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

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 Guidelines analyse the various aspects of the right of access and provide more precise guidance on how the right of access has to be implemented in different situations. Among others, the Guidelines provide clarifications on the scope of the right of access, the information the controller has to provide to the data subject, the format of the access request, the main modalities for providing access, and the notion of manifestly unfounded or excessive requests. Following public consultation, the guidelines were updated and further clarifications were added on different aspects that were brought up in the consultation.

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.

The European Parliament is set to propose stricter rules for foundation models like ChatGPT and distinguish them from general purpose AI, according to an advanced compromise text seen by EURACTIV.
The AI Act is a landmark EU legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its capacity to cause harm. As AI solutions designed to handle a wide variety of tasks were not covered in the original proposal, the meteoric rise of ChatGPT has brutally disrupted the debate, leading to delays.
Although the file is close to finalisation, on Wednesday (19 April), the political meeting meant to certify an agreement was turned into a technical discussion on this part of the file, leading to the postponement of the key committee vote originally scheduled for 26 April.
Meanwhile, a revised text circulated Thursday indicates that MEPs are close to finalising their approach to ChatGPT and similar applications.

Parliament endorsed the first EU rules to trace crypto-asset transfers, prevent money laundering, as well as common rules on supervision and customer protection.
On Thursday, MEPs approved with 529 votes in favour to 29 against and 14 abstentions, the first piece of EU legislation for tracing transfers of crypto-assets like bitcoins and electronic money tokens. The text –which was provisionally agreed by Parliament and Council negotiators in June 2022- aims to ensure that crypto transfers, as is the case with any other financial operation, can always be traced and suspicious transactions blocked. The so-called “travel rule”, already used in traditional finance, will in future cover transfers of crypto assets. Information on the source of the asset and its beneficiary will have to “travel” with the transaction and be stored on both sides of the transfer.
