"Simplification should not be a guise for deregulation.

By mistaking transparency and openness for an obstacle, not a driver, of innovation, it would shoot itself in the foot. The new transparency rules for AI and data under the EU’s AI Act may become one of the first casualties of this new impetus to roll back some of the recently adopted requirements for the providers of so-called general-purpose AI (GPAI) models.

Under the EU’s AI Act, developers of GPAI models — that is, very large AI models such as OpenAI’s GPT or Google’s Gemini models — will soon have to present a “sufficiently detailed” public summary of the data they used to train the models.

This summary could be a light-touch way to drastically advance transparency around the use of one of AI’s most precious inputs, data at little additional cost to developers.

But if the EU’s AI Office gives in to industry pressure to water down the level of detail, this summary will turn into a performative checkbox exercise that ultimately offers little value to anyone. This would be misguided and short-sighted."

EUobserver · Gutting AI transparency in the name of deregulation will not help EuropeThere has been a vibe shift in Brussels. Over are the days in which the EU postures as the global digital rulemaker who reins in Big Tech. In an attempt to shake its reputation as a tech laggard and adjust to new geopolitical realities, the EU is now pivoting toward regulatory simplification.

IAPP · A view from Brussels: What is and isn't in the EU's AI Continent Action PlanBy Isabelle Roccia

"The substance of the draft is equally concerning. While its purpose is to help providers comply with existing obligations, the current draft goes beyond mere clarification – introducing new requirements not envisioned in the AI Act.

One example is the proposed role of “external evaluators” before releasing GPAI models with systemic risks, which is not provided for in the AI Act. The draft mandates providers to obtain external systemic risk assessments, including model evaluations, before placing their models on the market (commitment II.11). However, the AI Act itself (Art. 55(1)(a) and recital 114) does not impose this requirement – it only calls for adversarial testing of model evaluations, not independent external risk assessments.

Another example concerns copyright: measure I.2.4. of the draft requires GPAI model developers to make reasonable efforts to determine whether protected content was collected by a robots.txt-compliant crawler – an obligation not imposed by the AI Act either. Additionally, measure I.2.5. mandates that GPAI model providers take reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of downstream AI systems repeatedly generating copyright-infringing content and to prohibit such uses in their terms and conditions. However, these requirements are not found in the AI Act or the Copyright Directive 2019/790, which addresses only primary liability (i.e., the responsibility of GPAI model providers) and does not extend to secondary liability arising from text and data mining.

Again, the issue is not whether these requirements are reasonable, but that the Code’s sole purpose is to clarify the obligations of the AI Act, not to redefine them. Therefore, the Code must not be used as a Trojan horse to reshape the AI Act according to political preferences – bypassing democratic procedures."

The Independent · A ‘historic pivot’ is happening in tech. It could change everythingBy Anthony Cuthbertson

Die Umsetzung der europäischen KI-Verordnung #AIAct schreitet voran. Für den Umgang mit sog. #Hochrisiko-KI bedeutet dies u.a., dass Grundrechte-Folgenabschätzungen (#FRIA) nötig sind 💻

Wir konnten hierzu an einem Statement des Europäische Netzwerk nationaler Menschenrechtsinstitutionen (#ENNHRI) mitwirken: Zehn darin enthaltene Empfehlungen sollen sicherzustellen, dass #FRIAs auch wirklich zum #Grundrechtsschutz beitragen ✔️

Das komplette Statement finden Sie hier:

Bei der RTR/AK-Veranstaltung „KI in Personalmanagement und Beschäftigung“ am 7.4.2025 zeigte unsere Kollegin Madeleine Müller, wie das Recht auf Erklärung (Art. 86 AI Act) und Transparenzpflichten im KI-gestützten Personalwesen umgesetzt werden können. Mit dem Projekt „Aufklärung 4.0“ stärken wir Datenschutz und Nachvollziehbarkeit.
