One year ago, the #AIAct officially became EU law.

One year on, the enforcement and implementation of the landmark law has been riddled with challenges. Worryingly, EU lawmakers seem to be caving in to calls from tech companies to pause, delay and even gut crucial parts of the #AIAct - which will be disastrous for our rights. This is also in line with EU's own #deregulation push

Here's what's happening with the #AIAct and our recommendations to the Commission https://edri.org/our-work/one-year-of-the-ai-act-whats-the-political-and-legal-landscape-now/

Czy wszyscy już przyzwyczaili się do kamer monitoringu na ulicach? To teraz nadchodzi następny level: rozpoznawanie twarzy w czasie rzeczywistym. Wprawdzie #AIAct zakazuje używania #RBI przez służby, ale trwają prace nad wdrożeniem unijnego rozporządzenia w Polsce i na pewno pojawią się głosy, że przecież bezpieczeństwo.

W Portalu Samorządowym ukazał się tekst z komentarzem naszego eksperta, Mateusza Wrotnego, który wyjaśnia związane z tym zagrożenia:

I only now read Georg Riekeles' excellent 2022 account of #BigTech's outrageous global #lobbying influence. While I don't agree with everything (e.g. his take on #liability and the #copyright debate), after 15 years in #EU #Brussels I'd say his long-read is frighteningly accurate.

Includes special mentions of @corporateeurope and other crucial civil society groups fighting back.

A must-read: https://medium.com/@georg.riekeles/teknopolis-7cbe48a5fcf2

EU’s AI Act doesn’t do enough to protect artists’ copyright, creative groups say https://www.byteseu.com/1249763/ #AIAct #ArtificialIntelligence #artist #Europe

The #EU has published the full list of #signatories to the generative #AICodeofPractice, including major US and EU developers like #Amazon, #OpenAI, and #Google. Notably absent are Chinese companies and Meta. While signing the Code is voluntary, it is considered compliant with the EU’s #AIAct. https://www.euractiv.com/section/tech/news/commission-publishes-full-list-of-ai-companies-signed-up-to-code-of-practice/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Queríamos irnos de vacaciones, pero resulta que hoy se cumple un año de la entrada en vigor de la #AiAct y... no tenemos buenas noticias.

Las autoridades de toda Europa se están preparando para aplicar la ley por fases, pero las protecciones por las que luchamos están en riesgo. A puerta cerrada, la Comisión Europea se está poniendo del lado de las grandes tecnológicas, y de algunos gobiernos de la UE.

Réguler l’IA, oui. Mais à quel rythme ?
Bruxelles avance, malgré les appels à la pause.
L’équilibre entre innovation et protection est plus que jamais crucial.

Meta stellt sich gegen die KI-Pläne der EU

Meta, der US-Konzern hinter Facebook und Instagram, lehnt den EU-Kodex zur KI-Regulierung ab. Das Unternehmen sieht Überregulierung und Innovationsbremsen.
