Did you know that Europe is about to become the new Silicon Valley, but without so much traffic and with more paellas? It turns out that the European Union, in its infinite wisdom (and desire not to be left behind in the technological race), has decided to invest a fortune in creating things called "AI factories." Spain promotes one of the first proposals to create AI factories funded by the EU Imagine a factory, but instead of producing cars or shoes, it produces artificial intelligence! And what is that? Well, it's like having a giant brain in a computer, capable of learning and doing incredible things, like writing poems, composing music or even diagnosing diseases. Why so much excitement about thinking robots? Because artificial intelligence is the new electricity. Everyone wants a piece of it, and Europe doesn't want to be left behind. So they've decided to pit a bunch of countries against each other to see who can build the best AI factories. Spain, alwa...

The European Union's Guide to Surviving Your Difficult American Uncle
Ah, the European Union! That lovely collection of countries who decided that the best way to stop fighting each other was to create enough paperwork to make war seem like the easier option. Well, folks, they're about to face their biggest bureaucratic challenge yet: Trump 2.0 - This Time It's Personal(ity Politics). The European Union's Guide to Surviving Your Difficult American Uncle Picture this: You know that uncle who shows up at family reunions, criticizes everyone's life choices, demands they pay for their own meals, and then complains about nobody visiting him enough? That's about to be America's foreign policy toward Europe. The EU is frantically googling "How to deal with difficult relatives" as we speak. The US-EU relationship is about to become less "strategic partnership" and more "it's complicated" Facebook status. Gone are the days of cozy chats about shared values and mutual understanding. Now it's going ...

The IT Security Disaster Movie "NIS-2"
Imagine a disaster movie where the heroes are government bureaucrats and the villains are... well, other government bureaucrats. That's the reality of the NIS-2 implementation. Forget about towering skyscrapers collapsing or giant asteroids hurtling towards Earth. The real threat to our digital safety lies within the labyrinthine halls of government offices. NIS (The Network and Information Security ) - The NIS2 Directive: A high common level of cybersecurity in the EU The IT Security Disaster Movie "NIS-2" It's like watching a toddler trying to solve a Rubik's Cube. The government, with all its resources and expertise, is fumbling around, twisting and turning the cube in the wrong directions. They're so focused on the individual pieces that they've completely lost sight of the big picture. And the result? A digital Rubik's Cube that's more scrambled than ever before. The EU governments has dropped the ball on cybersecurity, and the conseq...

AI's Shadow Looms Large: The Looming Threat to Millions of IT Jobs
Artificial intelligence, once a concept relegated to the realm of science fiction, is now firmly entrenched in our reality. Its rapid evolution and increasing sophistication have sparked both excitement and trepidation. One area that is being profoundly impacted is the IT industry. A recent study has revealed a startling statistic: approximately 91.5% of IT jobs, including a staggering 10 million positions within the EU, are at risk of being automated by AI. The implications of this are far-reaching. Tasks that were once the exclusive domain of human IT specialists, such as coding, data analysis, and troubleshooting, can now be performed with increasing efficiency and accuracy by AI-powered systems. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT have demonstrated the ability to write code, search for information, and summarize text – core competencies of many IT professionals. But how exactly will AI reshape the IT landscape? According to the study, which surveyed experts on the skills required fo...

Artificial intelligence regulations versus innovation
As the European Union (EU) takes strides to regulate artificial intelligence (AI), concerns arise about stifling innovation and the potential for government misuse. While the EU's AI Act gains traction, across the Atlantic, the US Congress also aims to join the regulatory bandwagon, showcasing their own unique approach to control the uncontrollable. Inspired by the EU's endeavors, the US Congress, known for its ability to grapple with complex issues, contemplates its own AI regulation strategy. The prospect of bipartisan collaboration in crafting legislation is both awe-inspiring and mildly amusing. After all, what better way to address the complexities of AI than through the harmonious voices of political rivals? The EU's risk-based approach has sparked interest among US lawmakers who are eager to embark on a similar path. They believe that by prioritizing areas of potential harm, such as critical infrastructure and public services, they can safeguard the futu...

New AI law: Europe abolishes progress!
The EU, known for its penchant for smothering innovation, has found a new toy: artificial intelligence. And how could it be otherwise, they want to immediately strangle it with their over-regulating hands. The latest AI regulation with the sonorous name "Artificial Intelligence Act" could mean the end for ChatGPT in Europe. What a pity! The EU also has a problem with AI systems ChatGPT, the superstar of the AI world, has created a real hype about artificial intelligence. But of course the EU sees things differently. She would like to evaluate the various AI systems according to their risk and, depending on the classification, introduce bans and obligations. Yes, you heard that right, bans! The EU wants to ban AI systems with unacceptable risk because they could allegedly endanger people. As if we humans weren't capable of taking care of ourselves. And it gets even better. The EU also has a problem with AI systems that all...

EU prepares to impose rules on artificial intelligence
As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to expand and evolve, policymakers are grappling with how to regulate these technologies in a way that protects individuals' rights and safety. The European Union (EU) is at the forefront of these efforts, with the recent announcement of strict new rules that will apply to a range of AI systems, including ChatGPT, the chat robot that has been making headlines in recent months. ChatGPT in the Crosshairs of EU's Proposed AI Regulations The EU's proposed regulations for AI use a risk-based approach, with systems classified into four groups: unacceptable risk, high risk, limited risk, and minimum risk. The most stringent rules will apply to systems that fall into the unacceptable and high-risk categories, which include critical infrastructure, surgery, immigration, and border management, among others. These systems must meet strict requirements before they are released to the market, and fines of up to €30 million or 6% of ...

OECD AI Act - Artificial Intelligence has advantages and disadvantages.
The definition of Artificial Intelligence under the AI Act, which largely overlaps with the definition used by the OECD, describes an AI system as a machine-based system that is designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy and that can generate output such as predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing physical or virtual environments. The AI Act aims to regulate AI technology based on its capacity to cause harm. Therefore, the legislation permits the use of AI systems that do not pose significant risks to individuals, groups of people, or society as a whole. However, the use of AI systems that pose a significant risk must adhere to specific requirements, such as ensuring transparency, accountability, and human oversight. The AI Act prohibits certain uses of AI technology, including the use of biometric data for the purpose of categorizing individuals based on their characteristics or attributes such as gender or health. This legislation is designed to...

EU Adopts OECD Definition for AI in AI Act
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been the subject of intense debate and scrutiny over the past few years. The European Union (EU) has recognized the need for legislation to regulate AI to ensure that it does not cause harm to individuals or society as a whole. The EU's AI Act is a legislative proposal that seeks to regulate AI based on its capacity to cause harm. One of the most politically sensitive parts of the file is the definition of AI, which will define the scope of the EU's AI rulebook. EU Adopts OECD Definition for AI in AI Act On March 3, 2023, representatives of the European Parliament's political groups working on the AI Act reached a political agreement on the definition of AI. The EU Parliament agreed to adopt the definition used by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The definition states that "Artificial intelligence system (AI system) means a machine-based system that is designed to operate with varying levels of au...
