In response to a complaint stating that OpenAIs ChatGPT chatbot violates European Union data protection regulations GDPR, Polands data authority is looking into the company supported by Microsoft. OpenAI should have rectified incorrect information produced by ChatGPT and not dodged questions about how they handled their processed personal data, as claimed in the complaint. A classaction complaint alleging claimed breaches of privacy laws against OpenAI was launched in San Francisco, prompting this inquiry. Microsoft and OpenAI are two tech companies sued for using personal information and copyrighted content for AI training. ChatGPT had amassed 100 million users two months after its inception, largely thanks to Microsofts significant funding. Read More..

UK Government Urges Meta to Halt Encryption Plans Amid Child Safety Concerns

The UK government is pleading with Meta, a platform owned by Mark Zuckerberg, to postpone its plans to roll out encrypted communications, saying doing

The UK government is pleading with Meta, a platform owned by Mark Zuckerberg, to postpone its plans to roll out encrypted communications, saying doing so will enable child predators to "hide in the dark." To raise awareness of the need for safety measures to identify child abuse activity in encrypted messages, the Home Office launched a campaign with a survivors letter to Zuckerberg. According to the National Crime Agency, encrypting Instagram and Messenger chats might drastically lower abuse reports. Suella Braverman, the UK Home Secretary, argues that Meta must ensure that children are secure. Privacy concerns continue as the internet safety measure, which might influence encryption, moves through parliament. Read More..

Eurozone Inflation Surges, European Central Bank Faces Tough Decision on Rate Hikes

The risk of "stagflation" brought on by high inflation brought on by rising oil prices, according to economist Nouriel Roubini, should be avoided by t

The risk of "stagflation" brought on by high inflation brought on by rising oil prices, according to economist Nouriel Roubini, should be avoided by the European Central Bank ECB and the Bank of England BOE continuing to raise interest rates. Given the UKs rate of 5.25%, Roubini advises the BOE to increase rates to 5.75%. He expresses concern that inflation expectations would become less stable due to the BOEs uncertainty regarding additional rate increases. High inflation is a problem that the UK and the eurozone are dealing with, making decisionmaking difficult. The US, in comparison, may experience a rate reduction slower than the market anticipates due to its more solid economic outlook. Roubini recognises the difficulties that high rates bring.

EU Leaders Sound Alarm Over Chinas Grip on Batteries and Fuel Cells

A study prepared for EU leaders warned that the EU may become overly dependent on China for fuel cells and lithiumion batteries by 2030, similar to how it was previously with regard to energy. EU leaders will discuss diversifying into Africa and Latin America to address this issue. The analysis underlines the growing need for energy storage induced by intermittent renewable sources to attain netzero carbon emissions by 2050. While China is a major supplier of fuel cells and lithiumion batteries, the EU dominates the manufacture of electrolysers. Failure to take action might result in a severe problem with a foreign dependency that would affect several industries, including agriculture and digital technology, and impede productivity and attempts to combat climate change.

Oil prices are currently on direction to surpass $100 per barrel for the first time in 2023, after climbing over 30% since June due to Russian and Saudi Arabian production cutbacks and soaring Chinese demand.
