g p t competitors and for entire industry. and energy costs are contributing to inflation around the world. but as many people get ready for christmas, higher costs are often packing holidays which at that time again dw business, welcome, tick tock, parent company bite, dance has admitted that its staff access journalists data to track their locations . the journalists had reported on the contents of leaked company materials. take talk as long tried to convince customers and governments of major markets that uses data. privacy is protected by dance and tick tock initially denied the allegations . the company says that the chief internal auditor who led the team involved in the operation has been fired. alice had over to our in house tick tock, expert against quarter is on wall street for us. yes, and tell us more about what the platform was accused of. yeah, definitely mean the saga continues. so, i mean, obviously by dan,

so the parent company of for tick tock was doing some internal investigation, seeing how some internal information actually leaked out of tick tock to john or the center during this investigation. obviously, a by dance actually did inappropriately obtain a data from 2 journalists and also form some other users a being involved or in contact were. so it's a journalist. so what we're here is that 4 people have been fired to in china and to in the united states, sir, but definitely, i mean, that definitely is heating up the whole discussion of when it comes to tick tock and user privacy. yeah, tick tock was already under great scrutiny from politicians. most recently a trump and most famously. and what does this mean for regulation of the app then? especially in the u. s. now, well, i mean a lot to could happen at this point term. i mean, it is

a huge scandal. if you ask me and are under the trump administration, there were a discussions to maybe a been a tick tock entirely from the united states, or said by dancers to sell the business in the u. s. business. that new stuff, tick, tock, go to an american corporation. so right now, the idea is to put the user data from american users, and we're talking about officially a 100000000 users here in the united states alone on a cloud server from the usa company. i'm oracle, so there could be more regulation, there could be a been, or there could be a cell of, of the u. s. m, entity of tick tock. so, but something i guess will and it has to happen. right? well again, thanks for that update and have a happy christmas chat g p t is taking the world by storm. the chap bought developed by open a, i uses a large language model to answer questions and complete tasks. what's what

a lot of people worried is just how good it is that a range of tasks from brightened letters to checking developers code to even programming games. so i decided to give it a try myself. let's take a look. first, ask it to pitch me a sick. com set, an eighty's west berlin. it came up with the characters and an outline of the story all by itself. and i asked it to write a scene with a few jokes, but hilarious but possible. then i told chat g p t to draw a hallowani meal plan for the week. you can see it here, just a sec building the table. there we go. and the ideas were pretty good. and then comes coding. i asked chat g p t to write a simple to do app in python, and you know what? not only did it write the code, but it actually works when i tested it out. script writer nutritionist program are all in one and much more besides i was talked to joshua brown, a ceo of do not pay a company that uses a i to provide legal services to consumers. joshua,

thank you very much for joining us. and 1st of all, can you just give us some more examples from your own company? how do you leverage ai? so do not pay is the waltz 1st robot lawyer that uses a i to help consumers get refunds and get out of tickets. i last week for the 1st time ever. we used our a i to negotiate a utility bill down with a company called comcast in the united states. and the a i actually spoke to comcast with via an online chat and went back and forth and negotiated with them. and it was very convincing and actually very manipulative which no worries us because we wanted to always tell the truth. you say, you say manipulative with a wry smile there, but you heard my examples i just gave as well do you think future a eyes or maybe even going on your business? current eyes will replace lawyers, programmers, writers, and others entirely. i think that there are a lot of good lawyers out bad,

like the ones may be arguing in the course of human rights. but there are a lot of people including lawyers that charge way too much money just for copying and pasting documents. and if the i can cray or a meal plan, it can certainly create a very basic legal document. so our mission is to use this technology to make it almost free for consumers to access their legal rights. and that's really important because the current system is paid to play. if you have the most money, you can hire the best lawyers and act crates. walk justice, and that's not good. but you can imagine a law firm where i'm a majority of the people are doing a lot of legal work, this very specific in terms of the drawing of the documents and looking up case law and so on. and that maybe 50 percent 90 percent theoretically, could be replaced by an a i that's bad for all of these people who went out to study and get those jobs. and you know, it's got to be extraordinarily impactful. what do you say to all these people

who've studied law and now in the situation where within the next 2 years, they could be out of a job? well, with every new technology, the era winners and losers, the loses in this case. so the people charging hundreds of dollars or hundreds of euro's an hour to copy and paste documents. but the winners are the ordinary people who and if they have their landlord is keeping on to their security deposit, they can now get justice. and maybe there will be some transition in the economy, but there will be new jobs crated. maybe there will be jobs to actually build the i or keep it maintained. and whenever you, new technology has come, typically it's crated opportunity for everyone. but there are individuals who will have to adapt. ok, well the future is going to be very interesting and it's coming fast. joshua brown from do not pay. thank you very much. thank you. now to some of the other global business stories making news. facebook's parent
