Read full article about: Congress issues new ChatGPT guidelines focused on privacy

The House of Representatives is implementing new guidelines for congressional offices using ChatGPT, according to a memo issued by Chief Administrative Officer Catherine L. Szpindor.

Staffers will only be allowed to use the $20-per-month ChatGPT Plus, which offers better privacy with an option not to store chats used to train the AI. They should only enter "non-sensitive" data and never "blocks of text that have not already been made public." Use is limited to "research and evaluation only," and offices must enable privacy settings.

Read full article about: Key OpenAI employees join Google - Report

German broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR24) reports that OpenAI is losing key employees to Google. Some of these employees have already resigned and signed contracts with Google. Others will do so in the coming days. The BR says that its information comes from interviews with former and current OpenAI employees.

The disgruntled employees are reportedly unhappy with the development of ChatGPT and the rapid growth from about 100 to 600 employees since December 2022. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is criticized for having only a "superficial understanding" without much involvement in day-to-day operations. Supposedly self-critical narratives about the risks of AI and the associated call for regulation are just political show, reports BR24.
