BORACAY, Philippines: Data protection, anti-scamming and cybersecurity are among the issues given priority as senior officials from Asean countries convene in Boracay Island, laying the groundwork for reshaping the region’s post-Covid-19 digital landscape.
Undersecretary of International Division, Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) Mano Verabathran said enhancing cybersecurity cooperation and anti-scamming measures were essential requirements to secure Asean’s economy and digitalisation initiatives, especially in view of more sophisticated attacks and threats.

With nearly 600 million people across Africa using the internet today, African countries are increasingly recognising the need to legislate and invest in, data and privacy protection.
Internet Society, a non-profit advocacy organisation, estimates that more than 17 African countries have enacted comprehensive personal data protection legislation.
Additionally, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, 33 countries had some form of legislation that guaranteed data and privacy protection as of 2021.

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.

https://9to5mac.com/2023/02/08/state-of-the-union/
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 AI Act is reaching a critical stage in the legislative process, with the European Parliament set to reach a common position in the coming weeks. 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.

This technical backbone, developed by Member States in close collaboration with the Commission, will be the basis to engineer a prototype Wallet that can be used for testing in a variety of use-cases.
The Toolbox will complement the legislative proposal on a trusted and secure Digital Identity and is a crucial first step that will enable the creation of a robust framework for digital identification and authentication based on common standards across the EU. It aims to ensure a high level of trust in digital transactions in Europe. Member States will keep working closely with the Commission to continuously update the Toolbox.

https://www.politico.eu/article/facebook-instagram-norway-ban-track-users-ads/
Social media giants Facebook and Instagram will soon be temporarily banned in Norway from tracking users online to target them with advertising.
The Norwegian Data Protection Authority ordered U.S. technology firm Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to stop showing users in Norway personalized ads based on their online activity and estimated locations. The ban kicks in from August, according to an order obtained exclusively by POLITICO and sent to Meta on July 14.
Meta’s advertising practice on Facebook and Instagram currently involves the “processing of very private and sensitive personal data through highly opaque and intrusive monitoring and profiling operations,” wrote Norway’s Datatilsynet agency.
The ban on so-called behavioral advertising will last three months, starting from August 4. Facebook and Instagram will be able to show people customized ads but only based on information given by users in the “about” section of their profiles.

António Guterres said that if AI became primarily a weapon to launch cyberattacks, generate deepfakes, or for spreading disinformation and hate speech, it would have very serious consequences for global peace and security.
“Look no further than social media. Tools and platforms that were designed to enhance human connection are now used to undermine elections, spread conspiracy theories, and incite hatred and violence,” he said.
“Malfunctioning AI systems are another huge area of concern. And the interaction between AI and nuclear weapons, biotechnology, neurotechnology, and robotics, is deeply alarming.”

The draft regulation introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for the design, development, production and making available on the market of hardware and software products to avoid overlapping requirements stemming from different pieces of legislation in EU member states.
The proposed regulation will apply to all products that are connected either directly or indirectly to another device or network. There are some exceptions for products, for which cybersecurity requirements are already set out in existing EU rules, for example on medical devices, aviation, or cars.
The proposal aims to fill the gaps, clarify the links, and make the existing cybersecurity legislation more coherent by ensuring that products with digital components, for example ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) products, become secure throughout the whole supply chain and throughout their whole lifecycle.
Finally, the proposed regulation also allows consumers to take cybersecurity into account when selecting and using products that contain digital elements by providing users the opportunity to make informed choices of hardware and software products with the proper cybersecurity features.
