OpenAI developed the popular chatbot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/chatgpt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a>, which has created intense interest in the possibilities of generative AI, the technology that produces text or images in response to a user&#8217;s prompts.<\/p>\n<p>Nick Clegg, Meta&#8217;s president of global affairs, said his company \u201cshared our support for the objectives of the AI Pact. While we need to study the details, we recognize it&#8217;s important for tech companies to be open about the work they&#8217;re doing on AI &amp; engage collaboratively across the industry, governments &amp; civil society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The discussions on Friday were part of Breton&#8217;s tour this week of technology companies. After his visit to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/meta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meta<\/a>, Breton said the owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/instagram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> appears well-prepared to meet Europe&#8217;s new strict content moderation rules, but will submit to a stress test of its systems next month.<\/p>\n<p>Meta presented \u201ca lot of information\u201d about its work to comply with the European Union&#8217;s Digital Services Act, but were also happy to take a stress test \u201cnot to forget anything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg agreed to a test in mid-July to assess how the company handles content moderation rules. Breton said Meta has roughly 1,000 people working on DSA implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Meta&#8217;s CEO was interested in a future test of how the company&#8217;s platforms will handle upcoming competition rules set out by the EU&#8217;s Digital Markets Act. Companies have to self-report as gatekeepers with certain core platform services on July 3.<\/p>\n<p>Breton also said he urged Zuckerberg to increase resources fighting disinformation, especially Russian disinformation in Eastern European countries about the war in Ukraine. And he discussed a report from the Wall Street Journal about child predators targeting kids on Meta&#8217;s Instagram photo-sharing site.<\/p>\n<p>Clegg, in a tweet, called it a \u201cconstructive\u201d conversation. \u201cWe&#8217;ve invited his team to our Dublin campus to see how we&#8217;re stress-testing our processes ahead of implementation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Breton discussed artificial intelligence with Jensen Huang, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/nvidia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nvidia<\/a>, the world&#8217;s most-valuable chipmaker, which leads the market in supplying processors for AI. After the sit-down, Huang told reporters it was \u201cextremely likely\u201d that Nvidia would invest in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Breton met with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> owner Elon Musk and new CEO Linda Yaccarino and told reporters that the social media site needs to put more resources toward addressing sensitive content if it wants to comply with the EU&#8217;s rules ahead of an August deadline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a9 Thomson Reuters 2023\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"downloadtxt\"><i>Affiliate links may be automatically generated &#8211; see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/ethics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ethics statement<\/a> for details.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/internet\/news\/meta-openai-ceo-support-eu-regulation-artificial-inteliigence-4148827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Technology company executives Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman expressed support for government oversight of artificial intelligence after discussions with European Commission Thierry Breton.
