I was actually fearing something very stupid coming from the EU, but the requirements/questions asked (if it's only that from the table) are fairly ok!

View on HN

It's notable that Hugging Face's BLOOM (https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom) might already be compliant (ignoring the 'member states' requirement which I'm sure they could comply with easily enough, it's about disclosing EU member where the model is on the market, so them simply listing all EU countries in a doc somewhere may suffice).

Some may be tempted to point at the lower scores of OpenAI, Google and Facebook models and say this means the regulations aren't fit for purpose, though of course you can take the view this means OpenAI, Google and Facebook aren't doing a good enough job of how they train and publish data about their models.

The full marks for Google in the 'member-states' section made me laugh out loud. -- Bard is not available in the EU. ;)

Good point, so really it should have full marks across the board ;)

350 pages of ramblings that nobody who was voting for this act hasn't actually read?

In comparison, the Inflation Reduction Act, an one-off act, is 750 pages long.

“If you don't want them to know something, put it in a book, they'll never read it” Idea as an old as the world itself :)

Or of an actual sensible legislation that requires accountability from AI development and deployment: https://softwarecrisis.dev/letters/the-truth-about-the-eu-ac...

Yeah but a two-page font size 20 alternative proposal would introduce a thousand obvious and another ten thousand non-obvious loopholes, much like that double negative of yours. (I'm not trying to be a grammar Nazi, English isn't my native lang either) One of the reasons why the Constitution of USA has to be interpreted constantly is because it's relatively short and vague.

There is this weird and very real similarity between code and law. I realised this when I had to read up on some laws that were relevant to me, and found them shockingly easy to understand despite never having studied law.

Yeah I found something similar as well. It's all logic.

You are one wicked free thinker dude.

I wish haha, they are just following the guidelines :)) https://www.openculture.com/2022/01/read-the-cias-simple-sab...

When you write code, do you also ignore edge cases to keep things simple?
