@EUCommission Dear European Commission,
I appreciate the initiative, but I have concerns. Will the platform use AI to detect AI-generated content? As an artist whose work was trained on without consent for 20 years, detection tools now incorrectly flag my human-made art as "likely AI-generated" ( see: https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/116941001377913004 ).
What safeguards exist to prevent this?
@davidrevoy @EUCommission The platforms will most likely use watermarks in AI content. If calibrated correctly, they have very low false positive rates. However, they are also easy to remove and it is unclear what platforms will do with AI content generated with unwatermarked Open-Weight-Models etc.

@EUCommission when EU will take care of Google monopolistic practicies?
There is almost no way to buy Android phone without GoogleMobileServices (GMS) GMS so intrusive that even EU countries GOVs Apps are dependend on them. Same with banking Apps.
GooglePay in GMS killed other contactless payment options. The ones that remains are dependent on GMS.
I'm so old that I remember when Microsoft was punished for preinstaling InternetExplorer. What Google is doing is worse. -

@davidrevoy @EUCommission I think this is targeted at those who provide services to generate AI content. They have to add watermarks to the generated content.

@EUCommission
Yesterday, I finally saw the first TV ads labeled as AI. The label was a few pixels tall and appeared only after the fake video ended. Several AI ads, that have been running for months, are still unlabeled. The label should not only be mandatory, but also well visible, and should appear while the AI video is playing, so everyone can be aware of which companies don't bother employing real people -

@chris @EUCommission Thank you. I see. I will read the details again.
In any case, if it is limited to forcing AI provider to watermark in UE, a workaround sounds very straightforward (even to a 12 years/old): a user could simply purchase a VPN, then generate AI in a region outside the EU without the imposed watermark, and then post back the result on EU networks without being flagged as AI.

@EUCommission We can't trust the tool itself, so ban the tool !
Which tool? AI in general?

@EUCommission How about adding in "when using AI slopchat as customer assistance, always provide a means to directly contact real human customer service"

@davidrevoy @EUCommission I am not sure how it works. I didn't read the legal document but one avenue would be to require a company that operates in the EU to always mark the posts. But I don't know if the law is written that way.
Google already rolled out their watermarking but that is only in metadata. I think the EU demands that the watermark is visible.

AI is being used to exponentially massacre innocent people in Palestine, by EU-backed Israel:
"(it's) used to manufacture targets so that Israeli military forces can continue to bombard Gaza at an enormous rate, punishing the general Palestinian population." This includes "enabling the systematization of dropping a 2000 lb bomb into a home to kill one person and everybody around them".

Don't sponsor genocide. End the EU-Israel trade agreement.

@max
And both of those beg a simple question: "how?"
@EUCommission @ASardinianAbroad@ozzelot @max @EUCommission @ASardinianAbroad to me I see it as a good thing that at least trying to lie and hide usage of AI is an actual criminal offense now, and it's a first step towards hopefully stricter regulation in the future

@EUCommission are the names of the people who made this law listed anywhere visible to the public?

@xgebi @EUCommission this is almost pointless for exactly that reason - it will be left to national enforcement of loose law i.e. mainly looking away.
(That said, Ireland's enforcement of privacy rights is not much to brag about. When companies don't respect privacy law, as many based here don't, we almost never take action and the rare triggered action are slow and mere speeding fines when we do.)
@kasilas @xgebi @EUCommission Well, generally the IE DPA has to be dragged into acting. By activists, Irish courts, or EU institutions like the EDPB.
That's the trouble with MS-level enforcement; politicians literally see lenient enforcement of regulations as a competitive location advantage.
Or to cite the initial Austrian implementation law for the GDPR, if my memory is correct, the DPA was actually instructed not to fine in regular cases, just to admonish.
