If you're done with the weekend popcorn around OpenAI, here's something that really matters. You can make sure the government addresses concerns about how AI impacts civil rights. Submit your comment before December 5: Stopaiharms.org

We cannot accept the 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹 proposal on #foundationmodels.
Also, even minimum standards for self regulation would need to cover transparency, cybersecurity and information obligations - which is exactly what we ask for in the #AIAct.
We cannot close our eyes to the risks.

Vorschlag 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹 zu #foundationmodels ist nicht tragbar.
Auch in einer „verpflichtenden Selbstregulierung“ müssen mind. Anforderungen an Transparenz, Cybersicherheit Informationspflichten stehen - das ist aber genau das, was wir im #AIAct haben. table.media/europe/news/ai-a…

We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.

#AI Act: I got my hands on the 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹 non-paper that pushes against regulating foundation models in favour of codes of conduct without an initial sanction regime. “This is a declaration of war,” a parliamentary official told me.

This “follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications w/ the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.”

1/4🚨#AIAct🚨How are the AI Act trilogues progressing on fundamental rights?
As tensions arose last week on foundation models, a major concern is still how far civil society’s demands are being met?
Here’s our understanding of the status of fundamental rights demands:

Rapid technological development & societal change continue to challenge us all as regulators, academics, & data protection professionals.
The IAPP Europe Data Protection Congress was the occasion to reflect on the developments in data protection and digital governance.
