Europe, the AI Continent. One year ago, we launched the AI Continent Action Plan. Since then, we have made huge strides: ✅ 19 AI factories are now live across EU countries. ✅ We established the AI Skills Academy to train experts. ✅ The AI Omnibus is cutting costs for business. ✅ We have earmarked €1 billion to support AI adoption in industry. We are building a secure and innovative AI future for Europe. Here's how 👉 https://link.europa.eu/nj3VH9

@EUCommission you know, the link you provided explains none of your claims. What even is an AI factory? Or the AI Omnibus? Seems like your post was made with AI too :/

@fnrd@EUCommission There is a "questions and answers" section on the site. It explains what is an AI factory (but not the AI omnibus). Yes, it is more communication than information but it's a start.

Hi @peachymist! Artificial intelligence already plays a crucial role in our daily lives, and as AI develops, it holds even greater potential to improve the lives of EU citizens: enhancing disease prevention, reducing traffic fatalities, anticipating cyber threats, and much more. That's why we are proposing rules and actions for AI, enabling us to harness its full potential and maximise its benefits.

@EUCommission @peachymist No matter what you explain them and that it exists for decades ago they will hate those 2 letters A and I .. and part of it is very true but we don't want chat control , age verification or other privacy infringing new 'Law's' as AI exists since decades you turn around the subject to tell us what we knew already (I use a LLM myself, self made and running local host) those AI you implement reduce privacy. I won't give my medical records to your systems as all systems can be hacked and one day our data will be everywhere it already happens as I speak.You are not ready to implement it by far but to start learn about it would be a more pleasant message and always leave the decisions to the people.

@EUCommission Please make a screenshot of all the comments and send it to your superior. Ask them to send it to their superiors, until it reaches those in charge.Here are people who know a thing or two about tech begging you to stop your PR and listen for once!We can't afford to fall for every snake oil grift US Big Tech throws at us! We need the EU and those in charge to be really smart now, because as others have written, there's a lot at stake! Dare to resist the hype, for all our sakes!

@EUCommission I don’t know if this account is actually monitored, or just a publishing place, but you may have noticed that this post has received almost overwhelmingly negative responses.You could disregard this as Mastodon bias, but keep in mind that the biggest bias on Mastodon is that people who understand and built core parts of the information technology that you use every day are massively over represented. This is probably the only place you will get a lot of replies from people who both understand technology and do not have a financial incentive to hype things to get large amounts of government funding.EDIT: I should add, I used machine learning during my PhD and there are a lot of problems for which it is a really good fit. But, in the current climate, it’s generally safe to interpret ‘AI’ as meaning ‘machine learning applied to a problem where machine learning is the wrong solution’. It isn’t a technology, it’s a branding term, and it’s a branding term used almost exclusively for things that have no social benefit.

@Gargron @EUCommission @peachymist I understand the sentiment, but it’s militarily and economically untenable. Europe’s militaries would fall behind. Most economic sectors, where not already a victim of Baumol’s cost disease, would become victims of Baumol’s cost disease. The genie is out of the bottle, and to put it back in would require unanimous participation, including bad actors.

@Gargron @EUCommission @peachymist I’m afraid I can’t agree with you here. Europe is not a separate planet, isolated from the rest of the world. If we, as Europe, do not adopt and develop the most advanced solutions, we will simply lose our competitiveness - both in terms of products and the workforce.We can already see this very clearly in the automotive industry. If we turn away from innovation, Europe risks falling into a deep economic crisis instead of strengthening its position.

@Gargron @EUCommission @peachymist AI will undoubtedly change how we build software. In some ways it will help, in others it will harm. But this has already begun and cannot be stopped. Europe cannot simply opt out, or companies will move to Asia or the US, leaving us with rising unemployment. We must build something better: ethical, competitive AI. Europe has the talent and resources to do it. 😉

Then, please elaborate on your points that Al 1) deskills workers 2) makes access to information and knowledqe harder 3) concentrates wealth within big tech. Such that any country would be MORE competetive without Al.

@Gargron @EUCommission @peachymist 1) Work will shift: less manual coding, more reviewing, directing, and managing AI agents. 2) AI adds tools; it does not remove search engines or other ways of accessing knowledge. 3) Wealth is concentrated for now, but that is temporary - smaller local models are already emerging, even on phones. You cannot be more competitive if you refuse to offer the services the market demands.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu :wojak_cursed: please reconsider your choices... There are many fields in which AI is ethical and useful, here are a few (of the many) where it isn't:- Age verification- Text generation- Art generation- Music generation- SurveilancePlease refrain from making any implications that you are spending OUR tax payer money in those fields.I understand corporate lobbyists are trying to convince you that this is what the European peoole want, but trust us, we are the technicians who run the technology you use, and in many cases the people who are forced economically to develop these solutions. The European people do NOT want that.
