Hey everyone! Let's dive into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the rules that might shape its future. Recently, in December 2023, the European Parliament cooked up something called the "Artificial Intelligence Act." It's like a set of rules to make sure AI doesn't cause too much trouble. But what's in it?
These rules aim to keep AI in check. They want to create a scale of rules – stricter for riskier AI stuff. Things like AI systems giving people social scores based on behavior or recognizing faces everywhere might get the toughest restrictions. If you break these rules in the EU, you could face fines up to seven percent of your global sales!
But wait, it's not a done deal yet. The European Parliament and Council still need to give it a thumbs up. If all goes well, these rules will kick in by 2025. And yeah, it's a bit confusing because no one's sure how they'll make sure everyone follows these rules in 27 countries.
Europe is trying to be a trendsetter in tech rules. They did it with GDPR (a bunch of rules about personal data protection), and now they're at it again with AI. But will the world follow suit? Some folks in the US are worried that if they make similar rules, they might fall behind in the tech race against China.
Now, China's been into AI rules for a while. They keep a close eye on recommendation algorithms and generative AI. No messing with prices using algorithms, and they want AI creators to be honest about what their tech can do. Workers' rights are on the list too, protecting folks from unfair AI work schedules.
In the US, it's a bit more chill. They're not super strict yet, but they're getting there. Big companies are promising to be good with AI, checking for biases and privacy issues. President Joe Biden even signed an order saying if you're making powerful AI, you have to share safety test results before launching it. They're also looking into using AI in things like predicting crimes and setting sentences.
Some companies are setting their own AI rules, especially regarding jobs. Microsoft is putting AI clauses in work contracts to protect employees. Las Vegas hotel workers made a deal with bosses to get a heads-up when new tech might shake up their jobs.
Because AI isn't just local – everywhere – there's a need for global rules. Countries are talking about working together to manage risks and plan AI stuff. The UN might step in too. They're thinking of pushing countries to use AI in a way that respects human rights. They're not afraid of AI being misused to mess with peace and people's rights.
Now, let's throw in some numbers from 2023. A human rights group called Freedom House found out that AI, especially the generative kind, is making a mess online. At least 47 governments played around with online talks, and AI was part of it. In 16 countries, AI created fake text, audio, and images to stir up trouble. Plus, in 21 places, there are laws forcing tech platforms to use AI to wipe out unwanted speech.
So, what's coming in 2024? More countries and groups will probably try to set rules for AI. The real question is, who's going to keep an eye on those making the rules? Stay tuned for more adventures in the world of AI!
