Apple to break AI silence at developers conference

At Apple's WWDC developers' conference, the company will focus on its AI strategy and potentially announce a partnership with OpenAI.

Amid Outcry From Startups, Centre Exempts Healthcare, Agri Platforms From New AI Advisory

The Indian Minister of Information Technology has clarified that the country's new mandates for AI models will not apply to startups and certain sector-specific platforms, such as healthcare and agriculture. The minister emphasized the importance of proper training for AI models to ensure the safety of citizens and democracy. The directives are not meant to be a regulatory framework but rather an advisory for platforms to test their AI models before launching. The advisory, issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, requires platforms to seek prior approval for AI products and warns of penalties for non-compliance. However, some AI startup founders have criticized the advisory as demotivating.

From sci-fi to state law: California’s plan to prevent AI catastrophe

California's proposed bill, SB-1047, aims to regulate the safety of large artificial intelligence (AI) models. The bill requires companies behind AI models with significant training costs to implement testing procedures and systems to prevent and respond to safety incidents. These incidents are defined as AI systems enabling critical harms leading to mass casualties or significant damage. While some argue that the bill is necessary to prevent future AI threats, critics suggest that it focuses too much on fictional concerns and could hinder technological advancements.

America’s big AI safety plan faces a budget crunch

A budget crunch is delaying US President Joe Biden's plan for AI safety. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), responsible for setting standards for stress-testing AI systems, lacks the necessary funds to complete the work independently by the 2024 deadline. Congress members are concerned that NIST will rely heavily on private companies with a vested interest in shaping standards. The lawmakers also express concerns about the rushed definition of AI standards and insufficient transparency in NIST's award decisions. NIST is seeking input from external experts and companies to evaluate and red-team AI models.

UK's online safety law is putting free speech at risk, X says - The Economic Times

Social media platform X criticized the UK's Online Safety Act, claiming it threatens free speech through excessive regulation.
