Apple Watch US ban upheld
A recent U.S. ban on Apple Watch imports will remain in place, after the Biden administration declined to veto an earlier ruling by the International Trade Commission. The ITC ruling goes into effect today.
The company previously halted sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, in anticipation of the ban, pausing online sales on December 21 and in-store sales three days later.

Title: OpenAI Addresses ChatGPT’s Data Breach with a Flawed Fix.
The solution provided by OpenAI in response to the ChatGPT data breach is not perfect.
A ChatGPT data exfiltration flaw that would have exposed conversation information to an outside URL has been fixed by OpenAI. The researcher who found the problem claims that because the mitigation isn’t flawless, attackers may still be able to take advantage of it in some circumstances. Furthermore, the safety checks have not yet been added to the ChatGPT iOS mobile app, leaving the platform vulnerable.

Title: Blockchain, Web3 And GenAI: The Tech Superheroes Of Today
Web3, blockchain and generative AI are all generating a lot of buzz these days. They are like our superheroes of the tech industry, each with their own unique set of abilities.
Consider Web3 to be an interesting platform that enables us to conduct business online without relying too heavily on major corporations. It's more like a group of friends collaborating than a single boss. It keeps everything secure and ensures that no one tampers with our digital data.
Blockchain is similar to a very secure diary that no one can change after you write in it. It's great for keeping important records safe and prevents tampering.
And let us not forget GenAI—it's like having a wonderful doctor who understands your body so well that they know exactly what medicine or therapy you need. It learns, adapts and assists us.

Title: New York Times sues OpenAI, Microsoft for infringing copyrighted works
The US-based newspaper accuses the companies of using millions of its articles without permission to help train chatbots.
The New York Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft over copyright infringement, seeking to end the companies’ practice of using its stories to train chatbots.
The newspaper filed a lawsuit in the United States federal court in Manhattan on Wednesday, alleging the companies’ powerful artificial intelligence (AI) models used millions of its articles for training without permission and saying that copyright infringements at the paper alone could be worth billions.
The Times said OpenAI and Microsoft are advancing their technology through the “unlawful use of The Times’s work to create artificial intelligence products that compete with it” and “threatens The Times’s ability to provide that service”.

From graphic design to visual workflows, Canva’s new AI core is changing its business
Canva has crafted a wildly successful business model on the idea that graphic design should be accessible to everyone. The Australian company has raised $560 million since its founding in 2012, and is currently bringing in an annualized recurring revenue of around $1.7 billion, according to co-founder and chief product officer Cameron Adams.
Generative AI will only give users more, and smarter, content choices. In October, Canva announced a $200 million commitment over the next three years to pay out creators who consent to having their content used to train the company’s AI models. Adams said that so far, only 0.0005% of creators have opted out.

Title: ChatGPT Helps, and Worries, Business Consultants, Study Finds
The A.I. tool helped most with creative tasks. With more analytical work, however, the technology led to more mistakes.
In the near future, language bots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Meta’s Llama and Google’s Gemini are expected to take on many white-collar tasks, like copy writing, preparing legal briefs and drafting letters of recommendation. The study is one of the first to show how the technology might affect real office work — and office workers.
The study recruited management consultants from Boston Consulting Group, one of the world’s largest management-consulting firms. The company had barred its consultants from using A.I. bots in their work.

A security researcher discovered a data leak for citizen data in bangladesh
Viktor Markopoulos found the exposed data thanks to an inadvertently cached Google search result, which exposed citizen names, addresses, phone numbers and national identity numbers from the affected website.
That’s when the country’s computer emergency incident response team, also known as CIRT, got in touch and confirmed the leaking database had been fixed. The data was spilling from none other than the country’s birth, death and marriage registrar office. CIRT confirmed in a public notice that it had resolved the data spill and that it left “no stone unturned” to understand how the leak happened. Governments seldom handle their scandals well, but an email from the government to the researcher thanking them for their finding and reporting the bug shows the government’s willingness to engage over cybersecurity where many other countries will not.

Nvidia's RTX 4090 faces U.S. export restrictions, being part of a list of banned chips for China due to its AI capabilities. The company asserts full compliance with U.S. government export controls, citing extensive engagement with authorities during the chip's development, as reported by Reuters. The export restrictions primarily target chips facilitating AI applications, extending to gaming-focused processors like the RTX 4090, which, according to an October 17 Securities and Exchange Commission filing, leverages AI for enhanced performance.
Despite these challenges, Nvidia has seen remarkable success in 2023, with its shares more than tripling in price year to date. This surge is attributed, in part, to the heightened demand for AI technologies, where OpenAI's ChatGPT has played a role in generating significant industry interest.
