The European Parliament passes the AI Act, which would curtail facial recognition, mandate data disclosures, and more; a final version should pass later in 2023
A draft law in the European Parliament has become the world's most far-reaching attempt to address the potentially harmful effects of artificial intelligence.

#AIAct adopted! 🎉 Last-minute efforts from @EPPGroup to undermine the RBI ban were not successful! ❌Sadly, the Parliament did not support prohibitions of harmful AI used in migration or a stronger role for civil society in the enforcement of new rules. On to the trilogue!

The likelihood that you and everyone you love will die, the likelihood that everything you value is erased, the likelihood that our future becomes an irrevocably silent void—is “quite small”. Nothing to worry about then https://www.bbc.com/... [image]

“[the risk of extinction] may exist, but I think the likelihood is quite small. the AI risks are more that people will be discriminated [against], they will not be seen as who they are” https://www.bbc.com/... Thank you for the level-headed reporting, @zsk! 🔥🔥🔥
