🗣️ Transparency isn’t red tape, it’s accountability

The #DigitalOmnibus proposes to remove Article 49(2) from the #AIAct. This would allow AI providers to dodge registration of high-risk systems by self-declaring they’re “not high risk”.
This would weaken enforcement, undermine legal certainty & erode fundamental rights, all for €100 saving per company.

Name a worse trade.

We urge EU lawmakers to reject this rollback & uphold the integrity of the AI Act.

Un appello ai legislatori dell'UE: proteggere i diritti e respingere la richiesta di eliminare la garanzia della trasparenza nel #AIAct

«Noi, organizzazioni e individui sottoscritti, vi esortiamo con la massima fermezza a respingere l'eliminazione della garanzia di trasparenza di cui all'articolo 49(2) per i sistemi di IA ad alto rischio, proposta nell'AI Omnibus.»

Mit dem #DigitalOmnibus will die EU-Kommission wichtige Schutzvorkehrungen des #AIAct zurückfahren. Wir fordern die beteiligten Institutionen jetzt dazu auf, diese geplante Deregulierung von Transparenzpflichten zu Hochrisiko-„KI“ aus dem Verkehr zu ziehen.

i love the angle in this letter, that predicts companies might save around 100 euros by not doing the work of registering themselves in a transparency database (if they provide high-risk AI systems but disagree with the high-risk classification)

100 euros saved and guaranteed erosion of trust and accountability. a bargain!

Die EU-Kommission hat den „Digitalen Omnibus“ vorgestellt: zentrale Digitalgesetze wie DSGVO, Data Act und AI Act sollen vereinfacht und zusammengeführt werden.
Kritik aus der Rechtswissenschaft:
• mögliche Absenkung des Datenschutzes
• erleichtertes KI-Training mit personenbezogenen/sensiblen Daten
• unklare Aufsicht und neue Rechtsunsicherheiten.
