The relationship between #scientists and #policymakers is changing.

Traditionally #science is made available to those who are interested, and the scientist goes on to do more work.

This 2022 paper examines how #Dutch scientists took a more active role in shaping #policy.

"An engagement with the politics of knowledge by experts as well as policymakers can encourage more effective and legitimate knowledge production and use."

#OpenAI's #ChatGPT #BLOCKED In #Italy: #Privacy_Watchdog | By AFP - Agence #France Presse | #Penalty of a 20 #million_euro ($21.7-#million) #FINE, or up to 4 percent of annual revenues!!

#Italy's privacy watchdog said Friday it had blocked the controversial #robot ChatGPT, saying the #artificial_intelligence app did not #respect #user_data and could not #verify users' #age.

The decision "#with_immediate_effect" will result in "the temporary #limitation of the #processing of #Italian #user_data vis-a-vis OpenAI", the Italian #Data_Protection_Authority said.

The agency has launched an #investigation.

But the app that appeared in November is controversial, with #teachers fearing #students will use it to #cheat, and #policymakers concerned about the spread of #misinformation.

The watchdog said that on March 20, the app experienced a #data_breach involving user conversations and #payment information.

It said there was no legal basis to justify "the #mass_collection and #storage of #personal_data for the #purpose of '#training' the #algorithms underlying the operation of the platform".

It also said that since there was #no_way to #verify the #age of #users, the app "#exposes_minors to absolutely #unsuitable_answers compared to their degree of #development and #awareness."

It said the company had 20 days to respond how it would address the watchdog's concerns, under #penalty of a 20 #million_euro ($21.7-#million) #FINE, or up to 4 percent of annual revenues.

The blocking of ChatGPT in Italy comes days after the European policing agency Europol warned that criminals were set to use the app to commit fraud and other cybercrimes, from phishing to malware.
