#AIRegulation

It's the 2nd of August, the day all the big AI companies had marked in their calendar (or so I hope).

From today onwards all new General Purpose AI models (GPAI) released in the EU need to fulfil certain new obligations under the EU AI Act:

That includes transparency on training data, energy consumption, incident reporting and more.

One year has passed since the EU AI Act came into force, kicking off a two year transition.

This weekend another milestone will be reached, with new obligations for providers of General Purpose AI models in the high-risk and systemic risk category.

The Trump administration fought hard yesterday to direct people's focus on its new grand "AI Action Plan", a plan to secure "American dominance" in #AI.

A first look what is in there, how the US wants to reach "AI dominance", end "woke AI" and do away with #AIRegulation

ICYMI, only weeks away from the next phase of the EU AI Act coming into force (the AI Act rules on general-purpose AI apply from 2 August), the EU last week published its "General-Purpose AI (GPAI) Code of Practice".

The code is organised in three chapters: Transparency, Copyright, and Safety and Security. #AI #AiRegulation

digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/

Shaping Europe’s digital futureThe General-Purpose AI Code of PracticeThe Code of Practice helps industry comply with the AI Act legal obligations on safety, transparency and copyright of general-purpose AI models.

"I would suggest that we do not forget that OpenAI, Meta, Google, and some of the top VC firms in Silicon Valley were behind this bill and driving for its passage. Or that, had these companies not sent teams of lobbyists to DC and sold the idea that AI is a zero sum arms race with China, it would not have existed at all. That biggest AI companies—Anthropic excepted, to its credit, even if its opposition was performative—were directly campaigning to exempt their products and practices from the democratic process. They were actively pushing to radically de-democratize a technology they are selling us all as a great force for democratization.

As OpenAI and Meta et al quietly move on to building and selling their next generation of AI products, don’t forget what they tried to do. Which, essentially, can be boiled down to “stop California from passing laws to regulate AI that might take a little time and money to comply with.”"
