> EU rules on AI models become enforceable. What's going to change?
I can answer that. A higher regulatory overhead that means less money for R&D and decreased profit margins for companies here in the EU. That's what's going to happen.
> The rulebook sets out rules for all models that lack a specific purpose but can be adapted to a variety of use cases, requiring transparency on how a model was built, disclosure of any copyright-protected content used for training, and enough information for downstream users to understand the model's capabilities.
Re. disclosure: How do they want to do it? It seems to be similar to a “disclosure” used in students’ works: “Source: internet”…
GDPR is more than that. Consent or not, there are things bad actors can do in the USA that in the EU they just can't. Specially to children and vulnerable people. GDPR is an integral part of it. This is a small but significant first step in the right direction. Long way ahead still.
Yes I used it when Confluence had a bug and an account with got stuck and there was no way to delete my account of finish the registration. So I issued a GDPR delete request and re-created the account. tada.wav
GDPR (and ePrivacy before that) requires valid prior consent where optional tracking is used. A site using only technically necessary storage can simply have no consent banner. A business wanting advertising and analytics trackers generally needs some consent interface.
"Not a requirement under GDPR", yes, but certainly not "nothing to do with GDPR". It directly has to do with GDPR when considered in conjunction with business' decisions.
And of course, we can then argue our faces off about what's good and necessary in the world and with businesses and data protection, but saying it has nothing to do with it is just wrong.
It’s insane how that misinformation doesn’t want to die. In 100y we will still have people repeating that we get popup because of gdpr, and nobody will know what a popup or gdpr is
Is it really misinformation? The popups may largely be a result of misunderstandings or malicious compliance, but GDPR has a causal relationship regardless of the intent.

Also going to have to compete against SOTA AI augmented American companies. Which likely means using Chinese models.
Thanks God Xi Jinpeng has the best interests of Europe at heart.
Thanks, now I don't need to even read the article!

No copyright intended
The doers vs talkers of who can make AI accurate and consistent will step forward.
New pop-ups and more unreadable clauses you have to agree to. Remember GDPR?

Remember when HN used to have somewhat informed users? The trite cookie popups have nothing to do with GDPR, this has been repeated ad nauseam...

This being downvoted speaks saddens my heart... and proves the exact intent of the message.
This is heavily downvoted ... and still accurate.

When the city writes an ordinance saying chemical factories must have fire alarms I do not blame the city for the fire alarm noise.
Popups have nothing to do with GDPR. They are reaction to Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive which predates GDPR.
And yes, it is deliberate misinformation.
GDPR is actually good directive. Despite perpetual campaign against it from HN users who would like to abuse other peoples data.
