Moving along!

We have some updates for those who follow the project with Biance Academy and the youth of Vilnius University. Mind University had a meeting with students and Vilnius University Business School personnel. Students had to ask their questions and clear up anything. After that, a Zoom call was arranged to meet the Mind University team and student groups. At this time, we got the opportunity to see the first cut of the videos that students started to make. Our partners and project investors also participated. Students received feedback on their work, and experts shared what could be improved. This is how these videos posted last week got to be. Now, the team is preparing to meet the students again in person, and during the last viewing of final cuts, Mind University experts decide which groups deserve which cash prize for their creation....

Binance Faces Historic Crackdown by US Justice Department

In a landmark development, Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has come under intense scrutiny from US regulators. The company, known for its rapid growth since its 2017 inception and a somewhat defiant stance towards US financial regulations, is now facing one of the most severe money-laundering settlements in the history of the US Justice Department. This crackdown signifies a major shift for Binance: from being a hub of unrestricted crypto trading to potentially becoming the most compliant entity in the crypto industry with US regulations. As part of the settlement, Binance will have to open its historical transaction records, a move that exposes over a half-decade of user data to US regulators and law enforcement.

EU's Pioneering AI Act Faces Crucial Negotiations

In a landmark moment for tech regulation, the European Union's AI Act, touted as the world's first comprehensive AI regulations, is at a critical juncture. Initiated in 2019, this Act aims to position the EU as a leader in governing the rapidly evolving tech industry. However, negotiations are now intensifying over how to manage general-purpose AI services like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. As the debate heats up, tech giants argue against what they perceive as excessive regulation that could hinder innovation. Meanwhile, EU lawmakers are pushing for robust safeguards to ensure responsible development of these advanced AI systems.

BBC Exposes AI Tool Misuse for Cybercrime

The tool absorbed social engineering knowledge quickly, raising concerns about its use in cybercrime. OpenAI's moderation efforts are under scrutiny, as the public ChatGPT refuses such content, but the private version allows more flexibility. This revelation highlights the challenges in regulating AI tools.
