https://www.iainfraser.net/2023/04/fintech-data-breach.html
Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered and reported to WebsitePlanet a non-password protected database that contained a large number of PDF documents.
The PDF documents that were made public included invoices from both individuals and businesses who used an app to pay for products and services. The invoices contained names, email addresses and physical addresses, phone numbers, and more. In addition, the documents also included notes about what the payment was for, the total amount, due date, and some even contained tax information such as a tax id number.
Upon further research, it was identified that the database belonged to NorthOne Bank, a financial technology company that is used by over 320,000 American businesses (based on information on their website). It is worth noting that NorthOne is not a full service bank. Banking services to NorthOne Bank are provided by The Bancorp Bank, which is also a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), a government agency that provides deposit insurance to financial institutions. NorthOne Bank has offices in New York, USA and Toronto, Canada and its services are available throughout North America.

Italian Watchdog Issues a List of To-Dos to Lift ChatGPT Ban

https://techreport.com/news/3494871/italian-watchdog-issues-a-list-of-to-dos-to-lift-chatgpt-ban/
OpenAI finally received a primary to-do list to get the ChatGPT ban lifted in Italy. The data protection watchdog of the country has updated OpenAI on what it needs to do to get over the suspension that ChatGPT received at the end of March. It’s being said that this AI language module breached the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Given this allegation, Italy’s data protection department banned OpenAI’s ChatGPT, preventing the tool from processing locals’ data.
OpenAI, however, took the order seriously and implemented geoblocking to prevent Italian users from accessing ChatGPT. The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, posted a confirmation tweet after halting ChatGPT’s services in Italy. In the said tweet, the CEO mentioned that they are abiding by all privacy laws.

OpenAI avrà tempo fino al 30 aprile per adempiere alle prescrizioni imposte dal Garante per la protezione dei dati personali riguardo a informativa, diritti degli interessati, utenti e non utenti, base giuridica del trattamento dei dati personali per l’addestramento degli algoritmi con i dati degli utenti.
Solo allora, venendo meno le ragioni di urgenza, l’Autorità sospenderà il provvedimento di limitazione provvisoria del trattamento dei dati degli utenti italiani preso nei confronti della società statunitense e ChatGPT potrà tornare accessibile dall’Italia.
A riferirlo è l’Aurorità italiana spiegando che entro fine aprile la società dovrà dunque adottare una serie di misure concrete.
L’Autorità spiega che OpenAI dovrà “predisporre e rendere disponibile sul proprio sito un’informativa trasparente, in cui siano illustrate modalità e logica alla base del trattamento dei dati necessari al funzionamento di ChatGPT nonché i diritti attribuiti agli utenti e agli interessati non utenti”. L’informativa dovrà essere “facilmente accessibile e collocata in una posizione che ne consenta la lettura prima di procedere all’eventuale registrazione al servizio”.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has altered the area of mental health in several ways, most notably in the development of tailored treatment regimens for people with mental health disorders. One of the more recent areas of interest for AI is psychology, specifically mental health. As AI expands its reach, it is becoming increasingly important for psychologists, therapists and counsellors to comprehend the technology’s current capabilities and future promise to revolutionise mental healthcare.

Brussels, 13 April - The EDPB adopted a dispute resolution decision on the basis of Art. 65 GDPR concerning a draft decision of the IE DPA on the legality of data transfers to the United States by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Meta IE) for its Facebook service. The binding decision addresses important legal questions arising from the draft decision of the Irish DPA as lead supervisory authority (LSA) regarding Meta IE. The EDPB binding decision plays a key role in ensuring the correct and consistent application of the GDPR by the national Data Protection Authorities.
As no consensus was reached on the objections lodged by several DPAs, the EDPB was called upon to settle the dispute between the DPAs within two months.
More specifically, in its binding decision, the EDPB settles the dispute on whether an administrative fine and/or an additional order to bring processing into compliance must be included in the Irish DPA’s final decision.
The LSA shall adopt its final decision, addressed to the controller, on the basis of the EDPB binding decision taking into account the EDPB's legal assessment, at the latest one month after the EDPB has notified its decision. The EDPB will publish its decision on its website after the LSA has notified its national decision to the controller.
The EDPB members discussed the recent enforcement action undertaken by the Italian data protection authority against Open AI about the Chat GPT service.
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.

Trustworthy AI made in the EU: how common values can be a competitive edge
submitted by nicfab to privacy
1 points | 0 comments
As the ethics of AI seem to have become an afterthought superseded by a lack of time for discussion and concerns about anti-competitive effects, it is on the European Parliament to put the trustworthiness of all AI systems developed in the EU back in the centre of the AI Act negotiations.
Inês de Matos Pinto is a legal and digital affairs advisor for the Socialists and Democrats group, and Kai Zenner is head of office and digital policy advisor for MEP Axel Voss.
The views expressed in this article are strictly personal and do represent neither the position of the European Parliament nor that of the S&D or EPP Group.
Ever since the European Parliament began the conversation around AI in 2016, there has been an underlying narrative across all EU Institutions about how regulating this key technology means having a distinctively European approach. A balanced regulatory intervention that effectively protects fundamental rights and promotes citizens’ trust in the uptake of AI while creating legal certainty for businesses and giving them enough leeway to innovate.

MIT CSAIL researchers discuss frontiers of generative AI
submitted by nicfab to privacy
1 points | 0 comments
https://news.mit.edu/2023/mit-csail-researchers-discuss-frontiers-generative-ai-0412
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence has ignited a deep philosophical exploration into the nature of consciousness, creativity, and authorship. As we bear witness to new advances in the field, it’s increasingly apparent that these synthetic agents possess a remarkable capacity to create, iterate, and challenge our traditional notions of intelligence. But what does it really mean for an AI system to be “generative,” with newfound blurred boundaries of creative expression between humans and machines?
For those who feel as if “generative artificial intelligence” — a type of AI that can cook up new and original data or content similar to what it's been trained on — cascaded into existence like an overnight sensation, while indeed the new capabilities have surprised many, the underlying technology has been in the making for some time.
But understanding true capacity can be as indistinct as some of the generative content these models produce. To that end, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) convened in discussions around the capabilities and limitations of generative AI, as well as its potential impacts on society and industries, with regard to language, images, and code.

EU plan for international border data-sharing system “should not proceed”
submitted by nicfab to privacy
2 points | 0 comments
https://www.statewatch.org/news/2023/march/eu-plan-for-international-border-data-sharing-system-should-not-proceed/
The aim of the plan is to allow reciprocal police and border guard access to data for EU member states and non-member states alike. “At present, there is no EU mechanism in place to systematically make critical and actionable partner-country sourced information available directly and in real time to frontline border guards or police officers in the Member States,” says a document published by the Commission (pdf).
Thus, despite a wealth of existing information-sharing schemes – many of which, as the submission points out, have yet to be put into use – the Commission is seeking yet another system, which it says will “ensure increased security in the EU as frontline officers will have direct access to security-related information from partner countries, enabling them to take instant action in case someone representing a threat is located.”

Members of the European Parliament closed several critical parts of the AI regulation at a political meeting on Thursday (13 April), but the prohibited uses of AI could potentially divide the house.
The AI Act is a landmark legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its capacity to cause harm, and while MEPs are approaching a political deal on the file with a key committee vote scheduled for 26 April, the plenary adoption will be challenging.
The most politically sensitive part discussed during the political meeting with all the groups on Thursday was prohibited practices, applications deemed to pose an unacceptable risk. High-risk categorisation, enforcement and governance are largely settled.

Italy’s recent ban on ChatGPT and looming data protection troubles related to the AI chatbot in Germany have sparked Europe-wide debate between those ecstatic about the tool and others who fear its development.
ChatGPT is currently the hot topic on everyone’s lips, especially after Italy became the first country in the European Union to ban the software and launch investigations into the software’s provider OpenAI over alleged General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) breaches and failure to check the age of its users.
OpenAI allegedly processed personal data without informing users and individuals and may lack a legal basis for the extensive data collection used to train its AI models.

The EEA Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) have issued a report on the outcome of the work of the task force that was set up to look into the 101 complaints filed by NGO NOYB in the aftermath of the CJEU Schrems II judgment. The report sets out the common positions of the members of the task force and contains information on the outcomes of the first cases concerned. Among others, several DPAs have ordered website operators to comply with the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR, and if necessary, to stop the transfer at stake.
The task force was set up in September 2020 to promote a consistent approach in the handling of 101 identical complaints lodged by NOYB with EEA DPAs regarding the tools “Google Analytics” and “Facebook Business Tools” on websites, and the subsequent processing of personal data transfers to the U.S.
The positions of the DPAs expressed in this report do not represent the position of the EDPB. In addition, the positions taken do not prejudge the analysis that will have to be made by the DPAs of each complaint and each tool concerned.

Among others, several DPAs have ordered website operators to comply with the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR, and if necessary, to stop the transfer at stake.
The task force was set up in September 2020 to promote a consistent approach in the handling of 101 identical complaints lodged by NOYB with EEA DPAs regarding the tools “Google Analytics” and “Facebook Business Tools” on websites, and the subsequent processing of personal data transfers to the U.S.
The positions of the DPAs expressed in this report do not represent the position of the EDPB. In addition, the positions taken do not prejudge the analysis that will have to be made by the DPAs of each complaint and each tool concerned.
