Anyone who understands Bill C-18, can you enlighten me on how this will affect a platform like #Mastodon? Will instances and their operators need to pay to have the right to share news links? I'm a little confused on how this will work here.
“#EU lawmakers have been finalising the text of the #AI regulation ahead of the vote in the leading parliamentary committees on Thursday (11 May). The #AIAct is a landmark legislative proposal to regulate #ArtificialIntelligence based on its potential to cause harm.”
Many believe the #AIAct will become the gold standard of #regulation around the globe, adopted by giants such as Google, Microsoft and #socialmedia companies.
Now that the #Tories have demonstrated that their declarations on making work better protected in the #gigeconomy, have proved to be just that: empty declarations, it will come as little surprise to you that in the #grocery delivery sector, couriers/delivery riders are being forced back onto piece rate, insecure contracts.
Its almost like any improvements in conditions were a response to the threat of enhanced #regulation; once the 'threat' was removed, so were the improvements in conditions!
The FCC Is Supposed to Protect the Environment. It Doesn’t.
The agency is mandated to safeguard the #environment from damage caused by communication #infrastructure. But when companies want to add new cell phone towers, build on protected land or launch satellites, the agency typically does little or nothing.
This is so maddening to see: “AI, defined as technology that can think humanly, act humanly, think rationally, or act rationally, is also close to being used to simplify the political and bureaucratic business of policymaking.”
