China published measures on Thursday to manage its booming generative artificial intelligence ( AI ) industry, softening its tone from an earlier draft, and said regulators would seek to support development of the technology. The rules, set to take effect on August 15 and which Beijing described as "interim", come after authorities signalled the end of their years-long crackdown on the tech industry, whose help they seek to spur an economy recovering more slowly than expected after the scrapping of COVID-19 curbs. Analysts said they were far less onerous than measures outlined in an April draft, and that the final rules also took care to stress that China wanted to be supportive of the technology while at the same time ensure security. The Thursday statement from the Cyberspace Administration of China ( CAC ) said only providers who wanted to offer services to the public would need to submit security assessments, suggesting that firms working on enterprise-facing products...

The US Federal Trade Commission has opened an investigation into OpenAI , the maker of ChatGPT , on claims it has run afoul of consumer protection laws by putting personal reputations and data at risk, the Washington Post reported on Thursday. The reported move marks the strongest regulatory threat to the Microsoft -backed startup that kicked off the frenzy in generative artificial intelligence , enthralling consumers and businesses while raising concerns about its potential risks. The FTC this week sent a 20-page demand for records about how OpenAI addresses risks related to its AI models, the Post said, citing a document. The agency is investigating whether the company engaged in unfair or deceptive practices that resulted in "reputational harm" to consumers, the newspaper added. The FTC and OpenAI did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. As the race to develop more powerful AI services accelerates, regulatory scrutiny is growing of the techno...

Alphabet said it is rolling out its artificial- intelligence chatbot, Bard , in Europe and Brazil on Thursday, the product's biggest expansion since its February launch and pitting it against Microsoft-backed rival ChatGPT. Bard and ChatGPT are human-sounding programs that use generative artificial intelligence to hold conversations with users and answer myriad prompts. The products have touched off global excitement tempered with caution. Companies have jumped onto the AI bandwagon, investing billions with the hope of generating much more in advertising and cloud revenue. Earlier this week, billionaire Elon Musk also launched his long-teased artificial-intelligence startup xAI , whose team includes several former engineers at Google, Microsoft and OpenAI . Google has also now added new features to Bard, which apply worldwide. "Starting today, you can collaborate with Bard in over 40 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, German, Hindi and Spanish," Google senior...
