# AI Is In Trouble

It is a bad time for AI. The UK government has nudged regulators to come with AI rules. Italy has banned ChatGPT. An Australian mayor has threatened to sue ChatGPT creator OpenAI. And Canada has started a probe into ChatGPT.

AI magic isn’t working

We had our share of fun with ChatGPT. The AI chatbot wrote essays, gave quick answers to complex Maths problems, and was even ready to play agony aunt. Then came privacy concerns and fake news.

Brian Hood, the mayor of an Australian town was incorrectly classified as a bribery scandal accused by ChatGPT. Someone has filed a complaint about data misuse in Canada. In response, the country’s privacy watchdog will look into whether ChatGPT collected personal information without necessary disclosures.

Will it pause?

It’s too late to step back. Google and Microsoft are in stiff competition, and Amazon will make a hard push through Alexa and its AWS AI Accelerator. Perhaps, there need to be guardrails like we have for crypto. A DAO to decentralise data collection and storage can be a good alternative.
