The regulation of AI has crossed swords with the copyright maximalists. Here are some notes and links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The landing page says, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe AI Act<\/a> is a European regulation on artificial intelligence (AI) \u2013 the first comprehensive regulation on AI by a major regulator anywhere. The Act assigns applications of AI to three risk categories. First, applications and systems that create an unacceptable risk<\/strong>, such as government-run social scoring of the type used in China, are banned. Second, high-risk applications<\/strong>, such as a CV-scanning tool that ranks job applicants, are subject to specific legal requirements. Lastly, applications not explicitly banned or listed as high-risk are largely left unregulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AI Act may need another page, my digital regulation in the EU page<\/a> does not cover it, although it probably should. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Chat GPT and Fair Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Let’s remember that it’s potentially biased and what its author’s interests are, it says<\/a>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe EU does not have a broad, open-ended fair use<\/strong> right, but it does allow limited exceptions to copyright law that function similarly in specific circumstances. However, these exceptions are narrower and less flexible<\/strong> than U.S. fair use.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
