TLDR: Representative Ritchie Torres is introducing legislation that would mandate disclaimers for generative AI products, aiming to address concerns about fraud and maintain healthy political discourse.
The bill is part of a broader effort by Congress to regulate AI, recognizing its potential for both societal advancement and harm. A bipartisan group of senators, including Chuck Schumer, is also working on comprehensive AI legislation.
The proposed legislation requires generative AI outputs to include a disclaimer stating they were generated by artificial intelligence, with enforcement falling under the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission.
Torres emphasizes the need for AI regulation and sees disclosure as a fundamental step towards addressing the challenges posed by AI, acknowledging that it is just the beginning of a longer regulatory journey. The bill's details are expected to be included in a larger legislative package.

TLDR: Japan's privacy watchdog has issued a warning to OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed startup behind ChatGPT, cautioning against the collection of sensitive data without proper permission.
The warning follows Japan's contentious decision not to enforce copyrights on data used in AI training, allowing AI systems to utilize various data sources for both non-profit and commercial purposes.
As regulators globally work to establish rules for generative AI, Japan is making high-impact decisions that impact the balance of privacy concerns with the potential benefits of AI, including innovation acceleration and addressing challenges like climate change.
