In response to concerns over potential privacy and paywall bypass, OpenAI has paused the 'Browse with Bing' feature on its ChatGPT tool.

3. 🇺🇸 U.S. Proposes Cloud Service Limitations on Chinese Firms

A proposed U.S. regulation aims to curtail Chinese firms' access to American cloud services, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, effectively tightening the reins on AI tech sales to China. The rules, soon to be disclosed by the U.S. Commerce Department, would mandate U.S. cloud providers to obtain government permission before providing AI-related services to Chinese clients.
