Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT over collection, storage of personal data
 
 
Italy's privacy regulator has banned OpenAI's ChatGPT for collecting and storing Italian user's personal data without any legal basis. OpenAI has also been accused of violating the EU General Data Protection Regulation and an investigation has been launched.

The ban comes after an open letter was published on Twitter, calling for a six-month pause on the development of the system due to potential risks to society. OpenAI must comply with the ban with immediate effect or face a fine of up to €20 million.

The best orchestration tool for MLOps: a real story about difficult choices   ✅
 
 
The article discusses the use of orchestrators in automating machine learning processes and ensuring the reproducibility of results.

The three main orchestrators discussed are Kubeflow Pipelines, Airflow, and Prefect. The article compares the advantages and disadvantages of each orchestrator and concludes that the choice of orchestrator depends on the specific project requirements.

Kubeflow was the preferred choice for the authors due to its CI/CD configuration and containerization advantages. However, Prefect is recommended for small projects or teams with a limited budget, and Airflow is ideal for running a variety of tasks using a mature and developed tool.

5 ways GPT-4 outsmarts ChatGPT   ✅
 
 
OpenAI has released its latest language model, GPT-4, which has several new features that set it apart from previous versions like ChatGPT and GPT-3.5.

The five biggest differences are that GPT-4:
  • can understand and process images,
  • is harder to trick,
  • has a longer memory,
  • is more multilingual,
  • has different "personalities" that can be customized to suit specific needs.

GPT-4 is expected to be available to developers soon via API and will be featured on OpenAI's paid service, ChatGPT Plus.
