The Alan Turing Institute’s Post

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

A great explainer for the time poor on the EU's AI Act (with emphasis on the National Security Implications) from the always excellent Rosamund Powell!

An interesting read and great explainer on the EU's AI Act (with emphasis on the National Security Implications) that comes into force today.

Imagine if your loved ones-your children, your family, your friends-had their most personal moments, private information, and even their sense of security shattered by a breach they never saw coming... These can be the results of the current rampant AI misuse, which is growing daily as a result of bad actors exploiting AI technology. The EU has released the AI Act to guide the use of responsible AI to combat such problems. The EU influences policy across the world so this landmark regulation will likely seep into global approaches to AI. There's just one problem...reading that thing without a law degree is pretty daunting! As such, we're excited to share privacy analyst Rachael Olaitan Aborishade's breakdown of the EU's AI Act (AIA) with an in-depth guide outlining: - key provisions - risk-based approaches, and - compliance requirements in a clear format This guide is good for those in and outside of the EU, like: - business owners - government officials - educators, or - tech enthusiasts https://lnkd.in/gz24W_Y3 P.S. More guides to come, such as HIPAA, CCPA, and others!

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has issued Guides to help organisations navigate and understand how the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the associated Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) apply to artificial intelligence (AI), and to outline the regulator’s expectations in relation to the development and deployment of AI.

Texas is trying to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) through a new legislative proposal. State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione filed House Bill 1709, known as the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act, which aims to set ethical and practical guidelines for AI use in the state. Capriglione said the bill ensures Texas embraces innovation while safeguarding public trust, privacy, and safety. He emphasized the importance of a proactive approach to manage AI's challenges and opportunities.

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

The new June 2024 AI Act ensures that Europeans can trust what AI has to offer. Poised to tackle issues such as privacy, bias, misuse, and more—this Act is a step in the right direction but there is still work to be done.

The EU's AI Act (AIA) is set to enter into force in the coming weeks. The AIA's implementation will be hugely important and consequential to the governance of AI in the EU and across the world. Organizations developing and deploying AI will need to understand and put its new obligations into practice. This IAPP - International Association of Privacy Professionals AI Act 101 Chart shows some of the AIA's most important features and requirements, based on the official draft that was released. #aigovernance #aiethics #dataethics #ai #GenAI
