Why AI detectors think the US Constitution was written by AI

If you feed America’s most important legal document—the US Constitution—into a tool designed to detect text written by AI models like ChatGPT, it will tell you that the document was almost certainly written by AI. But unless James Madison was a time traveler, that can’t be the case. Why do AI writing detection tools give false positives? We spoke to several experts—and the creator of AI writing detector GPTZero—to find out.
Among news stories of overzealous professors flunking an entire class due to the suspicion of AI writing tool use and kids falsely accused of using ChatGPT, generative AI has education in a tizzy. Some think it represents an existential crisis. Teachers relying on educational methods developed over the past century have been scrambling for ways to keep the status quo—the tradition of relying on the essay as a tool to gauge student mastery of a topic.
As tempting as it is to rely on AI tools to detect AI-generated writing, evidence so far has shown that they are not reliable. Due to false positives, AI writing detectors such as GPTZero, ZeroGPT, and OpenAI’s Text Classifier cannot be trusted to detect text composed by large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT.

The High-Level Group on the Digital Markets Act (DMA) will meet for the first time today.
The inaugural meeting will bring together representatives of different European bodies and networks to discuss issues of common interest as regards the implementation of the DMA.
During this first meeting, the High-Level Group is expected to discuss several topics relevant to the application and enforcement of the DMA, including the state of its implementation, developments in the areas of expertise of the members of the Group that are of relevance for enforcement of the DMA, and findings of the series of DMA workshops organized by the Commission in the last six months on topics such as self-preferencing, interoperability, app stores, and data-related obligations.
The High-Level Group brings together 30 representatives nominated from the Body of the European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC), the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) and European Data Protection Board (EDPB), the European Competition Network (ECN), the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network (CPC Network), and the European Regulatory Group of Audiovisual Media Regulators (ERGA). The Group, set up in March 2023, has a mandate of two years, and will meet at least once per year.
The High-Level Group may provide the Commission with advice and expertise to ensure that the DMA and other sectoral regulations applicable to gatekeepers are implemented in a coherent and complementary manner. It may also provide expertise in market investigations into emerging services and practices, to help ensure that the DMA is future-proof.

Top European Union (EU) official Thierry Breton told Twitter CEO Elon Musk that the latter’s platform will have to “do more” over the coming months in preparation for the microblogging site’s compliance with the bloc’s incoming social media regulations.
Breton, the EU commissioner for the internal market and social media, went on a video call two months ago in which Musk expressed intentions to fully comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).
DSA and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) aim to create a “safer digital space” where the fundamental rights of users are protected and to establish a level playing field for businesses. Together they form a single set of new rules that will be applicable across the whole bloc.

European Parliament votes to transform online political campaigning

https://www.politico.eu/article/european-parliament-approves-its-position-on-political-advertising-law/?
The European Parliament on Thursday voted to restrict how political ads can target voters in the EU, in an attempt to forestall manipulation ahead of the 2024 European elections.
European lawmakers approved the institution’s position on a draft EU rulebook to set transparency and privacy rules for political advertising on platforms like Facebook and Google. The vote was 433-61 with 110 abstentions.
While the law presented by the European Commission in November 2021 still has to be negotiated with EU countries, politicians could be limited to delivering paid political messages to users on online platforms based on only three pieces of information, including the language they speak, whether they’re first-time voters, and their general location, within 60 days of an election or referendum.

In April 2022, the European Union, the United States and several international partners proposed a Declaration for the Future of the Internet, supporting a trusted, open, free, global, interoperable, realiable and secure internet for the protection and respect of human rights across the digital world.
The partners in the Declaration share the belief that the Internet should operate as a single, decentralised “network of networks”, discarding unfair discrimination and promoting connectivity, democracy, peace, the rule of law and sustainable development.
Building upon the principles expressed in the Declaration for the Future of the Internet, on 27 January 2023, the US Department of State and the EU Directorate-General DG CONNECT have signed an “Administrative Arrangement on Artificial Intelligence for the Public Good” in a virtual ceremony, which will be implemented by relevant US and EU institutions and agencies working in this area.
Increased collaboration on research will help identify and further develop promising AI research results that have the potential for broad societal benefits in areas ranging from climate change, natural disasters, health and medicine, electric grid optimisation to agriculture.

President Biden’s second State of the Union address called on Congress to pass bipartisan legislation on both antitrust and data privacy issues.
His comments on the antitrust issue specifically referenced the need to prevent tech companies favoring their own products, an accusation frequently levelled at Apple …
Background
Apple has come under antitrust pressure all around the world, most notably in respect of App Store policies – including in its home market of the US.
Back in 2019, Congress began a year-long antitrust investigation into tech giants, which included Apple. The Cupertino company was found to engage in “deeply disturbing” anticompetitive behavior.”

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm. Within two months of its release it reached 100 million active users, making it the fastest-growing consumer application ever launched. Users are attracted to the tool’s advanced capabilities—and concerned by its potential to cause disruption in various sectors.
A much less discussed implication is the privacy risks ChatGPT poses to each and every one of us. Just yesterday, Google unveiled its own conversational AI called Bard, and others will surely follow. Technology companies working on AI have well and truly entered an arms race.
The problem is, it’s fueled by our personal data.

As EU policymakers make progress in defining an upcoming rulebook for Artificial Intelligence, the question of to what extent AI models employed to manage critical infrastructure should be covered by tight requirements still remains open.
The AI Act is reaching a critical stage in the legislative process, with the European Parliament set to reach a common position in the coming weeks. The legislative proposal is the world’s first attempt to put in place a comprehensive set of rules for Artificial Intelligence based on its potential risks.
A critical aspect of the draft law is the category of AI models that can cause significant harm, which must comply with stricter obligations regarding quality and risk management. However, concerning critical infrastructure, how to assess risk remains a matter of debate.

As EU policymakers make progress in defining an upcoming rulebook for Artificial Intelligence, the question of to what extent AI models employed to manage critical infrastructure should be covered by tight requirements still remains open.
The AI Act is reaching a critical stage in the legislative process, with the European Parliament set to reach a common position in the coming weeks. The legislative proposal is the world’s first attempt to put in place a comprehensive set of rules for Artificial Intelligence based on its potential risks.
A critical aspect of the draft law is the category of AI models that can cause significant harm, which must comply with stricter obligations regarding quality and risk management. However, concerning critical infrastructure, how to assess risk remains a matter of debate.

This technical backbone, developed by Member States in close collaboration with the Commission, will be the basis to engineer a prototype Wallet that can be used for testing in a variety of use-cases.
The Toolbox will complement the legislative proposal on a trusted and secure Digital Identity and is a crucial first step that will enable the creation of a robust framework for digital identification and authentication based on common standards across the EU. It aims to ensure a high level of trust in digital transactions in Europe. Member States will keep working closely with the Commission to continuously update the Toolbox.
