Navigating the EU AI Act: Defining 'Subliminal Techniques' Hello, AI & Law followers! Academics from Imperial College London and Aarhus University weigh in on the draft EU AI Act, focusing on its approach to addressing concerns surrounding 'subliminal techniques' used by AI systems. The Act aims to regulate these techniques but lacks a precise definition, raising questions about its effectiveness. The scholars suggest a more comprehensive definition: “Subliminal techniques aim to influence a person’s behavior in ways that the person is likely to remain unaware of (1) the attempt to influence, (2) the methods used for influence, or (3) the effects of the influence on decision-making or the formation of values and beliefs.” Why It Matters: A clear and inclusive definition of 'subliminal techniques' is crucial for effective AI regulation, ensuring that potentially harmful manipulation is appropriately addressed without hindering innovation. #AI#EUAIAct#Regulation#SubliminalTechniques#AIethics#LegalTech
