Instagram to automatically put teens into private accounts with increased restrictions and parental controls
"Today’s PR exercise falls short of the safety by design and accountability that young people and their parents deserve and only meaningful policy action can guarantee," Nicole Gill, cofounder and executive director of Accountable Tech, wrote in a statement. "Meta’s business model is built on addicting its users and mining their data for profit; no amount of parental and teen controls Meta is proposing will change that.”
OpenAI and Anthropic Partner with US AI Safety Institute for AI Model Safety Research
While the agreement between the U.S. AI Safety Institute, OpenAI, and Anthropic is seen as a step in the right direction by groups focused on AI safety, concerns remain about the vague nature of the term “safety” and the lack of clear regulations in the field. Nicole Gill, Executive Director and Co-founder of Accountable Tech, emphasizes the importance of AI companies following through with their promises and commitments. Regulators must gain insight into the rapid development of AI to ensure better and safer products.
