🚨Regulate 'Systemic Foundation Models' only: my @OECD piece argues that #AIAct should apply #DSA-minded approach, limiting Art 28b to highly capable & systemically relevant #foundationmodels. Sufficient protection & better for competition #GenerativeAI

Participated in @GLOBSEC forum upon the invitation of my colleague and big friend of Ukraine @Veronika_Remis. This year it’s all about Ukraine. Global community still wondering on our cyber resistance and efficient response. Russia is overestimated enemy.

In contrast to the EU's AI Act, in the NIST's guidelines, all comes down to how AI is being used and to what purpose https://t.co/jf3ZyMtnMt

Very excited to read John's follow-up:
"Why the Germans Pay in Rubles"

[BenMueller @Ben_CDI]

@s8mb Agree, and would qualify: when politicians offer a compelling vision for a better life, voters get behind them (Thatcher, Blair). In the absence of a positive vision for the future, we revert to narrow incentive-driven voting ('which party likelier to be better for me/my family?)

Ahead of the DSA Trilogue, a timely interview with @eric_seufert. Those involved in DSA negotiations should support, not damage, the EU's digital economy, and help it flourish! #OnlineAdsFacts matter, no matter how desperately activists pretend otherwise. https://t.co/aCxrBaf0HC

The EU is in the final phase of negotiating the Digital Services Act. A ban on online ads targeting minors is likely. Unless carefully worded, the EU will commit a policy mistake of historical proportions and irrevocably damage Europe's digital economy. #OnlineAdsFacts

[BenMueller @Ben_CDI]

Anti-tech activists have consistently denied, in bad faith, the costs of an online ads ban. The GDPR already provides ample privacy protections at great expense! A ban on targeted ads is redundant, and an act of economic self-harm. https://t.co/s72yQEOUae
