OpenAI has so far raised $10 billion from Microsoft at a valuation of almost $30

computing capacity.
In other news, Dutch privacy watchdog DPA said on Wednesday
it is "concerned" about the use of personal data by software makers
developing artificial intelligence (AI) and it has sent a letter to
Microsoft-backed OpenAI seeking more information.
Governments including the European Union are considering how
to regulate the technology after OpenAI's ChatGPT became the fastest-growing
consumer application in history.
"The DPA is concerned about how organizations that make
use of so-called 'generative' artificial intelligence treat personal
information," the agency said.
The agency "will be taking various actions in the
future. As a first step we have asked OpenAI by letter to clear up some things
about ChatGPT."
DPA said it was seeking information about how the company
has gathered the data it used to create its software and how it stores data,
including information gleaned from user questions.
Concerns are mounting about potential abuse of the
technology and the possibility that bad actors and governments may use it to
produce far more disinformation than before. © Reuters
