Tech bytes of June 2023, Latest in AI: Regulation, Commentary, and Threats

In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), there have been some fascinating advances this month. Here is all you need to know about laws, criticism, and threats.


The AI Act of the European Union was put to a vote by parliamentarians this month. One of the first important attempts to control the developing industry is being made here. The act intends to establish a legal framework for AI and guarantee its ethical and responsible usage. The act lays out guidelines for the creation and application of AI systems, as well as calls for responsibility and transparency. Additionally, it creates a European AI Board to direct member states and supervise the act's implementation.



Next, Wimbledon will have AI-powered commentary starting next month. This means that sports analysts who believed they were immune to the generative AI's growing influence should reconsider. Throughout the contests, the technology will offer real-time analysis and insights. The AI-powered commentary system will be able to assess player performance and offer thorough data and insights in real-time using sophisticated algorithms and machine learning techniques.



Finally, news publishers are uniting in response to the challenge posed by AI. Industry leaders are quietly negotiating with companies like OpenAI and Microsoft to get paid for their content while also publicly raising the alarm. Robert Thomson, CEO of News Corp., has cautioned that "we need to be more collectively assertive." Publishers are worried about the possible effects of the advent of AI-powered content generation on their companies. They hope that by uniting, they can bargain with digital corporations for improved conditions and guarantee that their work is adequately compensated.



That concludes the AI tech bytes for this month. Watch this space for further developments!
