I thought this article would be about software in heavy machinery like self driving cars but it's more aimed at applications of AI that are incompatible with human rights: social scores, surveillance, crime-prediction, etc.
- dalbasal 6y agoThis is the problem: they don't really understand what they're trying to regulate. A lot of it is (a) data-privacy issues or (b) using data to make automated decisions. The "AI" part is superfluous, as far as I can see. Lawmakers appear as caught up in labeling stuff "AI" as investors. It's going to make them less effective by letting them avoid actually defining what they're trying to prevent. Consider: "those (AIs) designed or used in a manner that manipulates human behaviour, opinions or decisions ...causing a person to behave, form an opinion or take a decision to their detriment" It's clearly about advertising and social media. If you want regulation to be effective, specifics are good. Platitudes don't make good regulations.
