Gabriele Mazzini, Team Leader - AI Act at the European Commission, discusses the risk-based approach they took when crafting specific rules for the Artificial Intelligence Act (versus simply opposing the technology as a whole). He also discusses the complexities involved in regulating emerging technologies that evolve at a much faster pace than the legislation itself.  Key Takeaways: Recommendations put forward for regulating emerging technologies within the AI Act What the process has been like for the development of the AI Act, including the key players  Where regulation in this space can be most helpful despite the complexities involved Guest Bio: Gabriele Mazzini is the architect and lead author of the proposal on the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) by the European Commission, where he has focused on the legal and policy questions raised by new technologies since August 2017. Before joining the European Commission, Gabriele held several positions in the private sector in New York and served in the European Parliament and the EU Court of Justice. He holds a LLM from Harvard Law School, a PhD in Italian and Comparative Criminal Law from the University of Pavia, and a Law Degree from the Catholic University in Milan. He is qualified to practice law in Italy and New York. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this Show: The Brave Technologist is here to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of emerging tech.

Returning from winter break, this episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast covers a lot of ground. The story I think we'll hear the most about in 2024 is the remarkable exploit used to compromise several generations of Apple iPhone. The question I think we'll be asking for the next year is simple: How could an attack like this be introduced without Apple's knowledge and support? We don't get to this question until near the end of the episode, and I don't claim great expertise in exploit design, but it's very hard to see how such an elaborate compromise could be slipped past Apple's security team. The second question is which government created the exploit. It might be a scandal if it were done by the U.S. But it would be far more of a scandal if done by any other nation.  Jeffery Atik and I lead off the episode by covering recent AI legal developments that simply underscore the obvious: AI engines can't get patents as “inventors.” But it's quite possible that they'll make a whole lot of technology “obvious” and thus unpatentable. Paul Stephan joins us to note that National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has come up with some good questions about standards for AI safety. Jeffery notes that U.S. lawmakers have finally woken up to the EU's misuse of tech regulation to protect the continent's failing tech sector. Even the continent's tech sector seems unhappy with the EU's AI Act, which was rushed to market in order to beat the competition and is therefore flawed and likely to yield unintended and disastrous consequences.  A problem that inspires this week's Cybertoonz. Paul covers a lawsuit blaming AI for the wrongful denial of medical insurance claims. As he points out, insurers have been able to wrongfully deny claims for decades without needing AI. Justin Sherman and I dig deep into a NYTimes article claiming to have found a privacy problem in AI. We conclude that AI may have a privacy problem, but extracting a few email addresses from ChatGPT doesn't prove the case.  Finally, Jeffery notes an SEC “sweep” examining the industry's AI use. Paul explains the competition law issues raised by app stores – and the peculiar outcome of litigation against Apple and Google. Apple skated in a case tried before a judge, but Google lost before a jury and entered into an expensive settlement with other app makers. Yet it's hard to say that Google's handling of its app store monopoly is more egregiously anticompetitive than Apple's. We do our own research in real time in addressing an FTC complaint against Rite Aid for using facial recognition to identify repeat shoplifters.  The FTC has clearly learned Paul's dictum, “The best time to kick someone is when they're down.” And its complaint shows a lack of care consistent with that posture.  I criticize the FTC for claiming without citation that Rite Aid ignored racial bias in its facial recognition software.  Justin and I dig into the bias data; in my view, if FTC documents could be reviewed for unfair and deceptive marketing, this one would lead to sanctions. The FTC fares a little better in our review of its effort to toughen the internet rules on child privacy, though Paul isn't on board with the whole package. We move from government regulation of Silicon Valley to Silicon Valley regulation of government. Apple has decided that it will now require a judicial order to give government's access to customers' “push notifications.” And, giving the back of its hand to crime victims, Google decides to make geofence warrants impossible by blinding itself to the necessary location data. Finally, Apple decides to regulate India's hacking of opposition politicians and runs into a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) buzzsaw.  Paul and Jeffery decode the EU's decision to open a DSA content moderation investigation into X.  We also dig into the welcome failure of an X effort to block California's content moderation law. Justin takes us through the latest developments in Cold War 2.0. China is hacking our ports and utilities with intent to disrupt (as opposed to spy on) them. The U.S. is discovering that derisking our semiconductor supply chain is going to take hard, grinding work. Justin looks at a recent report presenting actual evidence on the question of TikTok's standards for boosting content of interest to the Chinese government.  And in quick takes,  I celebrate the end of the Reign of Mickey Mouse in copyright law Paul explains why Madison Square Garden is still able to ban lawyers who have sued the Garden I note the new short-term FISA 702 extension Paul predicts that the Supreme Court will soon decide whether police can require suspects  to provide police with phone passcodes And Paul and I quickly debate Daphne Keller's amicus brief for Frances Fukuyama in the Supreme Court's content moderation cases Download 486th Episode (mp3) You can subscribe to The Cyberlaw Podcast using iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Pocket Casts, or our RSS feed.

In this episode, we discuss three important updates in the tech industry. Firstly, the tech sector is showing stability, which is good news for the overall industry. Despite a slight dip in tech employment, there is high demand for AI talent. Secondly, we delve into the global shift towards regulating artificial intelligence, with the EU's AI Act and the US's AI policies being notable examples. We also explore how tech is transforming the labor market and creating opportunities for IT services. Lastly, we present the November jobs report, which reveals a robust job market in the US, with strong employment and wage growth. Despite cooler job growth, the economy remains strong, supporting consumer spending during the holidays. The unemployment rate is at its lowest in over 50 years, and workers are seeing real wage gains. These positive indicators may influence the Federal Reserve's decision on future rate hikes.Three things to know today:00:00 Tech Sector Shows Stability: AI Talent in High Demand Despite Overall Tech Employment Dip04:16 From EU's AI Act to US AI Policies: A Global Shift Towards Regulating Artificial Intelligence09:43 Tech's Transformation of the Labor Market: Opportunities for IT ServicesSupported by: https://skykick.com/mspradio/Want to take my class? https://www.itspu.com/all-classes/classes/navigating-emerging-technologies-for-msps/Looking for a link from the stories?

Language Models Offer Mundane Utility A class on the economics of ChatGPT, complete with podcast recording. More like this, please, no matter my quibbles. I especially don't think survey courses, in economics or elsewhere, are the way to go. Focus on what matters and do something meaningful rather than try to maximize gesturing. If you let me teach students with other majors one economics class, teach them the basics of micro and then use that to explore what matters sounds like a great plan. So is getting students good at using LLMs. Use algorithmic instructions to let LLMs accurately do tasks like 19-digit addition. Summarize writing. It seems GPT-4 summaries are potentially more accurate than humans ones. We encountered two practical problems: Not following instructions. Bigger models were better at following instructions. We had to use another LLM to understand the outputs of the smaller LLMs and work out if it said A or B was the answer. Ordering bias. Given A and B, are you more likely to suggest A simply because it is first? One way to test this is to swap the ordering and see how many times you say A both times or B both times. Once we dealt with these problem we saw: Human: 84% (from past research) gpt-3.5-turbo: 67.0% correct (seemed to h...

Language Models Offer Mundane Utility A class on the economics of ChatGPT, complete with podcast recording. More like this, please, no matter my quibbles. I especially don't think survey courses, in economics or elsewhere, are the way to go. Focus on what matters and do something meaningful rather than try to maximize gesturing. If you let me teach students with other majors one economics class, teach them the basics of micro and then use that to explore what matters sounds like a great plan. So is getting students good at using LLMs. Use algorithmic instructions to let LLMs accurately do tasks like 19-digit addition. Summarize writing. It seems GPT-4 summaries are potentially more accurate than humans ones. We encountered two practical problems: Not following instructions. Bigger models were better at following instructions. We had to use another LLM to understand the outputs of the smaller LLMs and work out if it said A or B was the answer. Ordering bias. Given A and B, are you more likely to suggest A simply because it is first? One way to test this is to swap the ordering and see how many times you say A both times or B both times. Once we dealt with these problem we saw: Human: 84% (from past research) gpt-3.5-turbo: 67.0% correct (seemed to h...

Thanks for tuning in to Intellicast! In this episode, Brian Lamar and Producer Brian discuss conferences and some news stories from the past few weeks (yes, we know it's been a while since our last episode!) So, without further ado, let's jump right in. The episode kicks off with some feedback we received on our last episode! In it, we had a conversation on the conference in Hilton Head, which was a unique location, but it was expensive, hard to get to, etc. Our listener recommended that maybe we need to go to some second-tier cities (Ex: Charlotte, New Orleans, Nashville, Philadelphia, Cincinnati) for our conferences. The reasoning being that these cities are cheaper, and the airports have less travel hassle/cancellations and are easier to navigate. What do you think? The guys also give an update on the upcoming conferences in the next few months and even some in 2024! In our first news story, the guys discuss Momentive's announcement that they will be returning to its original name, SurveyMonkey. As expected, Brian Lamar is practically giddy over this news. In the next news story, Brian and Brian chat about Cint and Publisher's Clearing House's partnership to increase access to respondents with their new platform, PCH Consumer Insights. This leads Brian Lamar to a bit of a soapbox rant about how things like this change panels. The next news story follows a similar thread with Kantar selling its specialist healthcare business to M3 Global Research. After this, the discussion turns to artificial intelligence. The European Union has approved a draft version of the EU's AI Act which sets out plans to regulate the use of AI technology. The plans will enact bans on many uses of AI and require AI systems to comply with transparency requirements. In the last story, the guys discuss QuetionPro's acquisition of PathosAI, an AI platform that identifies states and non-stated emotions, which leads to another fired-up rant from Brian Lamar about name changes.

Over the past few months, there have been a range of voices calling for the urgent regulation of artificial intelligence. Comparisons to the problems of nuclear proliferation abound, so perhaps it's no surprise that some want a new international body similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). But when it comes to AI and global governance, there's already a lot in play- from ethics councils to various schemes for industry governance, activity on standards, various international agreements, and legislation that will have international impact, such as the EU's AI Act. To help get his head around the complicated, evolving ecology of global AI governance, Justin Hendrix spoke to two of the three authors of a recent paper in the Annual Review of Law and Social Science that attempts to take stock of and explore the tensions between different approaches, including Michael Veale, an associate professor in the Faculty of Laws at University College London, where he works on the intersection of computer science, law, and policy; and Robert Gorwa, a postdoctoral researcher at the Berlin Social Science Center, a large publicly-funded research institute in Germany.

The surge in artificial intelligence tools have led to increased calls for regulation. And one place where those rules are beginning to take shape is Europe. WSJ Brussels-based reporter Kim Mackrael sat down with Tech News Briefing's Zoe Thomas to talk about the draft legislation pushed forward by the EU parliament. Julie Chang hosts.

The European Commission and Parliament were busily debating the Artificial Intelligence Act when GPT-4 launched on 14 March. As people realised that GPT technology was a game-changer, they called for the Act to be reconsidered.Famously, the EU contains no tech giants, so cutting edge AI is mostly developed in the US and China. But the EU is more than happy to act as the world's most pro-active regulator of digital technologies, including AI. The 2016 General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR) seeks to regulate data protection and privacy, and its impacts remain controversial today.The AI Act was proposed in 2021. It does not confer rights on individuals, but instead regulates the providers of artificial intelligence systems. It is a risk-based approach.John Higgins joins us in this episode to discuss the AI Act. John is the Chair of the Global Digital Foundation, a think tank, and last year he was president of BCS (British Computer Society), the professional body for the IT industry. He has had a long and distinguished career helping to shape digital policy in the UK and the EU.Follow-up reading:https://www.globaldigitalfoundation.org/https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/Topics addressed in this episode include:*) How different is generative AI from the productivity tools that have come before?*) Two approaches to regulation compared: a "Franco-German" approach and an "Anglo-American" approach*) The precautionary principle, for when a regulatory framework needs to be established in order to provide market confidence*) The EU's preference for regulating applications rather than regulating technology*) The types of application that matter most - when there is an impact on human rights and/or safety*) Regulations in the Act compared to the principles that good developers will in any case be following*) Problems with lack of information about the data sets used to train LLMs (Large Language Models)*) Enabling the flow, between the different "providers" within the AI value chain, of information about compliance*) Two potential alternatives to how the EU aims to regulate AI*) How an Act passes through EU legislation*) Conflicting assessments of the GDPR: a sledgehammer to crack a nut?*) Is it conceivable that LLMs will be banned in Europe?*) Why are there no tech giants in Europe? Does it matter?*) Other metrics for measuring the success of AI within Europe*) Strengths and weaknesses of the EU single market*) Reasons why the BCS opposed the moratorium proposed by the FLI: impracticality, asymmetry, benefits held back*) Some counterarguments in favour of the FLI position*) Projects undertaken by the Global Digital Foundation*) The role of AI in addressing (as well as exacerbating) hate speech*) Growing concerns over populism, polarisation, and post-truth*) The need for improved transparency and improved understandingMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

As generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, continue to gain popularity, concerns about privacy and data protection have also arisen. Our panel features three distinguished experts in the field of privacy and generative AI who will explore the legal, technical, and ethical challenges related to the use of AI systems.Throughout the discussion, our panelists will share their experiences and insights into the complex landscape of privacy, data protection, and generative AI. We will explore the legal and regulatory requirements that must be considered, as well as the technical and ethical considerations of implementing AI systems.Our panelists will also discuss the efforts being made by regulators around the world to address the challenges related to the use of AI systems. We will discuss the EU's AI Act, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology's AI Risk Management Framework, and the California Privacy Protection Agency's upcoming rulemaking on automated decision-making under state law.

Consensus Gentium is took him the Grand Jury prize for SXSW Immersive 2023, and it's the most immersive phone-based experience that I've ever had. The Latin title translated means that “If everyone believes it, it must be true,” and it's a near-term speculative sci-fi piece that explores what China's social scoring system might look like in the context of the United States where mobility is restricted by algorithms but can be expanding if citizens agree to be surveilled by a phone app. The experience shifts automatically shifts between mobile app videos onboarding you into a surveillance state juxtaposed with Facetime calls where your face appears in the lower right corner, and text messages are seamlessly popping throughout the experience as you jump in between different tasks and cut scenes that build up the world and immerse you deeper into what director Karen Palmer describes as a “reality simulator” that feels entirely plausible near future. The piece is also tagged with the logline of “the film that watches you back” as it integrates facial tracking technologies and an eye gaze mechanic that allows you make a few conscious and unconscious choices throughout the piece. Some of the themes of the piece are around algorithmic bias in facial detection algorithms and how that impacts marginalized communities (and why the EU's AI Act bans facial detection in certain contexts like police enforcement). It also explores agency, self-determination, and biometric threats to freedom of thought as you are scored on a spectrum between how compliant you are to the state versus any deviant or resistant behaviors. Overall, using the multi-channel communication affordances of the phone is able to create an entirely plausible portal into this near-future world that Palmer is creating for us which I found deeply, deeply immersive. It's no wonder that this piece took home the top prize as the SXSW jurors seemed to agree with that sentiment, while this piece also presciently covers many relevant topics around AI, bias, and threats to our cognitive liberty — notably I spoke to Palmer on the same day that Nita Farahany's book officially released titled The Battle for Your Brain, which I had a chance to unpack with Farahany ahead of SXSW.

This episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast is dominated by stories about possible cybersecurity regulation. David Kris points us first to an article by the leadership of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Administration in Foreign Affairs. Jen Easterly and Eric Goldstein seem to take a tough line on “Why Companies Must Build Safety Into Tech Products.“ But for all the tough language, one word, “regulation,” is entirely missing from the piece. Meanwhile, the cybersecurity strategy that the White House has been reportedly drafting for months seems to be hung up over how enthusiastically to demand regulation. All of which seems just a little weird in a world where Republicans hold the House. Regulation is not likely to be high on the GOP to-do list, so calls for tougher regulation are almost certainly more symbolic than real. Still, this is a week for symbolic calls for regulation. David also takes us through an National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) report on the anticompetitive impact of Apple's and Google's control of their mobile app markets. The report points to many problems and opportunities for abuse inherent in their headlock on what apps can be sold to phone users. But, as Google and Apple are quick to point out, they do play a role in regulating app security, so breaking the headlock could be bad for cybersecurity. In any event, practically every recommendation for action in the report is a call for Congress to step in—almost certainly a nonstarter for reasons already given. Not to be outdone on the phony regulation beat, Jordan Schneider and Sultan Meghji explore some of the policy and regulatory proposals for AI that have been inspired by the success of ChatGPT. The EU's AI Act is coming in for lots of attention, mainly from parts of the industry that want to be regulation-free. Sultan and I trade observations about who'll be hollowed out first by ChatGPT, law firms or investment firms. Sultan also tells us why the ION ransomware hack matters. Jordan and Sultan find a cybersecurity angle to The Great Chinese Balloon Scandal of 2023. And I offer an assessment of Matt Taibbi's story about the Hamilton 68 “Russian influence” reports. If you have wondered what the fuss was about, do not expect mainstream media to tell you; the media does not come out looking good in this story. Unfortunately for Matt Taibbi, he does not look much better than the reporters his story criticizes. David thinks it is a balanced and moderate take, for which I offer an apology and a promise to do better next time.
