The first draft of the SAFE AI Task Force Guidance on AI Interpreting is now available for comment until 29 May 2024. The Task Force’s mission is to establish, disseminate and promote industry-wide guidelines and best practices for the responsible adoption of #AI in #interpreting. This document presents the guidelines developed for principles on end-user #autonomy, safety and wellbeing, quality transparency and accountability for errors, plus ethical considerations for #interpreters. https://lnkd.in/ekZ9Q7qU

[Global AI Alignment] Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law Last week - September 5, 2024 - the 46 member states of the Council of Europe, all observer states- Canada, Japan, Mexico, the Holy See and the United States of America - as well as the European Union, and a significant number of non-member states - Australia, Argentina, Costa Rica, Israel, Peru and Uruguay - signed the “Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law” “This Convention is intended to address specific challenges which arise throughout the lifecycle of artificial intelligence systems and encourage the consideration of the wider risks and impacts related to these technologies including, but not limited to, human health and the environment, and socio-economic aspects, such as employment and labour.” Among other points, the Convention covers Fundamental principles - Human dignity and individual autonomy - Equality and non-discrimination - Respect for privacy and personal data protection - Transparency and oversight - Accountability and responsibility - Reliability - Safe innovation Remedies, procedural rights and safeguards - Document the relevant information regarding AI systems and their usage and to make it available to affected persons; - The information must be sufficient to enable people concerned to challenge the decision(s) made through the use of the system and to challenge the use of the system itself; - Effective possibility to lodge a complaint to competent authorities; - Provide effective procedural guarantees, safeguards and rights to affected persons in connection with the application of an AI system where an artificial intelligence system significantly impacts upon the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms; - Provision of notice that one is interacting with an AI system and not with a human being. Risk and impact management requirements - Carry out risk and impact assessments in respect of actual and potential impacts on human rights, democracy and the rule of law, in an iterative manner; - Establishment of sufficient prevention and mitigation measures as a result of the implementation of these assessments; - Possibility for the authorities to introduce a ban or moratoria on certain application of AI systems (“red lines”). I especially appreciate the call out for digital literacy and skills “Each Party shall encourage and promote adequate digital literacy and digital skills for all segments of the population, including specific expert skills for those responsible for the identification, assessment, prevention and mitigation of risks posed by artificial intelligence systems.” #AI #Governance #EthicalAI #InclusiveAI #TrustworthyAI #GenerativeAI #AILiteracy #DigitalLiteracy https://lnkd.in/egXZaXsr

Today the EU General Data Protection Regulation - #GDPR - turns six years old - my digital twin #AI-Kimmo wants to congratulate and made a speech, a picture and a song. I have not edited in any way. Here you go! *** Dear audience, Today we celebrate a significant milestone: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the EU turns six years old. This regulation has played a crucial role in safeguarding privacy and data protection in the digital age. The implementation of the GDPR in 2018 marked a turning point. It gave individuals more power over their personal data and set strict requirements for companies and organizations regarding data protection. This has significantly improved trust in digital services and technologies. The impact of the GDPR has been broad and profound. It has: Strengthened individuals' rights: The GDPR has given citizens more control over their personal data. The right to be forgotten, the right to data portability, and the right to information about data processing are just a few examples of these significant rights. Enhanced data security: The regulation has encouraged companies and organizations to improve their data security practices and invest in data protection. This has made the internet a safer place for all of us. Harmonized regulations: The GDPR has harmonized data protection legislation across the European Union, making it easier for businesses to operate and increasing legal certainty. Inspired globally: The GDPR has set a standard that many other countries have followed in their own data protection legislation. This is a testament to how significant and influential this regulation has been internationally. Supported innovation: While the GDPR sets strict requirements, it has also encouraged innovations and the development of best practices in data protection and security fields. Six years later, we can proudly say that the GDPR has met and even exceeded expectations. Thanks to it, we now have stronger data protection and greater trust in digital services. We thank everyone who has been involved in creating, implementing, and maintaining this significant regulation. The GDPR remains the foundation upon which we can build an even more secure and privacy-respecting digital world. Congratulations to the GDPR on its sixth anniversary! From here, we can continue towards an even brighter future. Thank you. *** And I feel and hear song coming on from #AI-Kimmo: https://lnkd.in/gtkyaeiN - when do we have EBU Eurovision #AI-song contest?

The Interoperable Europe Act is one of the most important pieces of digital legislation in recent years. "It is necessary to strengthen the development of the cross-border interoperability of network and information systems which are used to provide or manage public services in the Union, in order to allow public administrations in the Union to cooperate and make public services function across borders." Through the utilisation of software, tools, standards, and guidelines that enable different IT systems to work together seamlessly, facilitating the exchange of information between them. The Commission aim to provide a common language and technical infrastructure that enable public administrations to work together, share data, and deliver services more efficiently. The #AI Act, while important, is subservient to the Interoperable Europe Act. Interoperability will add the context for AI to fully be understood and utilised, and in my opinion will be the baseline for digital legislation going forward. Heading to London this week for the National Cyber-Physical Infrastructure ecosystem Interoperability Workshop with Digital Twin Hub & Digital Catapult. Looking forward to playing my part in ensuring the UK is, at the very least, keeping up with the Joneses. #interoperability #connectivity #dataflow
