Policy experts warn that restricting AI training on copyrighted materials in the UK could lead to biased models and minimal compensation for creators. They argue that current copyright proposals overlook the broader economic impacts and may hinder innovation across multiple sectors.
The emergence of the Chinese AI app DeepSeek is prompting EU policymakers to consider amendments to the EU AI Act, particularly regarding the threshold measures of computing power for general-purpose AI models. This could significantly impact how various GPAI models are regulated, especially those classified as having ‘systemic risk’.
The article discusses the varying approaches to regulating AI development across different countries, highlighting the differences between the United States, European Union, and the United Kingdom. It emphasizes the need for international cooperation to establish baseline standards that address key AI-related risks while fostering innovation.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into business and social life, offering significant potential while also raising substantial risks such as algorithmic bias and privacy concerns. As regulatory bodies like the European Union work to establish frameworks for AI liability, organizations must navigate the complexities of legal responsibilities associated with AI systems.
An inquiry by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) serves as a reminder for companies using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to comply with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). The investigation focuses on the processing of personal data from EU users by X (formerly Twitter) for training AI models, emphasizing the need for lawful and transparent data processing practices.
April 2025 marks the implementation phase of the EU AI Act, the world’s first comprehensive regulation of artificial intelligence, which classifies AI systems into four risk tiers. While some view it as a triumph of European values, others see it as a potential hindrance to innovation in the tech industry.
