Morgen Mittag ist es soweit 🔥🔥🔥: Das @Europarl_DE wird über den #AIAct, das #KI-Gesetz, abstimmen.
Die Konservativen - also inkl. @CDU - stellen sich gegen Bürgerrechte und wollen das Verbot für biometrische Massenüberwachung (Gesichtserkennung etc) kippen!
Die #KI-Verordnung soll das weltweit erste Gesetz werden, das künstliche Intelligenz umfassend reguliert. #AIAct
Verbote soll es für folgende künstliche Intelligenz geben: Emotionserkennung, biometrische Fernidentifizierung im öffentlichen Raum, "Predictive Policing" und Social Scoring. #AIAct
Es gibt auch Vorschriften für große Sprachmodelle wie #ChatGPT. Dass diese #KI-Systeme nun mitreguliert werden, ist ein großer Erfolg gegen die Big Tech-Lobby. Für sie gibt es nun Risikobewertungen, Data-Governance (inkl. Bias) und mehr. #AIAct
Der Text des EU-Parlaments #AIAct enthält auch Vorschriften zu Umweltstandards und #Nachhaltigkeit von KI-Anwendungen. Die Auswirkungen von KI-Systemen auf die Umwelt müssen endlich systematisch messbar werden!
Zur „Hochrisiko-KI“ gehören: Empfehlungssysteme sozialer Medien, sowie #KI-Systeme im Bildungsbereich (E-Proctoring), Personalwesen zur Bewertung von Kandidat*innen, in Behörden beim Zugang zu Diensten, bei Asyl- & Grenzkontrollen, sowie im Justizbereich. #AIAct
Was passiert nun mit der #KI-Verordnung: Ab der morgigen Abstimmung (ca.12:30 Uhr) kann die Trilogverhandlung zwischen den Gesetzgebern (Parlament & Rat, unterstützt von der Kommission) beginnen. #AIAct

Last Friday, the #DigitalServicesAct deal was agreed. The #DSA is a gamechanger for our lives, society & the internet. It's incredibly important for regulating digital services, in particular the very big online platforms. But what does the deal mean & what's in it? Long 🧵
Clear rules for illegal content: In future, orders by judicial and administrative authorities of the Member States against illegal content (Article 8) and orders for information (Article 9). #DigitalServicesAct
All online services must have a contact point or legal representative in the EU. This also applies to services like Telegram. No one can operate on the market in Europe without complying with European law. #DigitalServicesAct
My 2c on #ElonMusk#TwitterTakeover: If Musk implements his announcements, it means that Twitter can pack up here in Europe.
With free speech absolutism, he underestimates the consequences for our democracy and will clash with obligations under the EU's #DigitalServicesAct.
#ElonMusk will soon be confronted with the #DigitalServicesAct: content moderation in the EU must meet high standards & respect all fundamental rights. The #DSA contains many strict rules for the biggest platforms - and Twitter will very likely fall in the VLOPs category.
The #DigitalServicesAct means that Twitter has to invest in human content moderators, it has to comply with due diligence obligations, such as risk assessments of its service & algorithms for society. If he doesn't comply: there will be heavy fines!
Today the European Commission officially presented its proposal for harmonised rules on artificial intelligence that has the ambition to create a framework for #artificialintelligence that respects European values. Is it fit for purpose? At first sight: No. [Thread] 1/23
First of all, very few applications are prohibited. Among them, the ban of remote biometric identification is in. In theory. In practice the exceptions granted to law enforcement agencies are too broad to call this provision a ban. #reclaimyourface 2/23
There is no ban for gender identification and recognition of sexual orientation either. Subject to a ban are subliminal techniques beyond a person’s consciousness, but only if they cause physical or psychological harm to that person. 3/23
The European Commission presents an interesting proposal to regulate high risk AI systems. Hey, we’re on our way to become a global standard setter and to align AI with democratic European values. Or aren’t we? Here are some of my preliminary observations: #AI#womenintech
AI systems that manipulate human behavior “to the detriment” of the persons using the systems shall be banned. That is a great idea. But the devil is in the detail. What does “detriment” exactly mean and how can those persons know and prove they have been manipulated?
AI systems used for “indiscriminate surveillance” shall also be banned – if applied “in a generalized manner to all natural persons without differentiation”. Does that qualify as a ban of targeted (surveillance) advertising? Asking for a #DSA shadow rapporteur.
