Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming one of the most transformative technologies the world has ever seen. In the UK, we stand at a regulatory crossroads. The new Labour government has signalled that it will introduce #AI legislation but so far, plans lack detail. Will it follow the EU's stringent approach or chart its own course to balance innovation and safety? Fourtold’s new whitepaper, “Liberate, Innovate or Regulate: Can the UK lead in AI?” looks at regulatory developments from around the world and examines whether the UK can develop an approach that balances safety and innovation.  You can read the paper below.

Important updates from LUCIA EU Project 🔊 LUCIA is an EU-funded project with the main objective of creating a toolbox for discovering and understanding new risk factors that contribute to #LungCancer development. Since #AI is a core component of LUCIA's research phase and beyond, it is highly relevant to understand how it will be affected by #AI legislation 👇

Researchers, what does the EU AI Act mean for you?  Wondering how this new regulation will impact scientific research? Let Adarsh S Thambi break it down for you. Whether you’re developing AI models or testing high-risk systems, you play a crucial role in the future of AI. The EU AI Act is extensive and can be challenging to interpret, but we’re here to guide you. What does this mean? -Research Exemption: AI systems developed solely for research are exempt from regulation until put into service. This means you have the freedom to explore and innovate in the early stages of development! - Recital 25 -Safe Spaces for Innovation: Utilize AI sandboxes to experiment in real-world conditions with fewer legal barriers- Article 58,27 -Ethical Responsibility: While your AI research is initially exempt, remember that manipulative or exploitative systems are prohibited- Recital 109 What should you do to Stay Ahead? -Identify and leverage regulatory sandboxes for safe testing. -Plan ahead for compliance. -Build AI aligned with ethical standards to mitigate risks down the line. Do you want to know more about navigating the EU AI Act?  We’re here to ensure your research journey is smooth and responsible.    #EUAIAct #scientificresearch #EthiAI

Curiosity and the quest for doing better are intrinsic to our human journey. From the discovery of fire to the creation of the wheel, from the dawn of written language to the revolutionary invention of Gutenberg's printing press, humans have continually pushed the boundaries of what's possible. #AI stands as a testament to this relentless pursuit of progress.

All major countries are racing to deploy artificial intelligence (AI), but their national strengths vary markedly. Turning AI lead into gains will test policymakers. Impacts: 👉 US-Chinese rivalry in the technology sector will be increasingly concentrated on AI. 👉 The EU’s AI Act will be closely examined by all emerging AI powers, although extensive replication of EU law is unlikely. 👉 Tight political controls on the technology sector could hinder the commercial success of Chinese AI beyond the domestic market.

As my reading further in "AI Ethics" & "Responsible AI", found this amazing initiative AI for Good supported by the United Nations, and driven by the International Telecommunication Union.

🤖 The eagerly awaited AI Act will be published in the next few weeks, but how does it impact the LUCIA EU Project?   1.      Imposing Legal Requirements for AI: The AI Act will introduce extensive legal requirements for AI systems placed on the EU market. This move aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and user protection in artificial intelligence systems.   2.      Exclusion for Research and Development: Importantly for our research project, the AI Act does not apply to AI systems designed solely for scientific research and development purposes. Researchers are encouraged to continue pushing the boundaries of AI innovation.   3.      Committed to Responsible AI Solutions: As one of our project's objectives is to develop AI-based solutions for real-life situations beyond the research phase, we are staying informed and aligning our developments with industry standards. That way, we ensure that our AI-based solutions not only meet the highest research standards but are also poised for seamless integration into real-world applications.   🚀 As the EU AI Act unfolds, we're excited about the positive implications it holds for the responsible and ethical advancement of AI technologies.

Interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly increased in recent years, accompanied by increasingly faster technological evolutions that reinforce the idea of an innovation destined to be part of our lives for a long time. The current pace of progress in the field of AI – #AI and #GenAI – makes it far from easy to predict how it will affect Companies and Society as a whole; in this context, with the AI Act - or Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of 13 June 2024 - the European Union has started adopting specific regulations, intended to be the basis for other national and international regulatory acts, establishing harmonized rules on artificial intelligence. At Consilia Business Management we support companies and institutions that adopt, produce or distribute Artificial Intelligence systems, offering assistance for compliance with regulatory provisions on these topics, such as the AI Act.
