Tech  GitHub, Hugging Face, hinihimok ang EU na i-relax ang mga panuntunan sa open-source AI  6 minuto ang nakalipas  Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  An open letter from GitHub, Hugging Face, Creative Commons and other tech firms are calling the European Union to ease upcoming rules for open-source artificial intelligence models.  The letter urges policymakers to review some of the provisions of the EUs Artificial Intelligence Act, claiming that regulating upstream open-source projects as if they are commercial products or deployed AI systems would hinder open source AI development. “This would be incompatible with open source development practices and counter to the needs of individual developers and non-profit research organizations,” noted GitHub in a blog post.  In particular, the group provided five suggestions to ensure that the AI Act works for open source models, including defining AI components clearly, clarifying that collaborative development on open source models does not subject developers to the bill requirements, ensuring researchers exceptions by permitting limited testing in real-world conditions, and setting proportional requirements for “foundation models.”  As the term implies, open source software is software that can be inspected, modified, and enhanced by anyone because its source code is publicly accessible.

If approved, the government would be authorized to mandate messaging companies to create backdoors and require detailed reports of users online activity.  As the bill approaches approval in UKs highest chamber, the House of Lords, there are concerns about its potential consequences for global privacy and encryption standards.  The bills critics argue that this approach may have implications for private conversations and could raise concerns about surveillance vulnerabilities.  Stakeholders like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) have expressed reservations about the OSB, raising potential challenges to online privacy and security. The EFF has emphasized the difficulty of maintaining end-to-end encryption while implementing government-mandated message-scanning technology.  Leading encrypted messaging platforms, including WhatsApp, Signal, and UK-based Element, have also conveyed their concerns through an open letter earlier this year. They highlighted how the bills provisions could lead to broader and indiscriminate surveillance of personal messages, affecting various individuals, including journalists, human rights activists, and politicians.

After laying off 122 employees in the latest round, ATMTA CEO Michael Wagner said in a letter that a core team of 45 people would remain. That team, Wagner said, will focus on building Star Atlas, an upcoming blockchain-based game.

Even with the recovery in January of a sizable portion of those funds, our runway was greatly reduced,” Wagner wrote in his letter.
