It’s still pretty early in the year but the disruptive power of general purpose AI (GPAI) already looks cemented as the big tech story of 2023, with tech giants including Microsoft and Google duking it out to fast-follow OpenAI’s viral conversational chatbot, ChatGPT by productizing large language models (LLM) in interfaces of their own — such as OpenAI investor Microsoft’s search with AI combo, New Bing; or Google’s conversational search offering, Bard AI, shown off in preview earlier this month as it’s scrambled to respond to Remond’s challenge to the online search cash-cow.

On 23 February, The Commission presented a set of actions aimed to make Gigabit connectivity available to all citizens and businesses across the EU by 2030.
The intiatives keep in line with the objectives of Europe's Digital Decade, and to enable the transformation of the connectivity sector in the EU. They consist of:
* An adopted proposal for a ‘Gigabit Infrastructure Act', a regulation that will put forward new rules to enable faster, cheaper and more effective rollout of Gigabit networks across the EU.
* A draft Gigabit Recommendation, which seeks to provide guidance to National Regulatory Authorities on the conditions of access to telecom networks of operators with significant market power, in order to incentivise faster switch-off of legacy technologies and accelerated Gigabit networks deployment.
* The Commission has also launched an exploratory consultation on the future of the connectivity sector and its infrastructure, to gather views on how increasing demands for connectivity and technological advances may affect the future developments and needs.

A hacker group that goes by CH01 defaced a series of Russian websites on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.
The hackers replaced the sites’ content with a video showing the Kremlin on fire, along with a song by a Russian rock band named Kino. The video also includes a QR code that links to a Telegram channel, where the hackers posted a message claiming responsibility for the attacks and making it clear that these defacements were politically motivated.

The encrypted-messaging app Signal has said it would stop providing services in the UK if a new law undermined encryption.
If forced to weaken the privacy of its messaging system under the Online Safety Bill, the organisation "would absolutely, 100% walk" Signal president Meredith Whittaker told the BBC.
The government said its proposal was not "a ban on end-to-end encryption".

This document is addressed to all applicants of certification criteria and aims to streamline and facilitate the adoption of EDPB Opinions on certification criteria by clarifying the approval process of national and EU-wide certification criteria, as well as criteria for certification meant as tools for international transfers.
More precisely, this document introduces all the steps that the Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) need to take from the moment they receive the criteria from the scheme owners to the moment they communicate to the EDPB Chair whether they intend to follow the EDPB Opinion.

The Swedish presidency of the EU Council has circulated a new compromise text, obtained by EURACTIV, touching upon the relation with other EU laws, the notifying authorities, enforcement and penalties.
The Cyber Resilience Act is a legislative proposal to introduce baseline cybersecurity requirements for connected devices going through the ordinary legislative process.
The partial compromise results from the discussion held on 15 February in a meeting of the Horizontal Working Party on Cyber Issues, a technical body of the EU Council of ministers. The new document will be discussed at a technical meeting on Wednesday (1 March).
The changes to the text are not particularly significant, signalling that the discussions in the Council might not be mature enough to tackle more sensitive issues like the delegated powers of the European Commission and the timeline for the regulation’s entry into force.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to support humans daily, assist with routine tasks, and advance human knowledge. It has great potential to improve patient outcomes and healthcare systems.
Alexander Olbrechts is Director Digital Health at MedTech Europe.
AI solutions are found in wearables or imaging devices that help predict heart failures, continuously monitor glucose levels, skin cancer self-scanning solutions, or personalised apps that provide ad-hoc counselling to help change health-related behaviour. It is also used in robot-assisted surgeries and to optimise clinical trials by using real-world data in patient recruitment. A recent study commissioned by MedTech Europe showed that AI in healthcare could save around 400 000 lives annually and up to 200 billion Euros in Europe.
