Meta’s stance on AI access in the EU seems strangely familiar. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, Jim Rea, and Web Bixby compare it to Apple’s “wait-and-see” strategy with some of its challenges across the pond. We also look at the practice of training AI using scraped data from an ethical standpoint, consider how educators are using the whole AI situation, and highlight a new Apple resources for social engineering education.
