A group of 20 leading technology companies signed a pact at the Munich Security Conference Friday to help combat the use of harmful AI-generated content, such as deepfakes, meant to deceive voters in the 2024 elections.

Arizona State University (ASU) announced a new partnership with OpenAI – the AI research and deployment company behind ChatGPT – that will enable faculty and staff to explore the potential of generative AI to enhance teaching, learning, and discovery, while also ensuring increased levels of privacy and security.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said his administration is partnering with OpenAI on a pilot program that will utilize generative AI in state government employee operations.

ChatGPT, the chatbot technology launched by OpenAI late last year to much fanfare for its ability to create highly realistic narratives, may also end up delivering advantages to hackers who need to upgrade their phishing email pitches, according to new research released by BlackBerry.
