"With about 20 states with a consumer privacy law (plus a growing number of subject-specific state privacy laws), the landscape is becoming unwieldy. But the laws share a lot of similarities, so it's far from total madness." ~ Daniel Solove https://lnkd.in/gsVfFT4Y

“He won’t have to wait until 2001, he will have [a computer] in his own house. Not [one] as big as this, but at least a console through which he can talk to his friendly local computer and get all the information he needs for his everyday life…” ~ Arthur C. Clarke (1974) From the ABC #Archives

The Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company DeepSeek has rattled the tech industry with the release of free, cheaply made AI models that compete with the best US products such as ChatGPT. Why are governments and security experts so concerned? The main issue is the app is made in China and stores data there - which is vulnerable to Chinese cyber criminals and subject to Chinese law. https://lnkd.in/gEWhee4f #AI #deepseek #chatbots #informationgovernance #privacy #informationsecurity #cybersecurity #cybercrime #databreach #dataprotection #datasovereignty

"On December 20, OpenAI’s o3 system scored 85% on the ARC-AGI benchmark, well above the previous AI best score of 55% and on par with the average human score. It also scored well on a very difficult mathematics test. We don’t know exactly how OpenAI has done it, but the results suggest the o3 model is highly adaptable. From just a few examples, it finds rules that can be generalised. Truly understanding the potential of o3 will require extensive work, including evaluations, an understanding of the distribution of its capacities, how often it fails and how often it succeeds." https://lnkd.in/eVUZeGvv #AI #artificialintelligence #AGI

LinkedIn is facing a class action lawsuit in the United States over the alleged use of data from paid users to train third party artificial intelligence systems. The class action has sought $1,600 ($US1,000) per user for the alleged violations. LinkedIn denied the allegations in the class action, in a statement to Information Age. “We have not provided InMail messages to third parties for AI training purposes,” a LinkedIn spokesperson said. Several big tech companies have used posts made by users to train their own AI models, including Meta and Slack. https://lnkd.in/gxbswymd #AI #artificialintelligence #ethicalAI #responsibleAI #informationgovernance #privacy #dataprotection #infonomics

A newly translated papyrus found in Israel provides information about criminal cases and slave ownership in the Roman Empire. The researchers found that the papyrus contained a set of notes that a prosecutor may have used to prepare for a trial in front of Roman officials during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (A.D. 117 to 138) and before the Bar Kokhba revolt began in A.D. 132 — a major Jewish uprising against the Roman Empire. The court case referenced in the papyrus text centered on two people — Gadalias and Saulos — who forged documents related to selling and freeing slaves to get around paying Roman taxes. https://lnkd.in/gbXiNDxZ #archives #records #recordsmanagement #informationgovernance #history #romanhistory
