"If your fearmongering campaigns succeed, they will *inevitably* result in what you and I would identify as a catastrophe: a small number of companies will control AI," LeCun said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday. I also know that producing AI systems that are safe and under our control is possible. "Then there's sort of the misuse of AI by bad actors repurposing technology, general-purpose technology for bad ends that they were not intended for. "And then finally, I think about the more longer-term risk, which is technical AGI [artificial general intelligence] risk," Hassabis said.

☆ There's a 'game of thrones' in AI, but these China tech giants offer real value, tech veteran says

China's tech giants may be reeling from the regulatory clampdowns imposed by the government, but they still have "a lot of value," according to veteran analyst Dan Ives. "I think [for] China tech, there's a lot of value there when you look at Baidu , JD , Tencent and others. Because of China's regulatory restrictions, more institutional investors in Asia are focusing on U.S. tech instead, Ives added.

☆ Coinbase is 'confident' a U.S. bitcoin ETF will be approved after SEC's court defeat
  + stars: | 2023-10-20 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Coinbase is confident that a U.S. bitcoin exchange-traded fund will be approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company's chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, told CNBC. The SEC was recently dealt a major court setback when a judge ruled that the regulator had no basis to deny digital asset management Grayscale's bid to turn its huge GBTC bitcoin fund into an ETF. The SEC last week declined to appeal that ruling by a key deadline, likely paving the way for a bitcoin-related ETF to be approved in the coming months. "I think that the the firms that have stepped forward with robust proposals to our for these products and services are among some of the biggest blue-chips in financial services," Grewal added. But, Grewal said, it's likely now that the regulator will approve a bitcoin ETF soon, highlighting the regulator's failure in court to block Grayscale from converting its GBTC bitcoin fund into an ETF.

If and when it is approved, Coinbase will have a universal "MiCA license" in Ireland, which it can then use to "passport" its services into Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and other EU countries. The rules will allow crypto companies to use one license in one country to operate across all 27 EU member states. Currently, Coinbase has an electronic money institution license and virtual asset service provider registration in Ireland; a crypto license in Germany; and national registrations in other EU member states including Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. Paul Grewal, Coinbase's chief legal officer, said that progress has been "slower" than he'd like when it comes to achieving crypto regulation in the U.S. "We're now seeing in court cases real questions being asked about the U.S. approach to crypto regulation and in particular securities regulation," he said.
