This weekend marks a monumental shift in nuclear energy development: the formation of a powerful multinational alliance to create new and innovative supply chains, juxtaposed with the shutdown of Germany's last three nuclear plants. Reduce reliance on Russian supply chains, amend long-term options and enhance resiliency of nuclear fuel supplies—the changing landscape could have lasting impacts worldwide.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT has seen immense success since its launch late last year, with 100 million users worldwide. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has set up a task force to create regulations for this AI platform, following recent privacy-related bans in Italy and Germany. The Spanish and French data protection agencies have also started an investigation, with five complaints from French users, one of which was from an MP. EDPB's move to protect user’s data while promoting AI technology is commendable.

As the European Union debates instituting a ban on certain chatbots, the conversation around AI regulation has taken center stage, fueled by the Italian data protection authority's decision to temporarily ban OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot. OpenAI has since strengthened its privacy commitment, as Spain and France join the debate on the proposed AI Act. Questions still abound as to whether ChatGPT falls under this proposed regulation; however, all parties agree that the positive properties of AI in a digital society should be embraced, with an eye towards the need for accountability.

The EDPB has formed a task force to look into the implications of ChatGPT, the world's largest AI technology with over 100 million monthly users. The aim is to create coordinated data privacy policies, as other countries have also taken action to investigate potential data violations by ChatGPT.
