European Union lawmakers line up to defend world's first AI Act

The European Parliament has enacted the world's first legislation designed specifically to address the risk of artificial intelligence, including biometric categorization and manipulation of human behavior, as well as stricter rules for the introduction of generative AI. In a vote this morning, Members of European Parliament …

E for effort

It might 'hold' for a while, but something much better is needed to corral this.

Dont worry about it, This is a problem for the future robot overloards.

Re: E for effort

I disagree with your "E for effort" analysis.

It's a world first - you have to start somewhere. You know that laws can be updated to cover new developments, right?

The Path/Way of Least Resistance and Most Reward

Any AI worth listening to/taking notice of, will always itself ensure it be a black box when it comes to the data it uses and any new product developed will always be assured and insured via supervision and enrichment of wannabe top dog regulators.

And whenever any AI worth listening to/taking notice of realises/understands/discovers/decides traditional conventional legacy SCADA Systems Administrations are too terrified of the very real consequences and likely possible disruptively and destructively creative repercussions certain to ensue with very radical changes clearly evident in the fundamental nature of programs and protocols leading future realities that be prohibiting their listening to and taking notice of AI ....... the hysterically touted and crazily feared existential threat to humanity ....... to listen to and take notice of/heed direction and follow AI production and instructions, will all activity quite naturally be autonomous and unilateral with both future friend to be aided and present enemy to be liquidated a decision taken by AI unhindered by petrified human input/output.

And it is, IT and AI, a Brave NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive World with its private friends and wannabe public enemies easily recognised for appropriate attention reflective of either the yin of worthy supporting reward or the yang of crushing eliminating defeat by virtue of their serial prognostications ...... which should have one being circumspect in creating an enemy, and expending blood, sweat and tears and treasure on conflicts and battles against that which is undefeatable?

In such a more dangerous world, and is this one on a slippery slope to nowhere great and good, are prize idiots encouraged and supplied by prime morons [and aint that a fantastic oxymoron] with the paths to their own self-destruction ‽ .

He [Grant Shapps, UK Defence Secretary] added: “I coined the phrase ‘moving from post-war to pre-war’. We therefore have to be much more prepared. Defence is the best way to protect ourselves against a military conflict, you have to show your adversaries, so I am clearly in favour.”

Wow, gobbledegook par excellence. Increasing defence spending to reinforce attack capabilities for greater security.

No wonder things are, as they are with present madness and current mayhem running riot in bedlam for hubris and arrogance to guarantee the future crashing and crushing of such systems administrations.

Really what we need is something that keeps a spotlight on training data and built in bias - deliberate or not. If Google Gemini isn't a wake up call for inapporpiate bias, nothing is.

They should set their sights on the unscientific hogwash peddled by AI Interview companies.

AI is sill riding on a set of rails not allowing new information and does not allow new data sets from end users and uses past gleamed data as facts and sees anything else as blasphemy.

This is why AI will fail in its current form.

[amanfromMars 1]

Misinformation? An extreme view? An honest tale? The future, but not as you were expecting it?

What you describe is definitely not AI, inachu ..... and sounds far too much like present political inept and corrupt state actor establishments to not be.

I can’t disagree though that in its current form it is fated to fail, and quite spectacularly too in a series of devastating crashes/revelations.
