Italy’s recent ban on ChatGPT and looming data protection troubles related to the AI chatbot in Germany have sparked Europe-wide debate between those ecstatic about the tool and others who fear its development.
ChatGPT is currently the hot topic on everyone’s lips, especially after Italy became the first country in the European Union to ban the software and launch investigations into the software’s provider OpenAI over alleged General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) breaches and failure to check the age of its users.
OpenAI allegedly processed personal data without informing users and individuals and may lack a legal basis for the extensive data collection used to train its AI models.

Following public consultation, the EDPB has adopted a final version of the Guidelines on data subject rights - Right of access. The Guidelines analyse the various aspects of the right of access and provide more precise guidance on how the right of access has to be implemented in different situations. Among others, the Guidelines provide clarifications on the scope of the right of access, the information the controller has to provide to the data subject, the format of the access request, the main modalities for providing access, and the notion of manifestly unfounded or excessive requests. Following public consultation, the guidelines were updated and further clarifications were added on different aspects that were brought up in the consultation. Furthermore, some minor editorial adjustments were made to ensure consistency of different concepts.

A dozen European Union (EU) politicians have signed a letter calling for the “safe” development of artificial intelligence (AI) as Google’s CEO cautioned against releasing powerful AI tech before society has had a chance to adapt.
An April 16 open letter shared on Twitter by EU Parliament member, Dragoș Tudorache, called for a collaborative effort and a universal set of rules around the development of AI.
Tudorache, along with 11 other EU politicians named in the letter, asked the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and United States President Joe Biden to convene a summit on AI and to agree on a set of governing principles for the development, control and deployment of the tech.

The EEA Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) have issued a report on the outcome of the work of the task force that was set up to look into the 101 complaints filed by NGO NOYB in the aftermath of the CJEU Schrems II judgment. The report sets out the common positions of the members of the task force and contains information on the outcomes of the first cases concerned. Among others, several DPAs have ordered website operators to comply with the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR, and if necessary, to stop the transfer at stake.
The task force was set up in September 2020 to promote a consistent approach in the handling of 101 identical complaints lodged by NOYB with EEA DPAs regarding the tools “Google Analytics” and “Facebook Business Tools” on websites, and the subsequent processing of personal data transfers to the U.S.
The positions of the DPAs expressed in this report do not represent the position of the EDPB. In addition, the positions taken do not prejudge the analysis that will have to be made by the DPAs of each complaint and each tool concerned.

AI Act: MEPs close in on rules for general purpose AI, foundation models

https://www.euractiv.com/section/artificial-intelligence/news/ai-act-meps-close-in-on-rules-for-general-purpose-ai-foundation-models/
The European Parliament is set to propose stricter rules for foundation models like ChatGPT and distinguish them from general purpose AI, according to an advanced compromise text seen by EURACTIV.
The AI Act is a landmark EU legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its capacity to cause harm. As AI solutions designed to handle a wide variety of tasks were not covered in the original proposal, the meteoric rise of ChatGPT has brutally disrupted the debate, leading to delays.
Although the file is close to finalisation, on Wednesday (19 April), the political meeting meant to certify an agreement was turned into a technical discussion on this part of the file, leading to the postponement of the key committee vote originally scheduled for 26 April.
Meanwhile, a revised text circulated Thursday indicates that MEPs are close to finalising their approach to ChatGPT and similar applications.

Crypto-assets: green light to new rules for tracing transfers in the EU

Parliament endorsed the first EU rules to trace crypto-asset transfers, prevent money laundering, as well as common rules on supervision and customer protection.
On Thursday, MEPs approved with 529 votes in favour to 29 against and 14 abstentions, the first piece of EU legislation for tracing transfers of crypto-assets like bitcoins and electronic money tokens. The text –which was provisionally agreed by Parliament and Council negotiators in June 2022- aims to ensure that crypto transfers, as is the case with any other financial operation, can always be traced and suspicious transactions blocked. The so-called “travel rule”, already used in traditional finance, will in future cover transfers of crypto assets. Information on the source of the asset and its beneficiary will have to “travel” with the transaction and be stored on both sides of the transfer.

https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC132724
Abstract: This report provides an overview of the robotics industry in Europe, as well as a description of the definitions, typologies and main differences between industrial and service robots. The aim is to build up a stronger and updated knowledge of research questions, approaches and data that scholars and policy makers could use to study robotics around the world, and more specifically in Europe. It also identifies the necessary actions to merge heterogeneous data into a meaningful and consistent dataset to estimate the EU shares of robotics from the demand and supply perspectives, and for both industrial and service robots. Complementing these data with other sources to enhance the value and significance of the overall estimation exercise of the EU robotics market shares, provides a comprehensive overview of the production and adoption sides for both industrial and service robots. The three main objectives of the report are: to build a dataset including the market shares of robots in the EU; to describe the main trends that can be extracted from data; and, to sketch a conceptual framework to contextualise the results from the first two objectives.

Lazarus Subgroup Targeting Apple Devices with New RustBucket macOS Malware

https://thehackernews.com/2023/04/lazarus-subgroup-targeting-apple.html
A financially-motivated North Korean threat actor is suspected to be behind a new Apple macOS malware strain called RustBucket.
"[RustBucket] communicates with command and control (C2) servers to download and execute various payloads," Jamf Threat Labs researchers Ferdous Saljooki and Jaron Bradley said in a technical report published last week.
The Apple device management company attributed it to a threat actor known as BlueNoroff, a subgroup within the infamous Lazarus cluster that's also tracked under the monikers APT28, Nickel Gladstone, Sapphire Sleet, Stardust Chollima, and TA444.
The connections stem from tactical and infrastructure overlaps with a prior campaign exposed by Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky in late December 2022 likely aimed at Japanese financial entities using fake domains impersonating venture capital firms.
