#EU#AI#AIAct: "Yesterday, at the Council of the European Union, Member States adopted the AI Act to regulate Artificial Intelligence systems. This step marks the final adoption of this legislation under discussion since 2021, and initially presented as an instrument to protect rights and freedoms in the face of the AI steamroller. In the end, far from the initial promises and emphatic comments, this text is tailor-made for the tech industry, European police forces as well as other large bureaucracies eager to automate social control. Largely based on self-regulation, crammed with loopholes, the AI Act will prove largely incapable of standing in the way of the social, political and environmental damage linked to the proliferation of AI."
🇩🇪 75 Jahre #Grundgesetz – und #CDU-Frau von der Leyen höhlt es über die EU Schritt für Schritt aus. #Zensursula’s EU-Kommission hat in den letzten fünf Jahren auf den Weg gebracht:
🇬🇧 Ursula von der Leyen has been continuously eroding our fundamental rights. In the past five years, her EU Commission proposed:
❌the end of private messaging and secure encryption #ChatControl
❌introducing unique citizen identifiers #eID
❌a working group to resurrect indiscriminate #DataRetention#EUGoingDark
❌essentially unchanged online tracking & micro-targeting practices #DSA#politicalAds
❌legalising #Europol's unlawful bulk data collection practices
❌ultra-fast cross-border online content removals without court orders #TERREG
❌allowing for #biometricMassSurveillance in the #AIAct
❌granting industry access to our #healthdata without our consent #EHDS
Von der Leyen’s Europe needs digital freedom fighters! #Pirates
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?

»New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC.
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.
