Against the backdrop of Trump's return to the White House, top entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley are quietly becoming key technological advisors to the president. Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and David Sacks are among those strategizing for Trump, with their most notable point being their strong criticism of AI regulation. This group of tech elites believes that AI chatbots are emerging as a new ideological battleground. Their core concern is that large tech companies may use AI systems to propagate specific political positions, achieving a more covert and effective form of 'regulation'.

The Italian Data Protection Authority (GPDP) recently issued a warning to local media group GEDI, indicating that its collaboration agreement with OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, may violate EU privacy protection laws. According to this agreement, GEDI plans to provide its Italian language news content to ChatGPT subscribers, while OpenAI may use GEDI's news archives to enhance the accuracy of its products. The GPDP stressed that GEDI's digital archive contains a significant amount of personal information, including numerous details and even sensitive data.

Recently, the WHEE platform introduced a new feature called 'IP Character Customization,' designed to help users convert 2D images into 3D models with one click and create their own unique IP characters. This innovative tool not only simplifies the transition from 2D to 3D but also provides users with limitless creative possibilities, allowing them to expand into more application scenarios.

In today's rapidly advancing era of artificial intelligence technology, AI regulation in the United States finds itself in an extremely chaotic time. With the Trump administration about to take office, its hands-off approach to tech regulation is driving a dramatic regulatory struggle. Currently, the landscape of AI regulation in the U.S. resembles a fragmented puzzle: there is a lack of unified policy at the federal level, states are acting independently, and some areas lack clear rules altogether. This regulatory vacuum is creating an arena filled with uncertainty and risks for tech giants. The Trump team is considering appointing an 'AI Tsar'...

With Trump's election as President of the United States, his administration is expected to attempt to ease regulations on self-driving cars, a news that caused Tesla's stock price to rise by over 5% on Monday. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has been actively promoting the launch of its 'Robot Taxi' service, aimed at competing with rivals like Waymo, a subsidiary of Google's parent company Alphabet. The market is optimistic about the Trump administration's intentions to lower the regulatory barriers for self-driving cars, resulting in excited investors buying Tesla shares.

Recently, a group of tech giants and venture capitalists jointly issued a statement opposing California Senator Scott Wiener’s SB1047 bill. This bill aims to strengthen the regulation of artificial intelligence, prompting strong opposition from the tech industry. Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, co-founders of Andreessen Horowitz, along with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

Recently, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed the highly anticipated SB1047 bill, which aimed to regulate the development of large AI models. This decision has sparked extensive debate in the tech and political arenas. SB1047, proposed by State Senator Scott Wiener, required companies developing AI models with a cost of at least $100 million and utilizing 10^26 FLOPS of computational power to implement safety protocols. The bill was passed by the California legislature but faced backlash from figures including OpenAI and Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) introduced new requirements in the field of corporate compliance, particularly concerning the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As more businesses begin to leverage AI technology, this new regulation undoubtedly adds extra pressure on compliance officers. Companies now need to carefully consider the legal risks associated with AI, or else they may face hefty fines.

Recently, a spokesperson for Meta stated that the company will not immediately join the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Convention. This convention serves as a temporary measure to help businesses prepare for the upcoming regulations before the full implementation of the EU's AI Act. It is worth mentioning that this AI Act was approved by EU legislators in May of this year and is the world's first regulation specifically targeting the development and deployment of artificial intelligence. Under this act, companies will be required to provide a summary of the data used to train their AI models.

Recently, the Israeli Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology announced the establishment of a National Artificial Intelligence Expert Forum aimed at providing the government with policy and regulatory advice on artificial intelligence. This forum will bring together experts from academia, industry, and various social organizations to collaboratively discuss how to promote the safe use of artificial intelligence to foster innovation and maximize its social and economic benefits.

The forum's main task is to assist in formulating government strategies and policies, particularly in innovation support.

Recently, the United Nations released a report proposing that the organization take more proactive measures in the monitoring and regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The report emphasizes that as AI technology develops and is applied more widely, its potential impacts and risks are becoming increasingly evident. Therefore, the UN believes that greater attention needs to be paid to the governance of AI, viewing it as an urgent global issue akin to climate change.

The US Department of Commerce has proposed reporting requirements for companies developing cutting-edge AI models and firms providing infrastructure, in response to the Biden administration's executive order on 'safe, reliable, and trustworthy artificial intelligence development and usage.' Key elements of the new regulations include: AI models with over 10^26 integer or floating-point operations must report, with the threshold for biological sequence data models set at 10^23; there is a requirement to disclose model capabilities, information security protections, and red team testing results to ensure AI technologies meet safety standards, protecting against cyberattacks and misuse by non-state actors.

California has passed new legislation AB1836, which requires explicit consent from the estates of deceased performers before creating AI replicas for various digital representations in films, television, and games. The law aims to enhance the protection of performers' rights in the era of artificial intelligence. The SAG-AFTRA union has expressed its support and is collaborating with AI companies Narrativ and ElevenLabs to establish a platform that allows actors to license their voice AI clones, ensuring control over how and where their likeness is used. This initiative will not only impact Hollywood.

Musk publicly supports California's SB1047 bill, which aims to require large AI model manufacturers to implement safeguards against potential harms. The bill mandates documentation of strategies to prevent serious damage caused by AI. Musk underscores the necessity of AI regulation, consistent with his past concerns about AI risks. His AI company, xAI, will be bound by the SB1047 bill. In contrast, OpenAI opposes the SB1047 bill and supports an alternative proposal. This event highlights the complexity and controversy of AI regulation within the industry.
