"Romanian Prime Minister unveiled the first government adviser to use artificial intelligence. It showed mistakes in the first month already, so they will have to work on it in the future" - Bogdan Manolea, Executive director, Association for technology and the Internet (Romania)
Romania has a Digital Service Coordinator: ANCOM. Have you read about it in the news? No? Well, neither have we. But we asked 7 Ro institutions about their plans for implementing #DSA and ANCOM delivered the surprise: it has been named the Ro #DSC. https://t.co/TWUZiFtuUG
The new law will give the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) extended competences that cover #cybersecurity, including on aspects such as #propaganda and #misinformation in online activities (but not competence in offline!). This sounds like a recipe for disaster in itself.
Romanian Constitutional Court rejected yesterday all complaints raised for the #cybersecurity law, so probably the draft will be soon approved by the President and will become a law. A thread on implementation risks for #digitalrights and not only.
Romanian #cybersecurity law passes in just one day by the Chamber of Deputies (in both relevant commissions and plenary). No questions. No Comments. No debates. Cyber #breaches to be reported in 48 hours. For almost anyone with IT system More info (in RO) https://t.co/niiCvR1Yoz
M-am certat cu #chatGPT pe tema dezinformării si rolul Guvernului in acest sens. Rezultatul este apocaliptic: Guvernul are întotdeauna dreptate si nu poate greși. (vezi cele 3 imagini) https://t.co/KeyFZfNsqc
I tried the viral Lensa AI portrait app, and got lots and lots of nudes. I know AI image generation models are full of sexist and racist biases, but this one really hit home. My latest story for @techreview https://t.co/AA1cyFFnU1
Our analysis of the new cybersecurity draft bill. The bill imposes absurd obligations to report security breaches, for a disproportionately large number of private entities. The draft contains other issues, and goes against information confidentiality. https://t.co/zDXIXQBTIB

It is absolutely great to see the White House laying out such good policy for AI accountability & promotes rights in the context of AI. But before I get too excited about it, I can't help thinking of the 2012 White House Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights. Look at us 10 yrs later
We published our position on the new Gov. Cloud draft bill, which goes into details about what each institution is responsible for. There is still no impact analysis on #PersonalData, even though it is mandatory. Many of the new norms go against #GDPR. https://t.co/qJWEQxUeLw
