19 of The World's Largest Tech Companies ORDERED to REVEAL Algorithms Behind Their Latest AI Developments....
The European Commission is making 19 tech giants, including Amazon, Google, TikTok, and YouTube, reveal their AI algorithms under the Digital Services Act. This is a significant step towards making AI more transparent and accountable, and ultimately, improving our lives.
As we know, AI is expected to impact every aspect of our lives, from healthcare to education, to even how well we write. However, it also generates fear, such as concerns about machines becoming smarter than us or causing harm inadvertently. To avoid these risks, transparency and accountability will be crucial for AI to benefit us positively.
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act aims to achieve this goal. By sharing commercial information with regulators before using AI for sensitive practices such as hiring, companies can be held accountable for the outcomes of their algorithms. EU rules could quickly become the global standard, making this a significant development in AI regulation.
However, there's always a balance to strike when it comes to regulation. The major tech companies view AI as the next big thing, and innovation in this field is now a geopolitical race. Too much regulation could stifle progress, but at the same time, we need to make sure that companies are accountable for their algorithms' outcomes.
Companies will also need to answer any questions the commission members have about their AI projects.
\This is a significant development for AI regulation that will benefit everyone. By making AI more transparent and accountable, we can ensure that it improves our lives and avoids the potential risks.
Will They Even Have The Answers?
Interestingly, AI researchers are increasingly devoting time to understanding what AI is doing. Sometimes they can dig into the data and identify particular parameters on which the AI relies heavily. However, explaining why AI did or said something can be like explaining a magic trick without knowing the secret.
This may be the most alarming revelation from these hearings – the creators don't always understand their creations.

Banking App PAYS YOU To Try It Out - Stars Leonardo DeCaprio and Robert Downey Jr Fund New 'Green' Banking Startup...
With DiCaprio's Investment This "Environmentally Cconscious" Banking App is PAYING People to Try It...
Yes, the rumors are confirmed that a "green digital banking" solution that just launched is backed by the funds of DiCaprio himself.
With these funds they can afford the expensive but effective marketing strategy of paying people to try it out - you can claim $50 once you setup the app and your first transaction.
DiCaprio is going all in on his 'stop global warming' campaign, so this is part of multiple earth-friendly investments, others include the climate technology fund with Princeville Capital, and new adviser role with green start-up Bluon Energy.
"Each year, $100 billion worth of pipelines, drilling and other fossil fuel-extraction projects are funded with money deposited at traditional banks. To bring about long-term solutions for our planet, we need alternatives that empower everyday consumers to take action against climate change…" is how DiCaprio decided to invest in the new app, he tells us.
With this, the Aspiration Banking App has $100 Million in venture capital to play with, and they're spending it.
This graphic shows some of the new things they're bringing to banking....:

| A look at some features. |
Get Your Piece of the $100 Million Pie…
Now you can get those good feelings Leo got, by getting the app, getting a $50 'welcome' deposit from then, and then choosing a charity you'd like them to donate another $25 to.
At a price tag of $75 spent on every new user it's the biggest mobile banking app bonus we've seen so far.
…and that's not even everything, lastly, being a user comes with cell phone insurance up to $600 included for free!
I have to admit, it feels good getting some perks from a bank, that's something I only heard of as a 'back in my day' story from parents and grandparents.
Is It Actually Worth Using?
It actually is! They refund your ATM charges (not just the ones your bank charges, they literally pay you $3 if an ATM charged you $3!)
The app is free, with the option to donate if you like it, or not.
They pay you interest on the funds you save with them, and those profits won't be made by investing in companies that pollute.
So do some good for the world, and claim your $50 by joining the free app now.

FINALLY - We Have DoorDash, UberEats and Uber Promo Codes... For EXISTING Users! (2022 Updated!)
If you’re using Uber, UberEats, or DoorDash in 2022, you likely placed your first order using a promo code that was strictly for brand spanking new users. Since then, you’ve spent plenty but haven’t gotten any discounts, like they forgot about existing customers.
Finally there’s an answer for everybody asking when these apps will have promo codes for existing users! It’s about time those that faithfully and frequently get rides from Uber, or food delivered from Doordash and Uber Eats get something too.
The Existing Users Discount Comes Easier Than You'd Think.
All You Need Is This App For iPhone Or Android...
It's called Fluz, and yes it’s totally free — no membership fees ever! you merely use it when ordering your food from Doordash/UberEats, or before you invite a ride from Uber.
Available for both iPhone and Android, and it gives you discounts on EVERY ORDER you make on any of these popular apps, regardless of how long you've been a customer.
Up To 45% Off EVERY Time…
Yep, we’re not talking a few small discount either. This really adds up if you employ these apps often like I do.
At the time of publishing this , the present offer is 20% but I think it goes as high as 38% and as low as 2% (there’s dozens of popular places you'll earn cashback from on here, and it looks like they rotate which of them pay high or low).
Better than Getting A Promo Code As An Existing User of Uber and DoorDash.
The Fluz App Is Quick Cashback Earnings From Dozens Of Popular Places. catch on at https://www.fluz.rocks
Actually Get Your ‘Cash Back’…
You may have wasted time on other apps that used the term ‘cash back’ just to see future discounts had a limited place to use them.
I’m happy to report, none of that BS here. You’re able to transfer money to your checking account via PayPal — whenever you want… the cash = back!
With No Fees, Ever…
This isn’t some scheme where they’ll let a bunch of individuals join free, then slap a monthly fee on once it’s popular enough. Fluz promises to NEVER charge a fee.
“No transaction fees. No signup fees. No payout fees” - just discounts!
How are they able to give these discounts?
My first concern was — are they selling my personal info? Not only is that not happening — but they’re actually protecting it. They guard your info with “Bank level-security” AES-256 encryption.
You only got to link your card once then can begin spending at dozens of places earning cash back. Before Fluz, you'd have needed to type in your card to each of them.
They’ve simply arranged partnerships with the businesses you see inside. Apps like this attract smart spenders — the people that search for good rewards programs actually tend to earn extra money. They’re people that are smart with their money, because they worked hard to earn it.
So — existing users of Uber, Uber Eats, and Doordash — enjoy this one! Life isn’t so bad as an existing customer.
Grab your discounts at https://www.fluz.rocks/
