    #73 - Open vs Explainable AI: *Elon Musk has entered the chat(bot)*

    Only 9 days ago, on the 5th November 2023, ‘Grok’ was publicly released prompting us to think *Elon Musk has entered the chat (bot)*.

The order also mandates the extensive testing of powerful AI systems by third parties to minimize chances of unintended consequences 2. SEC's fraud charges against SolarWinds and its CISO, Timothy G. Brown, following the Sunburst cyberattack in 2020. The SEC charged SolarWinds and its CISO, Timothy G. Brown, with fraud relating to the Sunburst cyberattack in 2020, alleging that they understated cybersecurity risks to stakeholders, thereby defrauding investors.
