Big day today!!! 🚀The EU AI Act enters into force on 1st of August and will apply to any artificial intelligence (AI) systems already in place or in development.   🚀The act is widely considered to be the first legislation in the world that attempts to regulate AI based on the risks it poses.  🚀Lawmakers passed the legislation in March, but its publication in the European Commission’s official journal in July set the wheels in motion for its coming into force.  🚀The August 1 date sets off a series of dates and timelines over the months and years ahead to prepare companies that use AI in any capacity to get familiar with the new legislation and comply.  🚀AI Act evaluates companies based on risk The EU AI Act assigns its rules to every company using AI systems based on four levels of risk which in turn determines what timelines apply to them. The four types of risk are: no risk, minimal risk, high risk, and prohibited AI systems.  🚀The EU will ban certain practices entirely as of February 2025. That includes those that manipulate a user’s decision-making or expand facial recognition databases through internet scraping. #ai #eu #regulation

How does the executive order on AI affect government contractors? President Biden signed an Executive Order (EO) on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence on October 30, 2023. While the EO contains many mandates that will impact commercial entities, sections 9 and 10 of the EO, concerning privacy protection and the federal government's use of artificial intelligence, are of particular interest to government contractors. These requirements will directly impact how AI resources are developed, funded, and procured by the government.

Ireland's government has taken a significant step towards integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its public services by mandating compliance with seven ethical AI requirements. Developed by the European Commission, these guidelines focus on human agency, safety, privacy, transparency, non-discrimination, societal impact, and accountability. This move aligns with the EU's forthcoming AI Act, positioning Ireland at the forefront of ethical AI usage in public services. #Public #ArtificialIntelligence #Technology https://lnkd.in/dSS2bzRc

In 2021, all 193 member states of the UNESCO adopted a historic agreement that defines common values and principles needed to ensure the healthy development of AI. The agreement aims to guide the construction of necessary legal infrastructure to ensure the ethical development of AI. It highlights the advantages of AI while reducing risks, addressing issues around transparency, accountability, and privacy. The recommendation explicitly bans the use of AI systems for social scoring and mass surveillance. #EthicsTech

🚀 Exciting News in the World of Artificial Intelligence Governance 🚀 Two days ago, Europe took a significant leap forward with the passage of the European (EU) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act.
