Read full article about: Japan allows limited use of AI in schools

The Japanese Ministry of Education has issued guidelines allowing the limited use of generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT in elementary, middle and high schools.

The guidelines call for special caution in its use by elementary school students (under the age of 13). In addition, submitting purely AI-generated schoolwork as a personal submission is considered cheating. Students should not enter personal information and should respect copyright laws.

The guidelines are preliminary and allow for limited use. In the fall, the Education Department plans to select a number of middle and high schools to test the use of AI and revise the guidelines based on the results.

Recently, the Hong Kong Department of Education unveiled an AI curriculum.

Read full article about: Google updates its privacy policy for the age of AI web scraping

Google updated its privacy policy, stating it reserves the right to scrape the internet for data to build its AI tools, such as Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities.

The practice goes beyond traditional policies covering the company's use of data posted on its services and extends to all public internet content. This approach could lead to legal battles over copyright, as courts may have to address issues surrounding AI scraping. Twitter and Reddit have taken steps to protect intellectual property by limiting third-party access to their APIs.

Google uses information to improve our services and to develop new products, features and technologies that benefit our users and the public. For example, we use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models and build products and features like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities.

The European Union is seeking closer cooperation with Japan on key technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors as part of its strategy to reduce dependence on China. EU Commissioner Thierry Breton is meeting with the Japanese government to discuss an EU-Japan Digital Partnership Council, focusing on sectors such as quantum computing and AI. The move is part of the EU's plan to "de-risk" from China and deepen ties with technology allies.

Read full article about: Nvidia shows interest in smaller AI models that run on local hardware

In February, Nvidia acquired OmniML, a two-year-old AI startup known for developing software that compresses machine learning models to run seamlessly on devices instead of in the cloud.

The acquisition could signal Nvidia's intent to improve its AI chips for cars, industrial robots, and drones, and potentially shrink the size of AI software to allow chatbots to run on devices instead of data centers. OmniML has demonstrated significant improvements in model performance and cost savings across multiple industries, running machine learning tasks 10 times faster on a variety of hardware devices. The acquisition is confirmed by the startup's LinkedIn profile and The Information.
