL said in April it was investigating several complaints about ChatGPT after the chatbot was temporarily banned in Italy over a suspected breach of privacy rules. Israel published a 115-page draft AI policy in October and is collating public feedback ahead of a final decision.Italy’s data protection authority plans to review artificial intelligence platforms and hire AI experts, a top official said in May.
