Oh, look who's finally catching up! 😏 Just a few months back, EU lawmakers were blissfully unaware of ChatGPT's potential.
Their AI Act barely mentioned "chatbot," and they were all about those sneaky deepfakes.
But then, BOOM! 💥 ChatGPT took the world by storm, and now the MEPs are scrambling to update their rules like there's no tomorrow.
In a rare display of speed and consensus in Brussels
(I know, right?), these politicians with a mission spent a whirlwind 11 days hammering out what could be landmark legislation. I mean, who doesn't love a good underdog story? 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Now, with ChatGPT and its buddies like Anthropic and Midjourney making waves, even EU industry chief Thierry Breton is calling for regulation.
And hey, if Elon Musk's warning of existential risk from AI doesn't make you sit up and take notice, I don't know what will. 😂 (he looked very concerned during his interview on Tucker Show, which is in Tucker anymore.)
Some MEPs even suggested forcing companies to disclose copyrighted material used in AI training. Talk about raining on the AI parade! 🌧️ But fear not, as usual, too much noise, and not much done, they didn't go too far. A more restrictive proposal got the boot, so the AI party continues! 🎉
Our heroic lawmakers managed to agree on an updated text pretty easily (shocking, I know), and now they're gearing up for the big vote on May 11. If all goes well, the trilogue begins, and the AI regulation roller coaster ride continues! 🎢
AI firms have had their fair share of drama lately, with Getty Images suing Stable Diffusion over some copyrighted photos. Even OpenAI faced some heat for playing coy about its dataset. 🌡️
MEP Svenja Hahn says there were calls to ban or classify ChatGPT as high-risk, but the final compromise is more "innovation-friendly." Phew! At least they're giving AI a chance to shine. 💡
So, grab your popcorn, get me with extra butter and let's see if this deal holds up. 🍿 The future of AI regulation hangs in the balance! 😬
Now they're all about laws targeting generative AI. It's like watching your favorite drama series with a plot twist you never saw coming. 📺
desklesss with much love,
