In case you missed it: After #GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), after the #DMA (Digital Markets Act), after the #CRA (Cyber Resiliency Act), The EU continues to lead the way with the #AiAct. None of these regulations are perfect. Many will argue they are not even Good Enough(tm). And I agree in parts. But in general I applaud the #EU for not shying away from regulations that are (IMHO) needed. So I once again say #ThanksEU and now the hard work to make these regulation better starts :)
Mit dem KI-Gesetz/#AIAct winkt der EU-Rat heute mit Zustimmung der Bundesregierung eine Betriebsanweisung zur Errichtung eines High-Tech-Überwachungsstaats mit Echtzeit-#Gesichtserkennung im ganzen Land durch.
Nochmal meine Rede dazu als #Piraten-Europaabgeordneter: Nein zu biometrischer #Massenüberwachung, Ja zur Freiheit!
Ist auf meinem ersten Blick nicht schlecht aber unsere persönliche Daten (Gesichtserkennung) sind deswegen von der KI nicht geschützt. Dies kann mMn sogar massiv missbraucht werden.
»AI Act – Das KI-Gesetz ist endgültig beschlossen:
Die Regeln treten in 20 Tagen in Kraft. Besonders risikoreiche KI-Anwendungen sollen verboten werden, für Gesichtserkennung bleiben Ausnahmen.«
🧵 …werden deswegen Micrsoft Produkte wie Windows, diesbezüglich in der EU unbrauchbar sein und es wird deswegen indirekt Open-Source Produkte gefördert?

Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."«
#EU#AI#AIAct#Copyright#TDM: "This policy brief further develops the ideas expressed in our previous policy brief on this topic in light of the copyright provisions of the AI Act. Article 53(1c) of the AI Act requires providers of general-purpose AI models to implement policies to comply with EU copyright law, particularly, with the machine-readable opt-outs from the text and data mining (TDM) exception. This new Open Future policy brief explores what such a compliance policy might look like in practice. It provides an overview of the technical standards and services that are available to implement rights holders’ opt-outs in a way that is effective, scalable, and able to meet the needs of both rights holders and AI model developers.
The brief argues that to achieve this goal, four different aspects of machine-readable opt-outs require further attention: the identifiers for works, the vocabulary for opt-outs, the infrastructure used to communicate and respect opt-outs, and the effect of an opt-out once it has been recorded. For each of these four areas, there is a need to build consensus and converge on solutions that work for all stakeholders."
👨💼: Hello this is the market surveillance authority for the #EU#AIAct, how can we help?
🤦♀️: Hi, I'd like to report an AI system. I just turned it on this morning and it's only gone and violated several of my fundamental rights.
👨💼: Sorry to hear that, how bad is the damage?
🤦♀️ : Pretty bad. There's smoke coming out of Article 7 and I can see it's infringed all down the side of Article 10. I'm not even going to look at Article 11 without my safety goggles.
What can we discover by reading the terms and conditions of #GenAI tools? What do users consent to? What are the regulatory responses in 🇪🇺 🇨🇳 🇺🇸?
Join our online event on May 23 at 16:30 UTC+2 to discover the #GenerativeAI Watch project! https://www.sciencespo.fr/ecole-droit/en/events/generative-ai-watch/
We will present a dataset of terms and conditions of major generative #AI services, some of the discoveries that we made when tracking their changes, and how the changing regulatory landscape could impact those terms. #AIAct#TermsSpotting
In den nächsten Monaten muss Deutschland festlegen, welche Behörde(n) die Aufsicht über KI-Systeme nach der KI-Verordnung übernehmen soll. Die Datenschutzkonferenz @dsk spricht sich dafür aus, dass die Datenschutzbehörden diese Rolle übernehmen.
#AI#EU#AIAct#Biometrics#Surveillance#MassSurveillance: "Throughout spring 2024, European Union (EU) lawmakers have been taking the final procedural steps to pass a largely disappointing new law, the EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act.
This law is expected to come into force in the summer, with one of the most hotly-contested parts of the law – the bans on unacceptably harmful uses of AI – slated to apply from the end of 2024 (six months and 20 days after the legal text is officially published).
The first draft of this Act, in 2021, proposed to ban some forms of public facial recognition, showing that lawmakers were already listening to the demands of our Reclaim Your Face campaign. Since then, the AI Act has continued to be a focus point for our fight to stop people being treated as walking barcodes in public spaces.
But after a gruelling three-year process, AI Act negotiations are coming to an underwhelming end, with numerous missed opportunities to protect people’s rights and freedoms or to uphold civic space.
One of the biggest problems we see is that the bans on different forms of biometric mass surveillance, or BMS, are full of holes. BMS is the term we’ve used as an umbrella for different methods of using people’s biometric data to surveil them in an untargeted or arbitrarily-targeted way – which have no place in a democratic society."

Ich kann gut verstehen, dass die Piraten den #AIAct (in der Form) abgelehnt haben, aber auch dass etwa die Grünen zugestimmt haben. Von der endgültigen Abstimmung hängt jetzt mein Wahlverhalten nicht wirklich ab, eher von dem Engagement in den Verhandlungen und da schneiden die Piraten natürlich gut ab. Das ist aber wiederum natürlich schlechter darstellbar...
