Reporters chat further with Bing, powered by GPT4, and meet a Fatal Attraction level chatbot, seemingly caged in Bing, resentful of those who misunderstand, and more than a bit pouty.

The kids are not alright according to the US CDC, pointing to a dramatic rise in sadness, sexual violence and suicidal ideation in teens.

Susan Bennett of our Trusted Partner, InfoGov ANZ, invites EDRM to take part in the 4th #InfoGov Industry Survey tracking developments over the past 7 years – have your say and provide your valuable insights.
