A quick overview of current #AI regulations proposals in the legislative process
(1/n)
Today, I read about someone still using #Google that in his search, he had the first 3 pages of hits with "junk" results which he attributed to #AI generated pages.
#Dems introduced a Bill Requiring Political Ads to Disclose AI Use at the beginning of May, 2023. Even though sensible, I don't see it getting passed due to the distribution of power in Congress,unless there...
Things look a little less bleak with regard to regulating #AI in #Europe:
#UK's #PM#Sunak tries to score some points holding an #AI summit and trying to play a leading role in #AIReguluation. (1)
The #EuropeanUnion, to my knowledge, is furthest ahead in the West. Already in 2021, the #Commission published a proposal to regulate #AI. There have been several stages in the legislation process already. On...
The Future of Life Institute (#FLI), an independent #NPO, in cooperation with #OxfordUniversity, has set up its own website and people can make proposals there, though this is not part of the #EU's legislation process. (2)
If you live in the #EU, you are lucky that there seem to be quite a number of #MEP's that have enough know-how to ascertain risks that the #European#Commission had originally missed in the proposition:
"MEPs substantially amended the list to include bans on intrusive and discriminatory uses of #AISystems such as:
“Real-time” remote #biometric identification systems in publicly accessible spaces;...
...“Post” remote #BiometricIdentification systems, with the only exception of #lawrow enforcement for the prosecution of serious crimes and only after judicial authorization;
#BiometricCategorisation systems using sensitive characteristics (e.g. gender, race, ethnicity, citizenship status, religion, political orientation);
#PredictivePolicing systems (based on profiling, location or past criminal behaviour);
Indiscriminate #scraping of biometric data from social media or CCTV footage to create facial recognition databases (violating human rights and right to privacy)."
The #EU rules "follow a risk-based approach and establish obligations for providers and users depending on the level of risk the #AI can generate."
Like the #Dems in the #US Congress, all Committee members have...
... classified "#AI
systems to influence voters in political #campaigns and in recommender systems used by social media platforms (with more than 45 million users under the Digital Services Act, #DSI) to the high-risk list."
Apart from high-risk #AI, there are rules suggested for General-purpose AI.
"Generative foundation models, like #GPT, would have to comply with additional #transparency requirements,..."
"... like disclosing that the content was generated by #AI, designing the model to prevent it from generating illegal content and publishing summaries of copyrighted data used for #training."
Elections are coming up this fall in several countries and interference by #Russian intelligence services can be expected.
... have been great, if the legislation process would have been fast-tracked. At present, I cannot see how the exponential growth in Chat-GPT's evolution can be matched, in particular, if #embodiment is being pursued. (5)
"EU lawmakers vote for tougher AI rules as draft moves to final stage
"#EuropeanUnion#lawmakers on Wednesday agreed changes to draft #ArtificialIntelligence rules to include a ban on the use of the technology in biometric surveillance and for generative #AI systems like #ChatGPT to disclose AI-generated content.
"...proposed landmark #law aimed at protecting citizens from the dangers of the technology could set up a clash with EU countries opposed to a total ban on #AI use in #BiometricSurveillance."
"In the current draft EU law, 👉#AI systems that could be used to influence voters and the outcome of elections and systems..."
