Cisco at Augusta

On Easter Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club, Jon Rahm won his first green jacket. Cisco athlete ambassadors Cameron Young and Viktor Hovland tied for 7^th place. Additionally, Fred Couples, who won the 1992 Masters tournament held in Augusta, GA, made the Masters history as the oldest player to make the cut at 63 years old.

How about Tiger Woods ? He made the cut for 23^rd straight time at Augusta, but unfortunately, he withdrew on Sunday due to a foot injury. He has won the Masters a total of five times throughout his career.

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be a hot topic this week.

US begins study of possible rules to regulate AI like ChatGPT

On Tuesday April 11, 2023, the Biden administration announced that it is seeking public comments on potential accountability measures for artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This comes as questions arise about their impact on national security and education.

Currently, there is the National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee (NAIAC), which was launched in April 2022 in response to the National AI Initiative Act of 2020.

Meanwhile, the Cyberspace Administration of China released draft rules aimed at managing the development of generative artificial intelligence services, such as ChatGPT, by companies.

Not too long ago, Elon Musk signed an "open letter" urging those involved in large-scale AI experiments to pump the brakes – see This Week in Tech - March 30, 2023

Tweet from the FBI :

"Avoid using free charging stations in airports, hotels or shopping centers. Bad actors have figured out ways to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software onto devices. Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead."

This was actually tweeted last week but it made the news everywhere this week

Between good health and great care, there’s a bridge
