A draft report from the U.N.'s advisory group, including notable figures like Spain's ex-AI minister Carme Artigas and OpenAI's Mira Murati, proposes a global AI Office to fill gaps and ensure coherence in AI policy, a move met with skepticism from Western nations and concerns over potentially advancing China's agenda. https://lnkd.in/gDiuujBM 3️⃣ Tech industry teams up to set AI security standards A new coalition of leading tech companies, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenAI, has been formed to establish cybersecurity and safety standards for AI tools. Announced at the Aspen Security Forum, the Coalition For Secure AI will focus on creating standards for software supply chain security, measuring AI tool risks, and developing frameworks for secure AI implementation, marking the first industry-wide collaboration on AI security issues. https://lnkd.in/gtm7nxzu 4️⃣ Meta puts a halt to training its generative AI tools in Brazil Meta has suspended its AI assistant in Brazil following a ban by the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) on training AI models using personal data from Brazilians, impacting Facebook's AI expansion in the 200-million-person market. The ANPD cited "imminent risk of serious harm" and imposed a daily fine for non-compliance, while Meta confirmed the suspension and expressed intent to address the ANPD's concerns. https://lnkd.in/gFBbBvQq #ResponsibleAI #AI #AIPolicy #AIGovernance #AINews #GenAI #AIRegulation
