🇪🇺 EU Approves Historic AI Act: Pioneering Comprehensive AI Regulation | vcsi.org
"One of the key aspects of the AI Act is the enforcement mechanism, which includes substantial penalties for non-compliance. The EU Commission is vested with the authority to impose fines of up to €35 million ($38 million) or 7% of a company’s annual global revenue, whichever is higher"
Perhaps someone can help with this problem... and help get more aid to Ukraine.

"FSB Launches Sweeping Purge of Military Elites With Kremlin’s Approval

»Lobbyismus für fragwürdige KI - Ein "Lügendetektor" an der EU-Außengrenze«
Dies sie pure Menschenverachtung nennt sich iBorderCtrl und wurde schon 2018 an einer Konferenz vorgestellt. Es geht bei der KI vor allem um sich von jeglicher Verantwortung zu entziehen und sich trotzdem arrogant gegenüber Menschen sich zu benehmen.

#EU#TechRegulation#TechPolicy: "Is the premise here, that without such shackles, Europe would be free to build competitors equal to the US tech giants? If that’s the presumption, that’s not true. They know this is not true. Anyone who understands the history, the business models, the deep entrenchment of these companies also knows that’s not true.
There may be frustration with regulation ‘slowing down your series B’. But I think we need to look at a definition of ‘progress’ that relies on casting off all guardrails that would govern the use and abuse of technologies that are currently being tasked with making incredibly sensitive determinations; currently being linked with mass surveillance infrastructures that are accelerating new forms of social control; that are being used to degrade and diminish labor. Is that what we want? Is that progress? Because if we don’t define our terms, I think we can get caught in these fairy tales.
Sure, some guys are going to be solidly middle-class after they cash out, and that is good for them. But let’s not conflate that with progress toward a livable future. Progress toward a socially beneficial governance structure, progress toward technology that actually serves human needs, that is actually accountable to citizens."
Thanks to #DW for producing this comprehensive debunking of the "#hydrogen future".
It's ridiculous how many companies are peddling this stupidity (e.g. for home boilers because "we already have gas pipes") and #EU governments are buying into it.

While the Russian authorities boast that they were able to replace the “toxic” #dollar and #euro by transferring a significant part of transactions to the #yuan, the Central Bank is sounding the alarm. For normal operation, companies must be able to attract financing in yuan, but Russian banks are in short supply. #China does not provide them, so you can only rely on the Central Bank and the savings of Russian companies and citizens.
