    The EU AI Act Newsletter #70: First Measures Take Effect

    The Act, which entered its first phase on 2 February just before the Paris AI Summit, now prohibits specific AI applications. Legislative Process The first measures of the AI Act take effect: Le Monde journalist Alexandre Piquard reported that the first phase of the Act began on 2 February, just before the Paris AI Summit.

Real-time facial recognition in public spaces and biometric categorisation for identifying personal characteristics are also banned, with some law enforcement exemptions. The regulation's implementation will be gradual. From 1 August, general-purpose AI models must provide transparency regarding technical documentation and training data, with major models requiring security audits. After that, regulations will extend to high-risk AI applications in [...] --- Outline: (00:18) Legislative Process (02:43) Analysis The original text contained 1 image which was described by AI. --- First published: February 3rd, 2025 Source: https://artificialintelligenceact.substack.com/p/the-eu-ai-act-newsletter-70-first --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. --- Images from the article: Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

    The EU AI Act Newsletter #69: Big Tech and AI Standards

    Corporate Europe Observatory has published an overview arguing that European AI standard-setting bodies are heavily dominated by tech industry representatives. Analysis Feedback on the second Code of Practice draft: Leverhulme Centre for Future Intelligence academics reviewed the second draft of the Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI and acknowledged significant improvements from the first version. The authors praise the balanced approach between Commitments, Measures and KPIs in establishing governance for general-purpose AI models. Their recommendations for the new draft focus on the following areas: increased attention to inference-time considerations, development of a more adaptable tiered system of obligations, stronger external assessment requirements and refinement of the framework for capabilities, propensities and context. The document also suggests methodological improvements to risk assessment, including changes to the taxonomy and more thorough AI evaluations of risk sources, alongside complementary capability-based evaluations with concrete outcome metrics and vulnerability assessments. Specific recommendations include [...] The original text contained 1 image which was described by AI. --- First published: January 20th, 2025 Source: https://artificialintelligenceact.substack.com/p/the-eu-ai-act-newsletter-69-big-tech --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. --- Images from the article: Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

    The EU AI Act Newsletter #67: More Jobs at the AI Office

    The European Commission is currently recruiting Legal and Policy Officers for the European AI Office. Analyses Analysis of the 1st Code of Practice Draft: Yacine Jernite and Lucie-Aimée Kaffee from Hugging Face evaluated the proposed measures for AI Act Code of Practice for general-purpose AI. Jernite and Kaffee state that whilst the transparency measures are generally well-directed, requiring detailed documentation and performance evaluation, improvements are needed to increase public accessibility of information and adapt language for collaborative development settings. The copyright-related measures are deemed promising, particularly in their emphasis on stakeholder collaboration and standardisation. However, the authors raise concerns about potential fragmentation and the impact on smaller developers and copyright holders. The most significant criticism targets the proposed taxonomy of systemic risks, which is considered too narrowly focused on remote hazards whilst overlooking more immediate concerns. The authors suggest a restructured taxonomy addressing, for example, three key areas [...] --- Outline: (00:16) Analyses (07:03) Jobs The original text contained 1 image which was described by AI. --- First published: December 16th, 2024 Source: https://artificialintelligenceact.substack.com/p/the-eu-ai-act-newsletter-67-more --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. --- Images from the article: Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.
