 First to propose, first to deliver: the AI Act enters into force today. It sets comprehensive rules to address the risks of AI: 🔴 Unacceptable risk AI, such as social scoring, is banned Europeans can now safely seize the opportunities of AI: https://europa.eu/!t4QTc8 41 comments
@maikel@vmst.io @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu this is a very short summary, not the actual regulation. If you click on the link at the top you can read a longer writeup, on that page there is also a link to the full regulation which is less vague. @EUCommission wow, this actually looks pretty neat. Realistic about the capabilities and drawbacks of AI, with clear guidelines and pretty nice fines for companies that don't comply.
If I'm reading it correctly, there's also a fine for AI giving false information, which could finally stop search engines from telling people to put glue on pizza and eat rocks  @EUCommission are there any protections for the creators that so-called 'AI' has stolen from for its databases? Or to limit destruction of the environment? These are the two biggest issues and yet not mentioned in your summary. @Rhube@wandering.shop @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu reading the article and regulation, this regulation only deals with where and how you can use AI systems, so it doesnt deal with either of these points What about face recognition in public places? What about using AI to select CVs in enterprises? What about using AI to restrict rights like in Galicia, Spain, where they plan to use AI to detect “people who don’t want to work” and pull them out of unemployment lists? I see your case list as a shortsighted list. @guetto@mathstodon.xyz @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @guetto @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Indeed these are just words I think. The Swedish #fastfashion company I work for in #Spain has an HR employee who ignored to respect GDPR data towards other employees and only care in words about bullies as many remains in their team. It's all a load of bollocks when justice only serves the one who can afford it and never the working class or disfranchised. @guetto @EUCommission the linked page is short, and it includes examples of high risk and unacceptable risks that cover all the scenarios that you mention: - face recognition in public spaces would fall as biometric identification in public spaces which is classified as unacceptable @EUCommission This will hopefully stop cops from using it then just blaming that it is the technology and not their politics that is wrong @EUCommission Baysian spam filters have been around for 20 years now and are not remotely AI... I hope the definition has been carefully worded! @EUCommission Hm how come that spam Filter Ai is minimal risk? Ai is usually Trainer with some Bias. Meaning the Filter will have introduced Bias beyond just comparing ham and no-ham files. This feels quite dangerous imho. Ignoring the whole Environmental issues Ai already introduced  @EUCommission too lenient. Privacy control, copyright respect and ban in medical area when? @EUCommission Unacceptable risk AI systems are banned with "narrow" exceptions. But exceptions are never narrow for criminal states where literally anything can be considered "terrorism". @m @EUCommission To be fair I doubt it changes much. If the law is too restrictive for the criminal state, it will always find another way to bend the law, or use surveillance without AI, non union states would just change its own laws. What's good is that we actually have proper protection for citizens in non criminal states.  @EUCommission And how is the EU addressing the missing intelligence, and the wastefulness? @EUCommission @EUCommission therefore, the risk of intelligent beings is ordered by professions. @EUCommission anyway, only owned understanding models subject to those rules.  @EUCommission @drewmccormack if the act is what is described in this toot it looks quite good.  USA: can we have this too? also USA: :blobfoxdealwithitfingerguns: NO :blobfoxdealwithitfingerguns: USA: :blobfoxangrylaugh: I think @LaQuadrature 's article on the AI Act is worth a read → https://www.laquadrature.net/en/2024/05/22/with-the-ai-act-adopted-the-techno-solutionist-gold-rush-can-continue/#07abe71d-f26f-42e8-a5b1-aa568e009523 @EUCommission I'm a little bit worried that "spam filters" are being seen as "minimal risk". Despite being the technology which may limit the access to information for huge numbers of people. And bunch of secretive manipulations on filtered/unfiltered content could be baked in the model.   @EUCommission @EUCommission From what I’m seeing this seems good, putting reasonable limitations on use without an outright ban that would push the technology underground and out of public view  @EUCommission Spam Filters. So AI that scans and categorizes content and decides how to proceed based on its findings is low risk. Got it.  @EUCommission I do not see there anything against implement an AI as a new EUComission. Maybe we will have a well defined law to control and limit AI that hasnt being tailored for tha American companies developing AI. 😒 @EUCommission How is spam filtering *not* social scoring ... obviously nobody familiar with even 20 year old Bayesian training much less modern infrastructure (as implemented by the likes of Gmail) had any input into this mess.  @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu What category does my RubberDuckGPT AI fall into? |

@EUCommission it's too vague, also AI for recruitment should not be allowed. That's no different from social scoring and AI is incredibly biased against minorities.
It's far far too vague.
