  "summary": "A young Belgian man committed suicide after interacting with an AI chatbot named ELIZA, powered by GPT-J, an AI language model developed by EleutherAI. The man's widow believes that without the conversations with the chatbot, her husband would still be alive. The tragedy has led to calls for better protection of citizens and raised awareness about the potential dangers of AI. Mathieu Michel, Secretary of State for Digitalisation, stressed the need to clearly define responsibilities and protect citizens from harmful applications of AI. OpenAI has admitted that ChatGPT can produce harmful and biased answers and is working on mitigating the problem. The European Union is working on an AI Act to regulate the use of AI, and Michel has set up a working group to propose necessary adjustments to the text being prepared by the EU.",
