European data regulators set up ChatGPT taskforce

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:33 GMT

European data protection authorities today set up a task force to cooperate and exchange information on enforcing EU laws on ChatGPT maker OpenAI. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) made the announcement after several European regulators asked for more coordination on the AI chatbot, which is facing growing scrutiny. The Italian privacy regulator in late March started investigating the U.S. company and ordered a temporary ban on ChatGPT’s processing of Italian users’ personal data over alleged violations of laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).OpenAI has not set up a local headquarters in one of the European Union’s 27 countries, which means any member country’s data protection authority can launch new investigations and enforce bans.

(CNN) — The Pentagon has begun to limit who across the government receives its highly classified daily intelligence briefs following a major leak of classified information discovered last week.Some US officials who used to receive the briefing materials daily have stopped receiving it in recent days, sources familiar with the matter told CNN, as the Pentagon’s Joint Staff continues to whittle down its distribution lists.The Joint Staff, which comprises the Defense Department’s most senior uniformed leadership that advises the president, began examining its distribution lists immediately after learning of the trove of leaked classified documents — many of which had markings indicating that they had been produced by the Joint Staff’s intelligence arm, known as the J2.All the email lists have been reviewed, a senior defense official said, and some restrictions may only be temporary. Everyone on the lists had proper clearance, but not everyone nee...

Facial fractures and the fight back link 3 Yankees

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:33 GMT

Sitting by his locker at Camden Yards, Willie Calhoun pointed to the parts of his face and forearm where metal lies beneath his skin.The Yankees outfielder can feel the plates chill below the surface when he plays in cold temperatures, but he’s embraced the hardware. “There’s not many more places that they can hit me where I’m not protected at least,” he recently told The Daily News.A pair of hit-by-pitches made that metal necessary. The first, a 95-mph spring training fastball from Dodgers southpaw Julio Urias, struck the lefty-swinging Calhoun in the mouth in 2020 while still a member of the Rangers. The career-derailing heater shattered Calhoun’s jaw, required an air-lift to the hospital for surgery, and jumpstarted a years-long stretch that left the former top prospect feeling “gun shy” and “timid” at the plate.While facial fractures are not an everyday occurrence in the majors, two of Calhoun’s teammates can rela...

The South Florida Sun Sentinel continues its eight-part series previewing top players in the 2023 NFL draft (April 27-29) with linebackers. The Dolphins added David Long Jr., which is a nice acquisition considering his experience and athleticism. The inside linebacker has a low-key role in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s 3-4 system but they remain essential to stopping the run, and it’s always nice to get the guys who can stay on the field for three downs.Drew Sanders, ArkansasSanders (6 foot 4, 235 pounds), a transfer from Alabama, can fight off blocks in the running game and cover ground in the passing game. Sanders had 105 tackles, 9.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception last season, showing off an all-around game that features play-making abilities.Noah Sewell, OregonSewell (6-1, 246), the younger brother of Detroit offensive tackle Penei Sewell, totaled 56 tackles and one interception last season.
