Außerdem in dieser Folge mit dabei: Highlights aus dem Dresdner Stadtrat, jede Menge #Überwachung und Neuigkeiten über Nazis und Demonstrationen gegen diese.
> W połowie maja Sam Altman (szef #OpenAI) przekonywał komisję Senatu USA, że AI jest potencjalnie niebezpieczna i wymaga silnych regulacji. W tym samym czasie firma po cichu lobbowała w UE, by jej produkty nie były uwzględnione w kategorii wysokiego ryzyka w #AIAct.
The EU's landmark #AIAct was agreed at minutes to midnight yesterday. Whilst lawmakers celebrate, human rights groups are sceptical.
As someone who's spent years calling on the EU to #BanBiometricMassSurveillance via the @reclaimyourface campaign, here's my take on where they landed:
First INTERNATIONAL law on AI. Don’t dismiss what China, Australia, Brasil, & others have achieved. But not only is the #AIAct big in itself. It, the #DSA the #DMA, & yes the #GDPR are important first steps to how we can ALL regulate transnational entities https://video.consilium.europa.eu/event/en/27283
#OpenAI ha fatto pressioni sull'UE per indebolire l'imminente regolamentazione dell'IA, anche se in pubblico chiede barriere di protezione dell'IA più forti, come mostrano i documenti ottenuti dal #TIME
“#BigTech companies calling for government help is to me like a circle of anonymous alcoholics, ‘I need help because I can't stop myself’. These are the big companies getting hundreds of millions of dollars from the capital market, and who now go to governments telling ‘we don't know what we're doing’. This cannot be. With big power comes big responsibility to society.” — Roberto Viola, DGCNECT at #NGIForum23@EC_NGI

Good new piece from Tech Policy Review arguing that #AI regulation should build on frameworks for social media regulation. Instead of inventing the wheel anew.
The piece focuses on the US context - so it's worth to translate these ideas into European context, where connections are increasingly made between #AIAct and the #DSA. Ideas about platform responsibility and regulation, especially around systemic risks, can be translated into the #AI debate (and this is actually happening).
This, by the way, is an interesting case of policymakers being quite agile. Regulation is criticised for being too slow - here there's a chance for quite an adaptive approach.
Habt ihr's auch gelesen, Marco Buschmann fordert ne Kennzeichnung für KI-Bilder?
Nun, der Verkauf des Buschmann-Zitats als "Forderung" durch u.a. die Deutsche Presse-Agentur ist Käse. Die EU hat sich jüngst auf eine KI-Verordnung geeinigt, inklusive Kennzeichnungspflichten für Deepfakes. Da muss man gar nix mehr fordern.
#EU#AI#AIAct#AIRegulation: "The Spanish presidency needs to conclude the technical preparation for the EU’s AI Act this week to request a revised mandate ahead of what is meant to be the last high-level meeting to reach a political agreement on the file.
(...)
On open source, the presidency argues that this is a critical innovation driver in the technology field but that the risks linked to the use or characteristics of AI products do not depend on the type of license under which they were delivered.
To balance innovation and protection, “the Presidency proposes an exemption from the AIA obligations in the case of systems and components provided under open source licenses.”
At the same time, the note specifies that high-risk AI systems and high-impact foundation models – or General Purpose AI models with systemic risks as they are now called – would still be covered under the regulation. Member states are asked whether they can accept this approach.
As no legislative text has been proposed, it is unclear if the presidency wants to propose new text or accept the EU Parliament’s mandate, which similarly excluded AI components provided free and open source licenses from the regulation’s scope, except for high-risk uses and foundation models."
The decision by the European Parliament to ban AI systems of biometric mass surveillance in public spaces is welcome. It should be reflected in the UK.
We must protect civil liberties from the encroachment of the state that’s leading us down the road of predictive policing.
I'm skeptical of the announcement from Ursula von der Leyen on the use of EU supercomputers by AI startups.
AFAIK they are not clusters of H100s / TPUs. It's not even close to be competitive infrastructure for training LLMs. LUMI for example runs on AMD MI250X GPUs.
Nicht nur legitimiert der #AIAct der EU flächendeckende biometrische Massenüberwachung in Echtzeit im öffentlichen Raum.
Jetzt lese ich: Gesichtserkennung in aufgezeichneten Überwachungsbändern (z.B. Demos) soll ganz ohne Richtervorbehalt und schon bei Bagatellstraftaten möglich sein!
Das Ziel, maschinelles Lernen mit Grundrechten und unseren Werten in Einklang zu bringen, wird total verfehlt.
When your business model relies on theft and you don't like proposed regulations that would expose that theft ... that's a pretty good sign the regulations are on the right track.
💥 Estamos en un momento decisivo: la UE está a punto de ultimar la regulación de la IA. Y necesitamos que @carmeartigas escuche a #IACiudadana.
No queremos ponernos dramáticas, pero este es el hilo más importante que hemos hecho nunca...
¿Qué pasa? 🤔
La regulación europea de la IA (#AiAct) está debatiéndose sin transparencia. Existe el riesgo de que el texto final no sirva para garantizar la protección de derechos fundamentales. El último borrador conocido es insuficiente.‼️
Neue Folge im #TheDinerPodcast: Gesellschaft und KI: Wir sind völlig undvorbereitet auf die #Krise in der wir schon stecken. Im Gespräch mit @peterpur über generative #KI, Gesetzgebung und #Lobbying, was wir in der Schule lernen sollten, Lügen in Krisen, #Ästhetik und die stete Frage danach, was wir als #Gesellschaft überhaupt wollen. #AI#AIAct
