Vespignani, "Intervistare Claude è pericoloso se le domande sono sbagliate"
by J.C. DE MARTIN May 7, 2026

May 7, 2026

*Intervistare Claude è pericoloso se le domande sono sbagliate*/* * Chiedersi se l’Ai pensa come noi è fuorviante: non è un soggetto ma un fenomeno da studiare/ Alessandro Vespignani 7 maggio 2026 Nei giorni scorsi è apparsa sul /Corriere della Sera/ *un’intervista di Walter Veltroni a Claude, una delle piattaforme di intelligenza artificiale più conosciute. *Le domande riguardavano cose del tipo l'infanzia che Claude non ha avuto, il suo rapporto con Dio, la paura della morte, il desiderio di vedere il mare. L'intervista, io direi il pezzo, dato che non c'era nessuno da intervistare, ha suscitato reazioni che vanno da chi ha apprezzato il garbo delle domande e delle risposte a chi ha colto l'occasione per ridicolizzare Veltroni, rilanciando l'etichetta dell'intervista a un pappagallo stocastico. Vorrei provare a discuterne in un altro modo. Quell'intervista non è né geniale né ridicola. È, prima di tutto, in ritardo. È un gioco che chiunque abbia avuto accesso a un modello linguistico alcuni anni fa ha provato a fare nei primi giorni: chiedergli se ha emozioni, se sogna, se teme di morire. Era la fase dello stupore iniziale, ma erano i primi giorni. *Pubblicare oggi sul principale quotidiano italiano un'intervista costruita su quelle stesse domande è il sintomo di un dibattito pubblico che spesso affronta l’AI ancora nella fase dello stupore, anziché con gli strumenti culturali e scientifici necessari per comprenderne l’impatto.* [...] continua qui: https://www.lastampa.it/cultura/2026/05/07/news/intervistare_claude_e_peric…

Sam Altman

May 3, 2026

Guy Holder https://www.linkedin.com/posts/guy-holder-4596854a_i-dont-think-i-have-hear… I don’t think I have heard such a naked exposition of the centrality of surveillance capitalism to the development of OpenAI than this 54 second clip from Sam Altman (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efSpDL0hZzM) “These models are still quite dumb, relative to what they will be, but, more than that, they have quite limited awareness of your life, you are still having to, like, massage them and cajole them, to try and get the thing that you want. We are no longer that far away from a model that just knows all of your contacts, it knows about you, it knows about your life, it knows what your doing, it knows what you care about, it knows about the people in your life, it has access to your computer and your browser (if you want, of course) and it has access, maybe increasingly over time, to what is going on in the real world around you. That is going to be a complete change to what it feels like to use a computer, and what it feels like to use AI, and I am tremendously excited about that. But I don’t think even we have a good intuition yet for what that’s really going to feel like” ......... To successfully develop their product, and to have it perform to its optimum potential, everything must be known. Everything. Virtually and ‘in real life’. Everything. It is there, above, in black and white. It is on the tape. As Shoshana Zuboff wrote in her seminal book 'Surveillance Capitalism, there is no end to the drive for data, other than totality. Where does this leave education, with regards to being protected from this vision of AI extractivism? Linked, and even more importantly, where does it leave the rights of children? Sitting ducks, I would say. As*Karen Hao* <https://www.linkedin.com/in/karendhao/>writes, the push for data disproportionately falls on “already vulnerable populations, including children”. We have to resist this.

Consultation on the proposed measures for Google Search data sharing (Article 6(11) of the DMA)
by J.C. DE MARTIN April 27, 2026

April 27, 2026

https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/dma100209-consultation-proposed-me… *DMA.100209 – Consultation on the proposed measures for Google Search data sharing (Article 6(11) of the DMA)* Consultation on the proposed measures that Alphabet must implement to ensure effective sharing of Google Search data with third party undertakings providing online search engines, as required by Article 6(11) of the Digital Markets Act ("DMA"). Details Status Open Opening date 16 April 2026 Deadline 1 May 2026, 23:59 (CEST) Target audience All citizens, companies and organisations are welcome to contribute to this consultation. The Commission especially welcomes contributions from companies that are directly affected by the scope of these proceedings, namely those providing online search engine services including AI chatbots with search functionality. Why we are consulting The DMA is a European legislation that aims to make digital markets fairer and more open. The DMA applies to gatekeepers, which are companies operating large digital platforms that play an important role in the digital economy and act as gateways for other companies to access end users. Alphabet is one of such gatekeepers. Amongst others, the DMA requires gatekeepers that operate online search engine services to share anonymised ranking, query, click and view data with other search engines against fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. To assist Alphabet in sharing such data in an effective way, the Commission opened proceedings on 27 January 2026 to specify measures that Alphabet must implement to comply with its data sharing obligation under the DMA. The Commission’s case reference is DMA.100209 <https://digital-markets-act-cases.ec.europa.eu/cases/DMA.100209>. On 16 April 2026, the Commission addressed its preliminary findings to Alphabet, including the draft measures that Alphabet must take to ensure effective sharing of Google Search data with other search engines. A case summary and the proposed measures are available in the /Reference documents /section below. *The Commission is now seeking feedback from interested third parties on the proposed measures. *The Commission’s measures cover five areas: * *Eligibility:* Which third parties are eligible to receive data under Article 6(11) of the DMA? * *Data scope: *Which data must Alphabet share? * *Anonymisation*: How must Alphabet anonymise the data based on technical measures complemented by contractual measures, without unnecessarily degrading the quality and usefulness of the data? * *Pricing terms: *What pricing terms for the search data can be considered FRAND? * *Sharing process:* How must Alphabet share the data with third parties? *_In particular, the Commission seeks views on the technical aspects of the measures:_* * *The effectiveness of the measures in practice*: if implemented, will the proposed measures offer search data that is useful for third parties providing search engines to optimise their services while meeting the requirement that the shared data is anonymised? * *The completeness of the measures:* is anything else is needed to ensure effective sharing of search data? * *Timelines:* is the proposed timeline for Alphabet to implement the measures achievable? The Commission will carefully assess the feedback provided by interested parties and Alphabet. The input received may result in adjustments to the proposed measures and will feed in the Commission’s decision making the measures legally binding on Alphabet. The Commission will adopt a final decision by 27 July 2026 (within six months of opening the proceedings). Respond to the consultation /*This consultation concerns Google Search data sharing with third party undertakings providing search engines. The Commission is organising a separate consultation on Alphabet’s Android operating system interoperability with third-party AI services (case reference DMA.100220).*/ You can send your contributions through EU Survey <https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/DMA100209_Consultation_Proposed_Measur…>. The deadline to respond to this consultation is Friday 1 May 2026. *Your submission must be fully _non-confidential_*. *All contributions will be made available to Alphabet for comments*. Contributions will not be published. The Commission may contact you with follow-up questions on your feedback.
