updates: The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has launched a competition probe into Microsoft's hiring of former employees of Inflection AI and other deals between the two parties. The CMA will assess whether these actions have led or may lead to a 'substantial lessening of competition' in the UK market. The CMA has until September 11, 2024, to decide whether to refer the deal for a more in-depth investigation. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has requested more details from Amazon regarding its deal with AI startup Adept. The FTC's request does not necessarily indicate an official investigation or enforcement action. Both the CMA and FTC are investigating tech giants' deals with AI startups amid concerns of potential anticompetitive behavior. The authorities are concerned about the impact of these deals on competition in the AI market and whether they give the tech giants an unfair advantage over smaller competitors. The FTC and Justice Department have expressed interest in potential probes into Microsoft, OpenAI, and chipmaker Nvidia.

The law takes a risk-based approach, with tougher requirements for riskier systems and fines for violations ranging from 7.5 million to 35 million euros. The legislation will now need to be ratified by the European Council before it can come into force. Once ratified, the AI Act is expected to be implemented in May and will be ratified in stages by 2025.

Version 0.3 (2024-03-14 06:00:43.279000)

updates: The European Union Parliament has adopted the Artificial Intelligence Act, a new law that sets strict rules on the use of AI and aims to ensure its safe and ethical use. The law introduces regulations for both 'general purpose' AI models and 'high-risk' AI systems. General purpose AI models will be required to comply with transparency obligations and European rules on copyright. High-risk AI systems will be subject to stricter requirements, including a ban on certain use cases such as biometric categorization systems using sensitive characteristics and emotion recognition in the workplace and educational institutions. The legislation also establishes a European AI office within the European Commission to oversee surveillance and enforcement. The AI Act will go into effect 24 months after publication, with bans on prohibited practices applying six months after the entry into force date, codes of practice going into effect nine months after entry into force, general-purpose AI rules going into effect 12 months after entry into force, and obligations for high-risk systems going into effect 36 months after entry into force. Companies that fail to comply with the legislation face fines ranging from €35 million to €7.5 million, depending on the infringement and size of the company. The law is expected to be approved by the 27 states of the European Union in April and published in the Official Journal in May or June. The AI Act represents a pivotal moment for the AI industry and sets a precedent for other countries to follow. However, some privacy and human rights groups argue that the regulations don't go far enough and threaten citizens' rights. Tech organizations like IBM and Salesforce commend the AI Act for its risk-based approach and commitment to ethical AI practices. The AI Act aims to provide a risk-based approach to regulating AI without stifling innovation. The legislation creates new guardrails for developing and deploying AI systems and tools, including transparency requirements and regulations related to copyright, intellectual property, data privacy, health and safety, and ethical issues. The AI Act also addresses AI-generated deepfakes and requires clear disclosures labeling AI-generated images, video, and audio. The legislation categorizes AI systems as 'high risk' or 'low risk' based on their potential harm to EU citizens' rights or safety. The AI Act bans certain uses of AI systems that pose an 'unacceptable risk,' such as social credit scoring, behavioral manipulation, untargeted scraping of images for facial recognition, and exploiting citizens' vulnerabilities. The legislation will become enforceable by 2026, with violations potentially resulting in fines of 7% of a company's global revenue or up to 35 million euros. The AI Act is seen as an opportunity for AI companies to raise global standards if they make the EU a benchmark for AI application. The legislation follows the GDPR and arrives as the AI industry is still in its early days. Companies are advised to map out their data and content strategies before the AI Act takes effect.

Violations of the laws could result in fines ranging from €7.5 million to €35 million or 1.5% to 7% of their global turnover. The laws will affect large general AI systems and applications used in critical infrastructure, education, healthcare, law enforcement, border management, and elections. The EU AI Act only applies to AI systems used in Europe, and its impact on AI usage is not expected to be immediate. The passage of the EU AI Act has been welcomed by the tech industry, and companies are advised to start paying attention to the legislation, as it applies to any AI-enabled enterprise doing business in the EU or impacting EU citizens.
