EU and Canada on waiting list for Google's AI chatbot Bard
Google's AI-powered internet search chatbot, Bard, isn't available for netizens in the EU and Canada.
Experts are concerned that the tools can extract personal information leaked on the internet, and it's not clear how they use and store any data that is processed. They may indeed be violating the EU's GDPR laws.suggests companies building Bard-like chatbots will be subject to rules that require they disclose any outputs generated by AI, and roll out filters that prevent them from producing illegal or copyrighted content.
Cybersecurity biz Kaspersky searched for posts on the dark net looking for developers to generate deepfakes mimicking targets like celebrities or politicians, and found they can charge anywhere from $300 to $20,000 depending on complexity of the job. Analysts found that miscreants often wanted them to make fake content promoting cryptocurrency scams, or crack into people's online accounts – or, of course, for pornography.
The security vendor also said, however, it was optimistic that tools detecting whether a video is authentic will eventually become widely available to tackle fraud, identity theft, and disinformation.
