The EU AI law will not be future-proof unless it regulates general purpose AI systems

The proposed EU AI Act from April 2021, by excluding general purpose AI systems, risks endangering our fundamental rights and safety. In the first partial compromise Council text, the Slovenian Presidency introduced a new article on general purpose AI systems that fails to address the harms arising from these AI systems.

The EU needs to protect (more) against AI manipulation

The European Commission published a proposal in April 2021 for the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the EU. It set up some prohibitions on AI manipulation,  which is a good start but does not do enough. The Slovenian EU presidency has since made important suggestions to the proposal, but they can do better still.
