?? [AI Research] "Regulating under Uncertainty”

The report "Regulating under Uncertainty: Governance Options for Generative AI" by Florence G'SELL is a must-read for everyone in AI governance. Important information:

?? This is a 531-page document in which the author offers a broad overview of aspects relevant to AI regulation initiatives. Among the topics covered are:

? Generative AI: The technology and supply chain

? Challenges and risks of generative AI

? Industry initiatives

? Regulatory initiatives

? International initiatives and negotiations

?? The report reviews regulatory initiatives from:

? EU

? China

? US

? Brazil

? Canada

? India

? Israel

? Japan

? Saudi Arabia

? Singapore

? South Korea

? UAE

? UK

?? It also covers international initiatives and negotiations, such as:

? United Nations

? OECD

? The G7

? The G20

? BRICS

? African Union

? AI safety summits

? The Council of Europe’s treaty

? The Global Partnership on AI

? US-EU Trade and Technology Council

? UNESCO

?? According to the author:

"The title of this report – “Regulating Under Uncertainty: Governance Options for Generative AI” – seeks to convey the unprecedented position of governments as they confront the regulatory challenges AI poses. Regulation is both urgently needed and unpredictable. It also may be counterproductive, if not done well. However, governments cannot wait until they have perfect and complete information before they act, because doing so may be too late to ensure that the trajectory of technological development does not lead to existential or unacceptable risks. The goal of this report is to present all of the options that are “on the table” now with the hope that all stakeholders can begin to establish best practices through aggressive information sharing. The risks and benefits of AI will be felt across the entire world. It is critical that the different proposals emerging are assembled in one place so that policy proponents can learn from one another and move ahead in a cooperative fashion."

?? It's a comprehensive document that will be relevant for those interested in learning more about the current state of AI regulation efforts and about some of the main debates and issues to consider in the context of AI governance & compliance.

??? [AI Live Talks] Conversation with Max Schrems

If you are interested in the intersection of?privacy and AI, don't miss my live talk with Max Schrems (our second one!).?Register now . Here's why you should join us live:

? If you have been reading this newsletter for some time, you know that my view is that common AI practices - which became ubiquitous in the current Generative AI wave - are unlawful from a GDPR perspective. Yet, we have not seen a clear response from data protection authorities.

? Max - the Chairman of noyb and one of the world's leading privacy advocates - has been a tireless advocate for privacy rights. More recently, he and his team have also been pioneers in defending privacy rights in the context of AI-related new risks and challenges.

? In this live talk, we'll discuss noyb's recent legal actions in this area, including their complaints against Meta & X/Twitter, legitimate interest in the context of AI, and more.

? This is my second talk with Max. The first one, in which we discussed GDPR enforcement challenges, was watched by thousands of people?(live and on-demand). You can find it here .

?? If you are interested in privacy and AI, or if you work in AI policy, compliance & regulation, you can't miss it. To participate, register here .

?? [AI Regulation] Emerging Approaches Worldwide

UNESCO published its "Consultation Paper on AI Regulation - Emerging Approaches Across the World," and it's an excellent read for everyone in AI governance. Important information:

? Among other topics, the consultation paper describes 9 regulatory approaches (with examples from around the world) that are extremely interesting to anyone working or studying AI governance & regulation:

"1?? Principles-Based Approach: Offer stakeholders a set of fundamental propositions (principles) that provide guidance for developing and using AI systems through ethical, responsible, human-centric, and human-rights-abiding processes.

2?? Standards-Based Approach: Delegate (totally or partially) the state’s regulatory powers to organizations that produce technical standards that will guide the interpretation and implementation of mandatory rules.

3?? Agile and Experimentalist Approach: Generate flexible regulatory schemes, such as regulatory sandboxes and other testbeds, that allow organizations to test new business models, methods, infrastructure, and tools under more flexible regulatory conditions and with the oversight and accompaniment of public authorities.

4?? Facilitating and Enabling Approach: Facilitate and enable an environment that encourages all stakeholders involved in the AI lifecycle to develop and use responsible, ethical, and human rights-compliant AI systems.

5?? Adapting Existing Laws Approach: Amend sector-specific rules (e.g., health, finance, education, justice) and transversal rules (e.g., criminal codes, public procurement, data protection laws, labor laws) to make incremental improvements to the existing regulatory framework.

6?? Access to Information and Transparency Mandates Approach: Require the deployment of transparency instruments that enable the public to access basic information about AI systems.

7?? Risk-Based Approach: Establish obligations and requirements in accordance with an assessment of the risks associated with the deployment and use of certain AI tools in specific contexts.

8?? Rights-Based Approach: Establish obligations or requirements to protect individuals' rights and freedoms.

9?? Liability Approach: Assign responsibility and sanctions to problematic uses of AI systems."

? It's important to notice that the regulatory approaches described above are not mutually exclusive, and AI laws around the world will often combine two or more approaches.

? The paper will be available for open public consultation in English until September 19, 2024.

?? [AI Lawsuit] Best-Selling?Authors vs. Anthropic

Best-selling authors Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber & Kirk Johnson filed a lawsuit against Anthropic over copyright infringement. The AI copyright lawsuits continue piling up. Important quotes below:

"Anthropic’s commercial gain has come at the expense of creators and rightsholders, including Plaintiffs and members of the Class. Book readers typically purchase books. Anthropic did not even take that basic and insufficient step. Anthropic never sought—let alone paid for—a license to copy and exploit the protected expression contained in the copyrighted works fed into its models. Instead, Anthropic did what any teenager could tell you is illegal. It intentionally downloaded known pirated copies of books from the internet, made unlicensed copies of them, and then used those unlicensed copies to digest and analyze the copyrighted expression-all for its own commercial gain. The end result is a model built on the work of thousands of authors, meant to mimic the syntax, style, and themes of the copyrighted works on which it was trained."

"Anthropic styles itself as a public benefit company, designed to improve humanity. In the words of its co-founder Dario Amodei, Anthropic is “a company that’s focused on public benefit.” For holders of copyrighted works, however, Anthropic already has wrought mass destruction. It is not consistent with core human values or the public benefit to download hundreds of thousands of books from a known illegal source. Anthropic has attempted to steal the fire of Prometheus. It is no exaggeration to say that Anthropic’s model seeks to profit from strip-mining the human expression and ingenuity behind each one of those works."

"Anthropic has also usurped a licensing market for copyright owners. In the last two years, a thriving licensing market for copyrighted training data has developed. A number of AI companies, including OpenAI, Google, and Meta, have paid hundreds of millions of dollars to obtain licenses to reproduce copyrighted material for LLM training. These include deals with Axel Springer, News Corporation, the Associated Press, and others. Furthermore, absent Anthropic’s largescale copyright infringement, blanket licensing practices would be possible through clearinghouses, like the Copyright Clearance Center, which recently launched a collective licensing mechanism that is available on the market today. Anthropic, however, has chosen to use Plaintiffs works and the works owned by the Class free of charge, and in doing so has harmed the market for the copyrighted works by depriving them of book sales and licensing revenue."
