EU lawmakers are due to deliberate on how artificial intelligence (AI) systems should be classified in terms of the actual or potential risks they pose under the auspices of the new AI Act.
The AI Act is a flagship EU proposal to regulate AI technology based on its potential risks. At the proposal’s core is the high-risk category, which implies stricter requirements in terms of robustness and risk management on the side of the AI developer.
The MEPs involved in the file will discuss this critical aspect of the proposal at a political meeting on Wednesday (1 February). According to an agenda obtained by EURACTIV, the provision defining the AI risk classification process will be at the centre of the debate.

Digital Euro: acting for a privacy-friendly model

The digital euro: what is at stake for the freedoms of citizens
The European Central Bank (ECB) has launched in the summer of 2021 an investigation phase to develop a digital form of the euro. For this institution, one of the objectives is to maintain a link between citizens and fiat money in a context of declining cash payments, particularly accelerated in some countries. However, the ECB sees the digital euro as a complement to cash, not as a substitute.
The year 2023 will be key for the digital euro project. The objective is to have a legislative proposal from the European Commission by this summer, following the ECB’s investigation phase. This leaves six months to design a digital euro that respects privacy from the outset.
The risks for privacy
In the ECB's preparatory public consultation, respondents considered transaction confidentiality to be the most important parameter in the design of the digital euro (43%).

Top European Union (EU) official Thierry Breton told Twitter CEO Elon Musk that the latter’s platform will have to “do more” over the coming months in preparation for the microblogging site’s compliance with the bloc’s incoming social media regulations.
Breton, the EU commissioner for the internal market and social media, went on a video call two months ago in which Musk expressed intentions to fully comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA).
DSA and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) aim to create a “safer digital space” where the fundamental rights of users are protected and to establish a level playing field for businesses. Together they form a single set of new rules that will be applicable across the whole bloc.

https://www.politico.eu/article/european-parliament-approves-its-position-on-political-advertising-law/?
The European Parliament on Thursday voted to restrict how political ads can target voters in the EU, in an attempt to forestall manipulation ahead of the 2024 European elections.
European lawmakers approved the institution’s position on a draft EU rulebook to set transparency and privacy rules for political advertising on platforms like Facebook and Google. The vote was 433-61 with 110 abstentions.
While the law presented by the European Commission in November 2021 still has to be negotiated with EU countries, politicians could be limited to delivering paid political messages to users on online platforms based on only three pieces of information, including the language they speak, whether they're first-time voters, and their general location, within 60 days of an election or referendum.

In April 2022, the European Union, the United States and several international partners proposed a Declaration for the Future of the Internet, supporting a trusted, open, free, global, interoperable, realiable and secure internet for the protection and respect of human rights across the digital world.
The partners in the Declaration share the belief that the Internet should operate as a single, decentralised "network of networks", discarding unfair discrimination and promoting connectivity, democracy, peace, the rule of law and sustainable development.
Building upon the principles expressed in the Declaration for the Future of the Internet, on 27 January 2023, the US Department of State and the EU Directorate-General DG CONNECT have signed an "Administrative Arrangement on Artificial Intelligence for the Public Good" in a virtual ceremony, which will be implemented by relevant US and EU institutions and agencies working in this area.
Increased collaboration on research will help identify and further develop promising AI research results that have the potential for broad societal benefits in areas ranging from climate change, natural disasters, health and medicine, electric grid optimisation to agriculture.

The European Parliament’s co-rapporteurs proposed compromise amendments to the list of high-risk AI applications, banned uses and concept definitions.
EU lawmakers Brando Benifei and Dragoș Tudorache are striving to close the negotiations on the Artificial Intelligence Act in the coming days. The Act is the world’s first attempt to regulate AI based on its potential to cause harm.
Among the pending issues the two lawmakers are trying to close is the list of AI uses that pose significant risks, the prohibited practices and the definitions of the key concepts used in the draft law, according to documents obtained by EURACTIV.
High-risk areas
The AI Act’s Annex III lists critical areas with specific use cases.

President Biden’s second State of the Union address called on Congress to pass bipartisan legislation on both antitrust and data privacy issues.
His comments on the antitrust issue specifically referenced the need to prevent tech companies favoring their own products, an accusation frequently levelled at Apple …
Background
Apple has come under antitrust pressure all around the world, most notably in respect of App Store policies – including in its home market of the US.
Back in 2019, Congress began a year-long antitrust investigation into tech giants, which included Apple. The Cupertino company was found to engage in “deeply disturbing” anticompetitive behavior.”

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm. Within two months of its release it reached 100 million active users, making it the fastest-growing consumer application ever launched. Users are attracted to the tool’s advanced capabilities—and concerned by its potential to cause disruption in various sectors.
A much less discussed implication is the privacy risks ChatGPT poses to each and every one of us. Just yesterday, Google unveiled its own conversational AI called Bard, and others will surely follow. Technology companies working on AI have well and truly entered an arms race.
The problem is, it’s fueled by our personal data.

As EU policymakers make progress in defining an upcoming rulebook for Artificial Intelligence, the question of to what extent AI models employed to manage critical infrastructure should be covered by tight requirements still remains open.

The legislative proposal is the world’s first attempt to put in place a comprehensive set of rules for Artificial Intelligence based on its potential risks.
A critical aspect of the draft law is the category of AI models that can cause significant harm, which must comply with stricter obligations regarding quality and risk management. However, concerning critical infrastructure, how to assess risk remains a matter of debate.
