Traffic from Facebook to established media outlets has dropped dramatically in recent years, which is such a shame for people who like quality news and a huge blow to the business of media companies - the opportunity to spread links to media content on the platform was free advertising for the media. However, this development has not been surprising: Many media outlets claim that link-sharing is a violation of copyright and demand payment for it. Now, the same risk is looming with Google: The media are actively creating an incentive for the platform NOT to share links to their content. At the same time, we hear disgruntled voices from these same media, demanding that Google MUST display their content. It doesn’t make sense. ‘You are evil if you don’t pay to display our links, and you are evil if you don’t display our links’.

Amidst global uncertainty, the EU faces a productivity crisis. As Mario Draghi highlighted, US productivity is now 20% higher than the EU's, and our share of global GDP is shrinking. 📉 The new EU mandate has a crucial task: revitalize Europe's competitiveness. One promising path is AI-driven innovation. AI could add €1.2 trillion to our economy and bring widespread benefits, but we need to adapt. 💡 Let's not miss out on this opportunity. The EU has the potential to be a global leader in AI, driving competitiveness and creating a brighter future for all Europeans. 🚀 Read more about Google's approach to rebuild competitiveness in Europe, alongside innovation with AI in the op ed by Matt Brittin published in L'Echo.

[INTERVIEW] Our founding partner, Claire Poirson shed some legal light on #deepfake scams on TF1 's 8pm news , one of the major French TV channel yesterday. The meteoric progress of Artificial Intelligence now makes it possible to steal the identity, face, voice and facial expressions of celebrities and anonymous people alike. This is known commonly, #deepfake. Pornographic deepfake are proliferating on the Internet. 98% of them are aimed at women. For several months now, scammers have been flooding social networks with fake ads to steal your personal and banking data. In France, since the French #SREN law: publishing a deepfake online using the image of a real person means risking up to 2 years' imprisonment and a 45,000-euro fine, and 3 years' imprisonment and a 75,000-euro fine for deepfake porn. 💡What are the solutions to deepfake scams? Here's what the FIRSH teams can say from its experience: as regular participants in awareness-raising training courses and in the implementation of internal processes (anticipating risk remains the best solution), but also, unfortunately, after the fraud has been committed, here are a few tips on how to spot a #deepfake and, in particular, a fake bank transfer scam (or “president scam”).   1. PREVENTION: Implement awareness-raising policies and detection procedures within the company.  Some reflexes:   ✅on videos: tools for creating false images are still having a little trouble with certain body parts, especially hands and feet (this won't last). Particular attention will also be paid to synchronizing the speaker's lips with the speech.  ✅If you're videoconferencing, ask your interlocutor at the start of the meeting to make a specific gesture, such as a particular head movement.  ✅in the case of email exchanges or a message on an answering machine: analyze the context of the request: it's often urgent, late at night (before leaving) or highly confidential (so that you don't tell others in the company): set up a “safe words” policy . ✅ install detection tools and reinforce your “cyber” policy, particularly concerning the security of your messaging systems.   ✅check your insurance policy 2. ACTION: take appropriate legal action to identify the perpetrators as far as possible, remove the videos online and, if personal data is involved, notify the CNIL (French Data Protection Authority). Thanks to Baptiste Guenais for the interview!

Even if part of the discussion concerned AI in the movie audio/voice sector, our exchanges also highlighted: - AI is a powerful tool which allows to gain time, efficiency on a number of tasks and enhances post production work in particular visual effects, translation, lip sync and dubbing / voice over work - #GenerativeAIs used in the #FilmIndustry raise legal and ethical questions regarding the #TDMException (opt-out), #DataPrivacy, use of #DigitalReplicas, #DeepFakes and #Authentication etc. - Maintaining #HumanCreativity and diversity in terms of content in the film industry will require efforts worldwide from governments, public agencies, unions, associations, privacy authorities and viewers to adopt a mosaique of protective measures. The French report issued on The impact of AI in the movie, audiovisual and gaming industries by the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC) (French government agency which plays a central role in funding, promoting, and preserving French cinema and audiovisual production) stresses the impact on employment but avoids giving any figures... https://lnkd.in/ee-whbzS

A new battle between French #press #publishers and #Google. Yesterday on 13 November, Google announced a temporary experiment in which content from European press publishers would be excluded from Google News, Google Search and Discover for 1% of users in certain European countries - France, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain - from the 14 November. The aim of the test would be to assess the impact of displaying press articles on user experience and traffic to publishers, and would not exclude content from outside Europe. French magazine publishers reacted immediately: They brought the matter before the Paris Commercial Court, which on the same day ordered the suspension of this project under a fine of up to 900,000 euros per day pending the decision of the interim relief judge on the project. SEPM argued that Google's plan was in direct conflict with the commitments that the company made to the French Competition Authority in 2022, which include the following: ‘Google undertakes to ensure that the existence and outcome of negotiations [...] will not affect the indexing, ranking or presentation of protected content included by Google on its products and services’. SEPM points out that Google had already been fined €250 million by the French Competition Authority last March for failing to comply with its commitments. Compliance with these commitments is a key factor in helping to reduce the major imbalance of power in the negotiations on press publishers rights between press publishers and Google. There can be no doubt that this result will protect the immediate interests of the press vis-à-vis Google in this matter, on which it is also very dependent financially and technically. On long term, let's hope that a solution will be found. Link to Google post: https://lnkd.in/eKgbgwQu

EU regulations aim at protecting citizens' rights regarding AI. "The measures proposed by the AI Act are primarily designed to reassure citizens that their rights will be protected, and to provide a framework for future use in an economic sector that is gradually taking shape. A risk-based approach prevails in the face of the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. So, for example, AIs that threaten fundamental rights are prohibited: while ChatGPT 4 (which answers general questions) is considered a minimal risk, ChatGPT applied to critical tasks such as medical applications is considered a high-risk AI. Several education, healthcare and employment sectors have also been identified as high-risk. The decisions of companies operating outside the EU will be impacted, and the effects of European regulation are far from clear. The phenomenon is known among large multinationals as the 'Brussels effect'. It has to be said that the penalties are dissuasive, ranging up to 35 million euros or 7% of annual sales for violations relating to prohibited AI applications". #artificialintelligence #gai #chatgpt https://lnkd.in/e9rymaph

Paris Europlace Crypto-Assets Working Group, chaired by Hubert de Vauplane, welcomes #ESMA consultations on reverse solicitation and on the qualification of #crypto-assets as financial instruments. We appreciate ESMA's approach in determining a broad concept of solicitation, as well as the means and persons involved in which a third-party firm could solicit EU clients, to protect investors and #MiCA-compliant crypto-asset service providers. This approach will help avoid differences in interpretation, ensuring a fair level of #competition between EU crypto-asset market participants. Regarding influencers -a concept that has no definition in European law-, such a concept could lead to large divergences of interpretation between Member States and run counter to the principle of predictability of law. Conversely, the use of general clauses or online pop-up “I agree” boxes, whereby clients state that any transaction is executed on the exclusive initiative of the client, is deemed to be reverse solicitation. Concerning the qualification of crypto-assets as financial instruments, regulation should offer an appropriate degree of legal #protection and facilitate the distinction between crypto-assets within the scope of MiCA and crypto-assets assimilated to financial instruments. Opting for a holistic approach is key, enabling Member States to move forward in an harmonised way on the assimilation of crypto-assets to financial instruments, without the criteria set in place being too strict to rapidly risk becoming obsolete. We thus fully support the technologically neutral approach proposed by ESMA. Given the diversity of the list of securities implemented in jurisdictions and to avoid regulatory shopping within the EU, a Q&A should be produced by ESMA to list examples, for each Member State, for which some crypto-assets could be reclassified as financial instruments under national law. This Q&A could be updated and provide the EU crypto-asset market with global visibility on the qualification risk with a goal of harmonisation within the EU. This Q&A could also serve as a regulatory monitoring tool for the legal status of crypto-assets and help ESMA identify any lack of harmonization. All in all, crypto-assets should be subject to the exact same rules as other traditional financial instruments in line with the principle of technological neutrality. A substance over form approach needs to be adopted to determine if a crypto-asset is qualified as a financial instrument.  Many thanks to all contributors, especially Hubert de Vauplane Philippe Goutay Emilien Bernard-Alzias Myriam Dana -Thomä Matthieu Lucchesi Frederick Lacroix Hugo Bordet Please read the document here: https://lnkd.in/eDMrNWNb European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) – France
