ChatGPT, Bard and Bing AI: You can’t escape the AI models and chatbot evolution and headlines. Now, the US government is trying to get a handle on things. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is asking for public comments on possible regulations to hold AI creators accountable. The measures will ideally help the Biden administration ensure these models work as promised “without causing harm,” the NTIA says. Hopefully, they’ll also speak to experts, too, and not just rely on the anonymous internet public.
ChatGPT and similar generative AI models have already been tied to sensitive data leaks and copyright violations and have prompted fears of automated disinformation and malware campaigns – and that’s in addition to basic concerns about accuracy and bias.

To be more open about Bard’s development, Google has created a new experiment updates page where anyone can find information on recent updates to Bard, including new features and bug fixes.

Polestar
Polestar has confirmed its latest – and fastest production – EV, the Polestar 4, will debut at the Shanghai Auto Show on April 18. The new generation joins the Polestar 3 and an updated Polestar 2, with the new model’s design expected to fall somewhere between the two. The Polestar 4 is slightly smaller than the Polestar 3 and a bit higher off the ground than the Polestar 2 and is expected to have a battery that should run for about 373 miles.

They allege Twitter owes them more than $1 million in unreimbursed legal fees.
Twitter faces yet another lawsuit over unpaid bills. In a complaint filed with the Delaware Chancery Court, former CEO Parag Agrawal, former CFO Ned Segal and former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde allege Twitter owes them more than $1 million in unreimbursed legal fees.
Elon Musk fired all three execs after taking control of the company last fall. The former executives allege Twitter spent months ignoring letters they sent asking it to honor a reimbursement agreement they had in place before their termination. According to the complaint, Twitter finally acknowledged the letters last month but did little else.
