The invention of ChatGPT chatbot by OpenAI is causing controversy in the education sector. While some see it as a tool for enhancing teaching and learning, others argue it promotes cheating and raises ethical concerns. In South Africa, where poor education standards are an issue, policies and monitoring measures are needed to ensure the chatbot is used responsibly and effectively.
The EU is introducing the AI Act to address privacy risks and bans on discriminatory practices. The law categorizes risk and requires transparency. It could influence how the US and other countries create their regulatory systems around AI.
The European Parliament has approved a mandate for the AI Act, which sets a rulebook for AI that aligns with EU's values of transparency, safety, and privacy. The act bans remote biometric surveillance and predictive policing and expands high-risk AI systems classification. MEPs also imposed stringent obligations on developers and added consumer rights. However, AI recognition systems emoting won't be banned. The next step is Trilogue, where discussions between EU Member States and the Parliament will take place. Overwhelming support from Parliament shows urgent need for regulations on AI.
