EU warns Meta over blocking rival AI chatbots on WhatsApp

EU warns Meta over blocking rival AI chatbots on WhatsApp

The EU could take ”interim measures” against WhatsApp as it investigates AI providers’ access to the app. On Monday, the EU’s regulatory arm announced its ”preliminary view” that Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, violated antitrust laws by blocking third-party AI assistants from operating on WhatsApp.

The European Commission’s is concerned that Meta’s actions will limit competitors from entering the AI assistant market. ”We must protect effective competition in this vibrant field, which means we cannot allow dominant tech companies to illegally leverage their dominance to give themselves an unfair advantage,” Teresa Ribera, executive vice-president for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition said in a statement.

Inside Ferrari’s Luce EV: The Jony Ive interior is here

Inside Ferrari’s Luce EV: The Jony Ive interior is here

Since Apple finally put its mysterious and long-suffering Project Titan out to pasture, we’ve wondered what a Jony Ive-designed Apple Car might have looked like. Today, we might have a clue. This, though, is no Apple Car. It’s the Ferrari Luce (”light” in Italian), the actual name for the EV formerly known as Elettrica, and I’m fresh from getting a walkthrough of the thing from Sir Ive himself. At a glance things look like you might have expected, but there are a few surprises here.

While Ferrari has sold hybrids in some form or another since 2013’s LaFerrari, Luce (née Elettrica) will be the company’s first all-electric machine. We got our first look underneath back in October, when we saw the chassis, battery pack and other details that pointed to this being a larger, more family-friendly machine than your average Ferrari. Last week, I got a look at the next major component, the interior, which comes courtesy of LoveFrom.

Reklam rullas ut i ChatGPT – så påverkas du

Reklam rullas ut i ChatGPT – så påverkas du

Nu börjar OpenAI testa annonser direkt i ChatGPT. Beskedet kommer bara timmar efter att konkurrenten Anthropic under Super Bowl valt att profilera sig med budskapet att de aldrig kommer att visa reklam i sina tjänster.

OpenAI beskriver detta som en inledande testperiod snarare än en fullskalig lansering. Syftet är att utvärdera hur användarna reagerar på sponsrat innehåll innan formatet spikas helt.

Här dyker annonserna upp

Reklamen kommer i ett första skede att visas för användare som har gratiskonton eller prenumerationen ChatGPT Go. De dyrare alternativen, ChatGPT Plus och Pro, förblir reklamfria tills vidare.

OpenAI har satt upp följande ramar för hur reklamen ska fungera:

  • Placering: Annonserna visas längst ner i svaren från chattboten.

  • Relevans: Innehållet baseras på den aktuella konversationen. Om du frågar om löparskor kan ett sponsrat förslag dyka upp under svaret.

  • Tydlighet: All reklam ska vara tydligt märkt och separerad från det vanliga svaret. Användare kan klicka för att se varför de ser annonsen eller välja att dölja den.

Skydd för känsliga ämnen

OpenAI betonar att reklamen inte ska påverka själva svaren som AI-modellen genererar. Företaget lovar också att inga annonser ska visas för användare under 18 år. Dessutom är känsliga kategorier som politik, hälsa och psykiskt välmående helt undantagna från annonsering.
