The beginning of the end for centralized AI?

[Z390]

There is a rumor going around that Centralized ChatGPT is getting banned, I don't know if this is official yet but it is official that in Italy the government is worried about privacy concerns and they put a ban on ChatGPT, is this the beginning of the end for ChatGPT? How will this impact decentralized AI projects because I believe they can't be banned.

Another possibility is if ChatGPT or OpenAI start getting banned in other parts of the world we can see a big rally on AI projects on the blockchain, what do you think?

Any government that is uneasy about AI has the right to ban it in their country; to some point, they really know what's best for their citizens. 
Possibly, those who are AI lovers will definitely want to fight for it and defend it in any way that they can. 

But left to myself, I don't have much interest in this AI, if there is such a thing, in as much as they are good in different areas and render some kinds of support that make things a little bit easier. I still don't buy the idea of making AI as popular as it's becoming now without analyzing the risk factor that it might cause if humans eventually lose control over them; that's for the other AIs, which are not just built for writing purposes.

You have answered the question yourself!
Italy is not banning AI in general, the action it took against ChatGPT was because of breaking European laws about privacy and the use of collected users' data without permission. That's all! If Microsoft adheres to the laws of the EU the ban will be lifted.
As for a decentralized AI, that's just a buzzword from the last bull run when we had hundreds of ICOs claiming this and that, a trend that has gained a new life now with all the hype and projects popping left and right but with no other target than to scam some gullible investors once more.

It may only be temporary because ChatGPT will exist sooner or later and it seems that no one will be able to ban it because it is a matter of freedom to create something useful for many people. The ChatGPT or OpenAI project may be banned in some countries but that will not stop the development of OpenAI in other countries where the use of OpenAI or ChatGPT is permitted. And there may be a big rally in AI projects in the market, which could happen in the next altcoin season.

It's not the end of centralized AI, but it's beginning of more regulated, centralized, and censored AI. Like cryptocurrency, even though they are decentralized cryptocurrency still banned in some country and/or need regulation for trade some coin or use that coin

[kryptqnick]

Italy banned ChatGPT, I've seen it in the news. The reasons are data leaks and no proper limitations for minors, but I don't think the concern is related to ChatGPT being centralized, belonging to a company. That being said, I like the idea of a decentralized AI, to be honest, and I don't think it's completely impossible. But Italy is just one country, and perhaps they would've banned a decentralized AI linguistic model as well. Moreover, it's not like ChatGPT is the only one out there. Maybe some will get more popular, others will get less popular and some may get banned, but that doesn't mean that centralized AI is about to be over. We don't have a decentralized Internet, and I don't think we'll have a shift to mainstream decentralized AI soon either.

ChatGPT suspended? They must be nuts. Centralised or decentralised AI bans are terrifying. It raises questions about the government's power and AI's role in society. However, AI presents significant concerns about privacy and safety. These concerns must be addressed and AI businesses held accountable. It's unclear how this will affect decentralised AI projects. They may be a good alternative to centralised systems, but they have dangers and issues. We should be careful when discussing the controversial topic and communicate honestly about AI's future. We must collaborate to strike a balance between advancement and responsibility

It is expected some regulators could get scared about the impact of artificial intelligence within the society, specially those lawmakers concerned about the displacement of jobs and the privacy of their co-citizens.

However, even though those fears can be fair and justified, I believe that the big technology companies will use their lobbyists to push for loose regulations and controls for the algorithms they are developing. There is just too much money at stake with the implementation of Artificial intelligence, and when there is money in between, security and social concerns are left to one side to welcome the pay-check and the "legal bribery".

One example is what happened to the Train derailed in USA, less controls in security when the disaster happened.

If it is banned from public access,users will still find the possibility of accessing it,this is obvious and I don’t think that this will cause any problems with access.There are also rumors that not only Italy is interested in blocking,but also other countries of the European Union but how will it be on We'll see in practice.The second point, I don't think there will be a boom in AI-related projects since so far I don't know successful cases of crypto and AI in one project.

IMHO, it's just a rule and measure for that country to stop people from using it because it may include the usage from schools and children will be no longer studying well their lessons and assignments and all they have to do is ask chatgpt.

I've got no idea that it's getting banned somewhere else but it could also happen in some countries that don't see its usage and worth. Relatively to blockchain and crypto, there have been a lot of ai projects even before the chatgpt became popular.

[sheenshane]

Upon having a short research this is what I've found.  Italy became the first Western country to ban ChatGPT
Upon reading that article, not only Italy but also other countries have been increased or other plans to increase restriction reading AI projects. 
Centralized or Decentralized systems can still be subject to legal and regulatory frameworks.  It might possible that new regulations could be developed specifically targeting decentralized AI technologies.

But this question is still on my mind, I didn't see any official announcement, better to seek out official information and sources before jumping to conclusions because this is only a rumor.

Blockchain is a database. A very clunky and inefficient one.

AI is a program that first of all requires processing power. Not storage space. It makes zero sense to put "AI on blockchain", it's just technobabble.

And Italy didn't ban AI - they banned a chatbot website because it wasn't complying with Italy's privacy laws. But you can still use GPT-4 and other AIs in Italy in their other forms.

[Unbunplease]

I don't think there's anything laws can do to stop the development of artificial intelligence. One reason is that people are paid to work on the development of artificial intelligence. In fact, developing artificial intelligence is their job description. And all these appeals and bans look ridiculous (like the riots against the development of factory production once looked like).

I have seen a lot of news that chatgpt has been banned in different parts of the country around the world today, some are in K-12 school districts and some are in university colleges.

    There are others in companies for their employees and others. maybe others saw that chatgpt had a bad effect on students so they did it and we can't blame them if that's what they did.

You need to distinguish that GPT or Open AI Chat projects are real projects that have been studied for many years and started to operate in recent years. While AI projects in cryptocurrency are imitating the technology to create a trend, and the purpose of these projects is to sell tokens and cheat each other to make money. They are completely different, so even if ChatGPT continues to evolve and AI technology reaches new heights, crypto scam projects will soon disappear when they are no longer monetized. The altcoin market is gambling, no technology there.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Italy has their reasons for the ban and it you have done your research well you will see some reasons to it too. For example, Italy already has a policy on data collection and according to them ChatGPT is in violation of that policy despite it being designed to be compliant with various privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. Around March 20th, there was a data breach that happened and a lot of personal data was collected. Maybe they want to follow in the footsteps of countries like China, North Korea, Russia and Iran where Open AI is inaccessible. ChatGPT is overhyped, in my opinion. Even the chat program's developers recognized the threat it posed to people, yet the users seem unconcerned.

[Wexnident]

I highly doubt said bans would last long, they're probably just setting up countermeasures for some "over extensions" of what ChatGPT is able to reach. I also doubt they'd do a full permanent ban in the future, AI capabilities would only continue to evolve from now on after all and they can't stop it, it's like how casinos weren't really able to be stopped even though countries have a countrywide ban for it, not to mention AI which can be really helpful if one knows how to use it.

And imo, AI crypto projects will die off regardless of a countries' stance to crypto.

[Plaguedeath]

It's not simple as that for saying if centralized AI get banned, there's will be a decentralized AI will comes up and can't get banned by the government.

How it's possible decentralized AI can work? if someone able to create it, do you think he will give it freely to everyone to use it? what's the motive and benefit for him? none.

There are many smart developers out there, but they will not spend all of his time to create a good project when he doesn't get any benefit, it's wasting time.

[ElmedoRator]

I find it funny to only see the negative problem it causes, perhaps we are so used to the service from scientific technology that we gradually lose more independence in creating products.

The benefits or negatives of adopting AI in society are probably out of the question here, but let's be fair with these tools, ethical use is what I feel needs to be universal variable, not the imposition of the risks it poses.

I see the emergence of AI as many modern tools and devices have appeared, it always creates different problems and people who are not able to adapt will find these things dangerous.

I hear you loud and clear about ChatGPT and the rumor mill that's swirling around it. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here, we gotta dig into the facts before we start shootin' off our mouths. And sure, the Italian government is worried about privacy, but that doesn't mean it's curtains for ChatGPT. Nah, it's actually a chance for ChatGPT to get its act together and make some serious improvements to its security and privacy features.

Now, when it comes to decentralized AI projects, they're all about stickin' it to the man and avoiding any sort of centralized control. So, even if ChatGPT gets the boot in certain countries, decentralized AI projects are still gonna be on the come up. Think about it, if ChatGPT does get banned, it could actually be a catalyst for the blockchain industry and decentralized AI projects could be the next big thing.

At the end of the day, it's too early to tell what's gonna happen with ChatGPT and the blockchain scene. We gotta stay on top of the latest deets, keep ourselves informed, and throw some support behind decentralized AI projects that are all about privacy and security. So, what's your take on this whole shebang?
