🇪🇺How Big Tech Sets its Own AI Standards Corporate Europe Observatory has published an overview arguing that European AI standard-setting bodies are heavily dominated by tech industry representatives. The investigation shows how major corporations like Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Huawei, IBM and Google are actively involved in developing the harmonised standards required by the EU AI Act. The research, based on expert interviews, social media analysis and public documents, demonstrates how private standard-setting organisations are creating rules that will have legal status in the EU, behind closed doors. The article claims that these industry-led forums are effectively defining what constitutes 'trustworthy' AI. While tech companies present standard-setting as a purely technical process, the investigation argues it is highly political, involving crucial decisions about bias, fairness and fundamental rights. The report highlights that independent experts and civil society organisations are significantly outnumbered and under-resourced compared to corporate representatives. This imbalance raises concerns about the potential for industry-friendly standards to weaken the Act's protections. #AIAct

The EU AI Act Reaches Farther Than Expected New insights suggest the EU's AI Act may have a broader reach than previously understood, potentially impacting organizations worldwide. Tim Hickman and Thomas Harper, legal experts at White & Case LLP, delve into the Act's extraterritorial application. Their analysis reveals that the Act extends beyond EU borders, potentially affecting organizations based outside the EU. According to Article 2(1)(c) of the Act, non-EU entities can be subject to its regulations if the AI outputs they generate are used within the EU, regardless of their intention or whether they actively targeted the EU market. For example, a UK-based company supplying AI-generated content to a Moroccan client could fall under the Act's scope if that content is later used within the EU. This applies even if the provider had no intention of targeting the EU market. Hickman and Harper highlight the potential for loopholes. Even if non-EU providers implement contractual measures, such as prohibiting clients from using their AI outputs in the EU, they might still be held accountable if these agreements are violated. This expansive reach creates significant challenges for non-EU entities in determining their compliance obligations under the Act. The lack of complete clarity necessitates further guidance to ensure responsible implementation. #AIAct

Navigating the EU AI Act: Toolkits Emerge As the EU's landmark AI Act nears adoption, a valuable set of resources is emerging to help organizations navigate its complexities. ✅ The Future of Life Institute's AI Act Explorer has been updated with the latest information from the European Parliament's "Corrigendum" version of April 19th, 2024.

NGOs Assess EU's AI Act NGOs, including EDRi, AccessNow, ARTICLE19, Amnesty International, and others, have released their evaluation of the EU's AI Act. While acknowledging strides in accessibility and transparency, concerns linger over exemptions for law enforcement and national security, alongside partial bans on detrimental surveillance practices. The involvement of civil society is deemed vital for effective implementation. Lessons from the EU's journey should guide global lawmakers in crafting robust AI regulations, emphasizing the need for continual vigilance and improvement. Additionally, the Civil Liberties Union for Europe flagged shortcomings, emphasizing the act's failure to sufficiently safeguard the rule of law and civic space. #AI#AIAct

🇪🇺Europe's Industrial Leaders Call for a Pause on the AI Act A coalition of 46 CEOs from Europe’s most influential companies (including Airbus, ASML, TotalEnergies, Lufthansa, and Mistral) has formally asked the EU to halt the implementation of the AI Act for two years. In an open letter, they argue that the upcoming obligations, particularly for general-purpose and high-risk AI systems, are marred by regulatory ambiguity and administrative overlap. These burdens, they warn, are jeopardizing Europe’s innovation capacity and global competitiveness. The appeal lands amid ongoing debate in Brussels over how to balance economic growth with digital regulation. EU Commissioner Henna Virkkunen has stated she will consider a “clock-stop” if implementation standards are not finalized by August. . #AIAct#AIRegulation

🇪🇺EU Releases Guidelines on Prohibited AI Practices The European Commission has published a 140-page guide on AI practices prohibited under the EU AI Act. These guidelines outline AI applications considered "unacceptable" due to risks to fundamental rights and European values. While non-binding, these guidelines provide legal analysis and practical examples to help stakeholders navigate compliance. The final interpretation will rest with the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). The Commission has approved the draft, but formal adoption is still pending. #AIRegulation#AIAct

Civil Society Calls for Independent AI Regulators A coalition of over 30 civil society organizations, including BEUC, has urged the European Commission to ensure the independence of national authorities enforcing the AI Act. In an open letter, the organizations highlighted concerns over the appointments in Denmark and Italy as examples of questionable practices. They stressed the need for clear guidelines to member states to maintain the integrity and impartiality of AI regulation. #AIRegulation#AIAct

🇪🇺AI Act Implementation at Risk: Civil Society Pushes Back Thirty-one organizations have raised red flags over Member States’ failure to meet deadlines for implementing the EU AI Act and designating national competent authorities. In a joint letter to Commissioner Henna Virkkunen, they warned that Commission pressure to “stop the clock” combined with deregulation risks is creating hesitation at the national level, leaving governance structures underdeveloped. Industry-led delays in standards development only add to the uncertainty. The organizations stressed that these delays have concrete consequences for the protection of fundamental rights. They called on the European Commission and the AI Office to take immediate corrective measures, urging Member States to prioritize implementation this year. The letter underscores the need for well-resourced, inclusive AI governance frameworks with civil society engagement to ensure accountability and effective oversight. #AIAct#AIGovernance

Creative Industries Call for Stronger Protections in EU AI Act A coalition of creative industry organizations representing writers, musicians, and other artists issued a statement regarding the EU AI Act. The statement welcomes the Act's focus on regulating general-purpose AI, particularly its emphasis on compliance with EU copyright laws and data transparency. While supportive, the coalition emphasizes the need for robust implementation of the Act across the EU and member states. A key concern raised is the Act's handling of text and data mining exceptions. The coalition argues these exceptions, designed before the rise of large-scale generative AI models, are inadequate for addressing the use of creative works in AI-generated content. Despite existing EU directives, the organizations argue creators are not adequately compensated for the use of their work in AI-generated content. The statement concludes by urging EU policymakers to engage in open and comprehensive discussions to establish a legal framework that effectively protects creators' rights and ensures fair compensation in the age of generative AI. #AIAct#Copyright
