The Spanish presidency circulated three discussion papers on Friday (13 October) to gather EU countries’ feedback on key aspects of the AI law ahead of an upcoming negotiation session: fundamental rights, sustainability obligations and workplace decision-making.
The AI Act is a landmark legislative proposal to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its potential to cause harm. Since they took over the presidency of the EU Council of Ministers, the Spaniards have prioritised closing the negotiations on the file with the European Parliament and Commission.
The Telecom Working Party, a technical body of the Council, will discuss possible flexibility to accord to the lead negotiators on Tuesday and Thursday. On Friday, the file will land on the table of the Committee of Permanent Representatives, with the view of providing a revised negotiating mandate for the next political trilogue with the other EU institutions on 25 October.

The European Commission adopted on Wednesday (18 October) a recommendation calling on member states to speed up the establishment of authorities to deal with illegal online content and bolster their incident response coordination.
Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton announced the initiative at the European Parliament during the plenary session in Strasbourg, making the case for the need to ramp up the fight against the dissemination of illegal content in times of conflict.

https://www.euractiv.com/section/artificial-intelligence/news/ai-act-eu-countries-headed-to-tiered-approach-on-foundation-models-amid-broader-compromise/
The EU approach to powerful AI models is taking shape as European countries discuss possible concessions in the upcoming negotiations on the world’s first comprehensive Artificial Intelligence (AI) rulebook.
The Spanish presidency of the EU Council of Ministers shared on Tuesday (17 October) a document in preparation for the next political negotiation with the European Parliament and Commission on 24 October, the so-called trilogues.
The document, seen by Euractiv, details a series of possible landing zones on the AI Act, a flagship legislative proposal to regulate AI based on its capacity to cause harm. The compromises concern critical areas of the text, including how to deal with foundation models, large machine-learning models trained on vast data sets that generate responses based on a specific stimulus.

Will the AI Act clip the wings of regulators?

https://www.euractiv.com/section/artificial-intelligence/opinion/will-the-ai-act-clip-the-wings-of-regulators/
The negotiators of the EU’s artificial intelligence regulation should strengthen and empower the regulators. Otherwise, the enforcement of this regulation will be a struggle, writes Kris Shrishak.
Kris Shrishak is a Senior Fellow at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, where he works on technology policy with a focus on algorithmic decision-making, surveillance, data rights, and privacy.
Imagine you have been handed the responsibility to be a key regulator for the first cross-sectoral AI regulation in the world. Now imagine that you are given scarce resources and your hands are tied.
This unenviable scenario could be the reality of future regulators of the EU’s AI Act.
The EU prides itself on having the “Brussels effect”. At the same time, it is working to produce a law that large tech companies would happily welcome and lobby to dilute further.

EU policymakers have been discussing some filter conditions that would enable AI developers to avoid complying with the EU Artificial Intelligence’s law stricter regime. But this political compromise is running into significant legal troubles.
The AI Act is an EU landmark legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its capacity to cause harm. As such, the law follows a risk-based approach whereby AI models posing a significant risk to people’s health, safety and fundamental rights must comply with a stricter regime on aspects such as data governance and risk management.

The transparency report, together with a Commission database on statements of reasons, as well as additional requirements for designated services, such as the future data access for researchers, will ensure transparency and accountability over content moderation online – for the benefit of citizens, researchers and regulators. This will contribute significantly to public scrutiny and accountability.

Key negotiators in the European Parliament have announced making a breakthrough in talks to set MEPs’ position on a controversial legislative proposal aimed at regulating how platforms should respond to child sexual abuse risks.
The European Union’s executive body, the Commission, presented a proposal for a regulation in this area last year but the plan has generated major controversy — with warnings the planned legislation could see platforms served detection orders that mandate the scanning of all users’ private messages. The draft proposal includes a requirement for platforms served with detection orders to scan for known and unknown child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and also try to pick up grooming activity taking place in real time.

AI Act: Leading MEPs propose initial criteria for classifying foundation models as ‘high-impact’

https://www.euractiv.com/section/artificial-intelligence/news/ai-act-leading-meps-propose-initial-criteria-for-classifying-foundation-models-as-high-impact/
The EU lawmakers spearheading the work on the AI rulebook suggested a first set of criteria to identify the most powerful foundation models that must follow a specific regime.
The AI Act is a landmark EU legislation to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its potential to harm people. The file is currently at the last stage of the legislative process, so-called trilogues, whereby the EU Commission, Parliament, and Council hash out the final provisions.
One of the sticking points in this late stage of the negotiations has been dealing with foundation models like GPT-4, on which several AI applications can be built, like the world’s most famous chatbot, ChatGPT.
On Tuesday (7 November), Euractiv exclusively revealed that the Spanish EU Council presidency, which leads the negotiations on behalf of the Council, circulated a first draft of obligations for foundation models, including the most powerful ones, dubbed ‘high-impact’.
On Wednesday, the offices of the European Parliament’s co-rapporteurs Dragoș Tudorache and Brando Benifei shared a reaction to the presidency’s draft with MEPs. The co-rapporteurs’ text will be discussed at a political meeting on Thursday.

The European Commission circulated on Sunday (19 November) a possible compromise on the AI law to break the deadlock on foundation models, applying the tiered approach to General Purpose AI and introducing codes of practice for models with systemic risks.
The AI Act is a landmark bill to regulate Artificial Intelligence based on its potential risks. The legislative proposal is currently at the last phase of the legislative process, so-called trilogues, between the EU Commission, Council and Parliament.
In the past weeks, the EU policymakers involved have been butting heads on regulating powerful foundation models like GPT-4, which powers the world’s most famous chatbot, ChatGPT, a versatile type of system known as General Purpose AI.
