"A Primer on the EU AI Act: We’re sharing a preliminary overview of the EU AI Act including upcoming deadlines and requirements, with a particular focus on prohibited and high-risk use cases."

Some of the very topics we will discuss in our upcoming series on AI... The European Union is already addressing some of these challenges with their new EU AI Act. That said...can you see some challenges with the enforcement of some of the provisions within this legislation? (see the prohibited AI Section)... More to come...let's have a discussion and come together as a Community! As a Community, we have the best chances for success to properly prepare. https://lnkd.in/eJKdrmHT

While I do not think giving into fear is a helpful response, it can be easy to feel that science fiction is involved with some of the potential uses for AI and/or the concerns for some uses that Developers and Data Scientists could potentially create, perhaps inadvertently. Reviewing some of the EU AI Act prohibitive use cases is a good demonstration of that. Please see the full link below for more details of this imminent EU legislation. Prohibited AI systems (Chapter II, Art. 5) The following types of AI system are ‘Prohibited’ according to the AI Act. AI systems (reduced for brevity please see the full article): - Deploying subliminal, manipulative, or deceptive techniques to distort behaviour and impair informed decision-making, causing significant harm. - Exploiting vulnerabilities related to age, disability, or socio-economic circumstances to distort behaviour, causing significant harm. - Biometric categorization systems inferring sensitive attributes (race, political opinions, trade union membership, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, or sexual orientation). - Compiling facial recognition databases by untargeted scraping of facial images from the internet or CCTV footage and inferring emotions in workplaces or educational institutions, except for medical or safety reasons. - ‘Real-time’ remote biometric identification (RBI) in publicly accessible spaces.

EN: 💬 “At OpenAI, we are committed to complying with the Act, not only because this is a legal obligation, but also because the goal of the law aligns with our mission to develop and deploy safe AI to benefit all of humanity.” 📋 OpenAI has recently published a preliminary overview of the EU #AI Act and has provided valuable perspectives on the newly enforced EU legislation, emphasizing the importance of collaboration as the law is implemented.  In this publication #OpenAI anticipates working closely with EU authorities to navigate this pioneering regulation. As we are approaching the formal adoption of this groundbreaking regulation , it’s crucial for professionals and companies (like OpenAI) in the AI space to understand its implications. 📌 Here is OpenAI’s full primer Understanding the EU AI Act.: https://lnkd.in/dbVAKaNF

The EU Council approved the EU Artificial Intelligence Regulation (the "AI Act") on 21st May 2024. The AI Act will apply to different players across the AI distribution chain, including the following: AI providers – those who develop AI systems or have them developed for them; AI deployers – those who use AI systems (except personal use); Importers and distributors of AI; AI product manufacturers; Authorised representatives of AI providers who are not established in the EU; and Affected persons located in the EU.

The EU AI Act came into force today. The act should help to protect children who are particularly vulnerable to exploitation and at risk from AI systems. It will only do this if rigorously enforced. Let's hope it is. https://lnkd.in/eNA3qM4q.

EU released the first major piece of legislation regarding AI: EU Artificial Intelligence Act. This covers an array of inappropriate uses of AI and the fines are dependent on the risk of the infringement up to €30 millions. Link: https://lnkd.in/eDKYfRrM

How do tech companies react to the EU AI Act? OpenAI is committed to complying with the EU AI Act and will be working closely with the new EU AI Office as the law is implemented. #aiact #openai #eu

I asked Chat GPT what it thought about this article and this is what it said: 🚀🌟 Historic moment! The EU Council has given the final green light to the AI Act, making it the first comprehensive AI regulation in the world! 🌍🤖 Key highlights: 🔹 Risk-based classification system to ensure AI applications are safe and ethical. 🚫❗️ Total bans on high-risk AI practices like biometric surveillance and predictive policing. 🔍📢 Stringent transparency requirements for AI-generated content, ensuring clear labeling and disclosure of training data. It's not wrong but I would have said it without all the emoji's!
