#EU #AI #AIAct #AIRegulation #SelfRegulation: "If we have learned anything from the ex-post regulation of social networking services over the past decade that led to the adoption of the DSA, it is that we cannot afford another dominant technological paradigm that is shaped out of society’s sight. Researchers, regulators, and civil society need to be able to assess the impact of AI, and mandatory transparency and documentation are the only truly proven mechanisms to create the conditions for this.

This means the AI Act must include mandatory documentation and transparency requirements for all foundational models, shedding light on how models were trained and what data was used. The information should include data on resource consumption, which is essential for shaping policies that will guarantee the development and deployment of this new wave of technology in the most sustainable way possible rather than exacerbating the already unsustainable resource use of the tech industry.

In this situation, it is important that the European Parliament and the Commission stick to their guns and do not give in to the self-serving rhetoric of a few member states who are acting on the misguided idea that weakening much-needed regulation will somehow give them a leg up in the global race to capture the AI space."

WTF, same guys surrendering for the 3rd time this week.

#Gaza #Israel #Propaganda

As internet access in Gaza is controlled by israel and is only active under short period of time each day, fhere are not many news and updates manage to come out of the catastrophic situation of people there.

These 4 video I shared on telegram shows the devastating results of the latest bombings in Gaza to remind people that the conflict is not over, just because they have managed to silence the voices from there.

People still blown up by Israeli bombs.

Children still dying of injuries and hunger.

People spend up to 10h a day staying in line to get a bit of water and food.

Please, please, please don't let this become another forgotten conflict.

Outrageous but true : Israeli official: The transportation project, launched without publicity amid U.S.-brokered Saudi-Israel normalization talks, has picked up steam due to Ansarullah attacks in the Red Sea.

A land corridor for the delivery of cargo from the Persian Gulf States to Israel through Saudi Arabia and #Jordan and back is up and running, with operations increasing during the Israel-Hamas war as alternate sea routes have come under attack.

They not only doing nothing to help Palestinians, they now helping Israel to bypass Yemeni de-facto blockade.
