Artificial Intelligence is the use of advanced forms of machine learning, including neural networks. It has been in existence as a concept since Turing and von Neumann explained the techniques of data processing. When we talk to policymakers about AI regulation we face a very similar problem as with cyberlaw and network neutrality. It is undefined, as revealed in the inadequate European Union AI Act in draft. Legal technology history requires this primer on the good/bad lessons of cyberlaw & network neutrality history versus AI unregulation. There is a contemporary comparison for AI regulation via ethics with disinformation and electronic privacy policy, all largely unenforced and left to ethical codes of conduct. Some differences exist, but cyberlaw and broadband policy provide good comparisons with AI policy, because all are broadly general purpose technologies that must eventually be regulated. I argue in conclusion that effective enforcement will require co-regulation.
EU'S Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI 2019ELSE CORP
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most transformative forces of our time, and is bound to alter the fabric of society.
This working document constitutes a draft of the AI Ethics Guidelines produced by the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI), of which a final version is due in March 2019. Trustworthy AI has two components: (1) it should respect fundamental rights, applicable regulation and core principles and values, ensuring an ethical purpose” and (2) it should be technically robust and reliable since, even with good intentions, a lack of technological mastery can cause unintentional harm.
Using systems thinking to improve organisationsDavid Alman
Systems Thinking has been described as an approach to problem solving where "problems" are viewed as symptoms of an underlying system. If the underlying cause of a system problem is not addressed, problems can repeat and grow and cause unexpected consequences. This blog introduces a System Thinking Maturity Model, an ST Maturity Model, to help assess the underlying cause of problems and select a Systems Thinking Approach to resolve them.

The Future of Humanity
Through our interaction with machines, we develop emotional, human expectations of them. Alexa, for example, comes alive when we speak with it. AI is and will be a representation of its cultural context, the values and ethics we apply to one another as humans.
This machinery is eerily familiar as it mirrors us, and eventually becomes even smarter than us mere mortals. We’re programming its advantages based on how we see ourselves and the world around us, and we’re doing this at an incredible pace. This shift is pervading culture from our perceptions of beauty and aesthetics to how we interact with one another – and our AI.
Infused with technology, we’re asking: what does it means to be human?
Our report examines:
• The evolution of our empathy from humans to animals and robots
• How we treat AI in its infancy like we do a child, allowing it space to grow
• The spectrum of our emotional comfort in a world embracing AI
• The cultural contexts fueling AI biases, such as gender stereotypes, that drive the direction of AI
• How we place an innate trust in machines, more than we do one another
Methodology
For this report, sparks & honey conducted US-focused research on the future of AI. Together with Heartbeat AI Technologies, we examined the emotional sentiment (feeling and emotions) around artificial intelligence in a Heartbeat AI Pulse Survey of 150 people in the US. Tapping into our Influencer Advisory Board and proprietary cultural intelligence system, we combed through thousands of signals to build a vision of the future of AI. We also interviewed leading experts in the field of artificial intelligence.

Most Canadian organizations will miss their net zero targets if they continue the current pace of emissions reductions. While 40% of large Canadian companies have committed to reaching net zero by 2050, none are on track to meet this target based on reductions since 2010. All sectors must significantly accelerate emissions cuts, with companies needing to double the pace of reductions by 2030 and quintuple it by 2040 to achieve net zero operations before 2050. The Canadian government has outlined plans to incentivize this transition through investments in green infrastructure, regulations for transparency, and enhanced support for clean technologies.

Prosumer Law and Networked Platform Regulation: The Long View
Platform regulation has become the cause of technology regulation: a call to regulate the intermediaries who provide platforms for networked digital services. These include the GAFA giants: Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple. Many policy entrepreneurs are peddling solutions as the policy cycle turns, in a classic Kingdon case of ‘solutions chasing a problem’. Yet networks are not new, and their platforms have been regulated for hundreds of years. In this paper, I take the long view, focussing on common carriage neutrality and the railways/telegraphy regulation of the 1840s in England. I offer some historical examples that may be highly relevant to ‘prosumer’ digital capitalism 180 years later.
Any Internet user who has posted content, from Facebook to Twitter to blog posts to podcasts, has become a prosumer – though there are very broad categories, ranging from the occasional tweeter to the fully developed hacker. Over two billion people now use Google to search for content, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp to share news, gossip and photos, YouTube to watch and upload videos, and Twitter/Snap and other sites to say just about anything. We are all becoming ‘prosumers’ sharing intimate details of our personal lives. But this ‘prosumer environment’ is currently either grossly unregulated, leaving users' data and content at the mercy of the multinationals who host it and sometimes claim to own it, or subject to knee-jerk over-regulation as with the current ‘fake news’ controversy in Germany. It is a new regulatory policy cycle in network regulation.
Regulatory responses are finally emerging, driven by both data protection and competition concerns, yet the over-arching need to ensure greater neutrality of intermediaries has largely been limited to last mile monopolists and mobile oligopolists: the legacy telecommunications companies who provide Internet access. What is needed is a comprehensive Prosumer Law solution that draws on fundamental human rights to privacy and free expression, competition, and technology regulation to ensure a fair and neutral deal for prosumers and citizens.

ICTs for development: from e-Readiness to e-AwarenessIsmael Peña-López
Seminar given in Barcelona, November 20th, 2007 at the Executive Master in e-Governance, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
http://ictlogy.net/bibciter/reports/projects.php?idp=801
This document discusses using the Internet of Things (IoT) to create smart cities. It begins by defining IoT and describing how connecting various components through sensors, microcontrollers and the internet can improve quality of life. The document then discusses the architecture of an urban IoT network, including different components like sensors, gateways and the web. It describes various services an IoT-enabled smart city could provide, such as traffic management, garbage collection, air quality monitoring and energy usage optimization. Finally, the document presents a conceptual model of an urban IoT network and discusses protocols like HTTP, CoAP and 6LoWPAN that could be used to connect constrained devices in a smart city IoT system.
Big data: uncovering new mobility patterns and redefining planning practicesMickael Pero
Using representations and data that are digital, we can create images about what happens where and when in cities, including mobility patterns that remained unaccounted until now. If properly analysed, big data for mobility can radically improve the socioeconomic and environmental analysis of public and sustainable transport. This session will discuss how big data is affecting mobility in terms of new travel behaviour and transport planning. At the user level, the relations between social networks, social media usage and travel behaviour in EU countries will be discussed. Scientific insight on the social media usage of millennial students in EU countries to understand their impact on social activities and mobility in urban areas will be presented. At the planer level, responses to changes in mobility patterns or unaccounted needs given by the analysis of public transport smart data will be presented. Advances on an integrated accessibility index will be discussed as a way for policy makers to improve current transport planning practices. Yet, big data in transport is not immune from some problems, especially those relating to statistical validity, bias and incorrectly imputed causality. This point will be discussed alongside liability, since Big data is gathered and manipulated by many different stakeholders. The proposed panel discussion therefore aims to provide to the audience a clear understanding on ways in which big data affects travel behaviour and transport planning, while accounting for data quality and pan European standardisation aspects.

Module 10 - Section 2: ICTs, the environment and climate change & Section 3: ...Richard Labelle
Innovation in ICTs can have a significant impact in mitigating the impact of climate change and have an important role to play in facilitating and managing adaptation to climate change.
Slide presentations developed to demonstrate how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) be used to address climate change, and why ICTs are a crucial part of the solution – i.e. in promoting efficiency, Green Growth & sustainable development, in dealing with climate change and for climate and environmental action. These slide presentations were delivered in February 2011 in Seongnam, near Seoul in Korea.
These presentations were developed and delivered over 2.5 days on the occasion of a Regional Training of Trainers Workshop for upcoming Academy modules on ICT for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Abatement. These modules were developed as part of the Academy of ICT Essentials for Government leaders developed by the United Nations (UN) Asia Pacific Centre for ICT Training (APCICT), based in Songdo City, in the Republic of South Korea.
These presentations were developed in 2011, and are somewhat out of date, but most of the principles still apply. Module 10, which has been published, does not include much of the information outlined in these presentations, which are fairly technical. They were developed to address a significant gap in understanding of the technical basis of using ICTs for climate action and because there is a clear bias in development circles against the importance of dealing with climate change mitigation in developing countries. These presentations are an attempt to redress this lack and are published here with this purpose in mind.
The author, Richard Labelle, is presently working on updating these presentations to further highlight the importance of addressing climate change and the important role that technology including ICTs, play in this effort.
Governing algorithms – perils and powers of ai in the public sector1(1)PanagiotisKeramidis
This document summarizes a presentation on governing algorithms and AI in the public sector. It discusses:
1. The emerging benefits and risks of using AI in the public sector, such as improving services but also risks of discrimination and lack of transparency.
2. The challenges of governing AI in three ways: governance "of" AI by introducing it properly, "with" AI by ensuring humans remain in control, and "by" AI by addressing risks if humans fully rely on AI decisions.
3. Lessons learned about avoiding potential dystopian outcomes by adopting a public value perspective, handling disruption, and designing new governance models for AI-enabled services.

Our FutureTDM workshop at the European Parliament focus at the development of TDM policy. With EU copyright reform now in progress, we bring together policy makers and stakeholder groups so that we can share FutureTDM’s findings and our first expert driven policy recommendations that can help increase EU TDM.
The document discusses the emerging "Internet of Things" (IoT) which refers to the networking of physical objects through sensors and internet connectivity. It notes that IPv6 addresses and Moore's law have enabled the vast scaling of IoT by allowing anything to connect to everything. It describes how IoT adoption is occurring at an exponential pace similar to mobile phone adoption. The document outlines how IoT will disrupt many industries like insurance, transportation, education, and skills/trades as physical objects and processes become integrated into global data networks and clouds. It raises questions about how individuals, organizations, and society should prepare for and shape the transition to an IoT-connected world.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.

3. UK AI RESEARCH
• Trusted Autonomous Systems Governance & Regulation Pillar 1, my
focus is
• the future of Artificial Intelligence regulation, focussed on those
issues above,
• the proposed EU Artificial Intelligence Act and its enforcement,
• where the rhetoric very often is completely at odds with the reality and
• poorly understood by observers outside the European institutions.
5. WHEN WE TALK TO POLICYMAKERS ABOUT AI
REGULATION
WE FACE A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM AS WITH
INTERMEDIARY LIABILITY & NETWORK NEUTRALITY
Most don't even know what it is, as revealed in the inadequate AI Act in
draft.
• AI in 2022 (as loosely defined) looks as mysterious as
• the Internet at the time of the dotcom boom or broadband deployment.
• Effective enforcement will be incredibly difficult & require co-
regulation.
• Legal technology history requires a primer on the
• good/bad lessons of intermediary liability & network neutrality history
• versus AI unregulation

8. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS THE USE OF ADVANCED
FORMS OF MACHINE LEARNING, INCLUDING NEURAL
NETWORKS
• It has been in existence as a concept since
• Turing and von Neumann invested the techniques of data
processing
• In the so-called ‘AI winter’ of the 1980s following the Lighthill
report of 1973,
• academic natural language recognition and robotics research was
scaled back
• but many aspects of what later became termed AI developed
rapidly,
10. ARTICLE 3(1) OF THE DRAFT AI ACT
STATES THAT 'ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
SYSTEM' MEANS:
• software that is developed with [specific] techniques and approaches
listed in Annex 1
• can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, generate outputs such
as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing the
environments they interact with
• Annex 1 lays out a list of techniques and approaches that are used
today to develop AI.
• 'AI system' would refer to a range of software-based technologies that
encompasses 'machine learning', 'logic and knowledge-based' systems,
and 'statistical' approaches.
12. COVERS AI SYSTEMS THAT CAN BE USED ON A
STAND-ALONE BASIS OR AS A COMPONENT OF A
PRODUCT.
• proposed legislation aims to be future-proof and cover future AI
technological developments
(Ever known any EU legislation that didn’t…?)
• Commission would complement the Annex 1 list with new
approaches and techniques
• used to develop AI systems as they emerge –
• through the adoption of delegated acts (Article 4)
• Using European standards….
14. AI ACT GIVES EUROPEAN REGULATION TO
JTC 21
• VDE Sebastian Hallensleben accused Michael Veale of being
"almost a conspiracy theorist"
• all standards bods in JTS21 “For are they all, all honourable
men...”
15. CEN AND CENELEC ESTABLISHED THE CEN-
CENELEC JOINT TECHNICAL COMMITTEE 21
‘ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE’
• based on the recommendations presented in the CEN-CENELEC response to
the EC White Paper on AI,
• the CEN-CENELEC Focus Group Road Map on Artificial Intelligence, and
• the German Standardization Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence.
• The Joint Technical Committee, whose Secretariat is held by DS, the Danish
Standardization Body,
• is responsible for the development and adoption of standards for AI and
related data,
• as well as provide guidance to other Technical Committees concerned with
AI.
16. CEN-CLC/JTC 21 IDENTIFIES AND ADOPTS
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ALREADY
AVAILABLE OR UNDER DEVELOPMENT
• ISO/IEC JTC 1 and its subcommittees e.g. SC 42 Artificial
Intelligence.
CEN-CLC/JTC 21 focuses on producing standardization
deliverables
• that address European market and societal needs,
• as well as underpinning EU legislation, policies, principles, and
values.
• Values? Very controversial in JTC21 – Democracy? Human
rights?
17. IT TOOK THE DOT-BOMB CRASH & 9/11
• to get policymakers to seriously engage with cyberlaw regulation
• very loose virtual self regulation of CDA s230 after 1996,
• E-Commerce Directive largely unenforced early after its coming into force in
2002
• The same applies for network neutrality in Europe
• until the telecoms platforms blocked Skype and WhatsApp in 2011
• Glorious moment: KPN Finance Director boasted on an earning call about
blocking WhatsApp
18. CYBERLAW ROLLED INTO NETWORK NEUTRALITY
WITH PHORM & COPYRIGHT POLICING?
• There is a contemporary comparison for
• AI regulation via ethics with
• disinformation and electronic privacy policy,
• all largely unenforced and left to ethical codes of conduct.
• AI Act is intended to pre-empt Germany (and a few others)
adopting regulation?
19. SOME DIFFERENCES EXIST, BUT CYBERLAW AND
BROADBAND POLICY PROVIDE GOOD COMPARISONS
WITH AI POLICY
• because all are broadly General Purpose Technologies
• that must eventually be regulated.
• Note Also #splinternet #netneutrality &
• Chinese/US/EU #magicAI sponsorship.
20. HAS NET NEUTRALITY BEEN PROPERLY ENFORCED IN
EUROPE?
• Except for egregious zero ratings cases in Germany/Hungary and
Netherlands?
• Cases C-854/19, C-5/20, C-34/20
• Regulators hate enforcing it and
• will do almost anything to avoid collecting evidence –
• To suggest it has any influence on fibre networks is…heroic….
• Economists often ignore the reality of
• non-enforced regulation which does not influence investment.

• telecoms industry will try to prevent clear rules that would prohibit a
widespread practice
• that they have adopted in almost every EU country in order to cement their
market position.
• civil society to help finally complete the net neutrality framework in Europe.

• Disinformation in 11 places:
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-
2022-0014_EN.html
31.
32. DSA RECITAL 68: IT IS APPROPRIATE THIS
REGULATION
IDENTIFY CERTAIN AREAS OF CONSIDERATION
FOR SUCH CODES OF CONDUCT
• In particular, risk mitigation measures concerning specific types of illegal
content should be explored via self- and co-regulatory agreements.
• Another area for consideration is the possible negative impacts of systemic
risks on society and democracy, such as disinformation or manipulative and
abusive activities.
• This includes coordinated operations aimed at amplifying information,
including disinformation,
• such as the use of bots or fake accounts for the creation of fake or misleading
information,
33. IN RELATION TO SUCH AREAS, ADHERENCE
TO AND COMPLIANCE WITH A GIVEN CODE
OF CONDUCT
• by a very large online platform (VLOP) may be considered as
• an appropriate risk mitigating measure.
• The refusal without proper explanations by an online
platform
• of the Commission’s invitation to participate
• in the application of such a code of conduct
• could be taken into account, where relevant, when
determining whether the online platform has infringed the
obligations laid down by this Regulation
• This deleted by EParliament with strengthening next Recital
34. (69) THE RULES ON CODES OF CONDUCT UNDER THIS
REGULATION COULD SERVE AS A BASIS FOR ALREADY
ESTABLISHED SELF-REGULATORY EFFORTS AT UNION
LEVEL
• including the Product Safety Pledge, the Memorandum of
Understanding against counterfeit goods, the Code of Conduct
against illegal hate speech
• as well as the Code of practice on disinformation.
• In particular for the latter, the Commission
• will issue guidance for strengthening the Code of practice on
disinformation
• as announced in the European Democracy Action Plan.
35. PARLIAMENT PREFERS MORE REGULATORY
WORDING
• The Commission should also encourage the development of codes of
conduct to facilitate compliance with obligations in areas, such as
protection of minors or short-term rental.
• it is important to ensure consistency with already existing enforcement
mechanisms,
• such as those in the area of electronic communications or media and
• with independent regulatory structures in these fields
• as defined by Union and national law.
36. PMENT ADDS CO-REGULATION CHECK TO
RECITAL 70
• The effectiveness of the codes of conduct should be regularly assessed
• Unlike legislation, codes of conduct are not subject to democratic
scrutiny
• their compliance with fundamental rights is not subject to judicial
review.
• In order to enhance accountability, participation and transparency,
• procedural safeguards for drawing up codes of conduct are needed.
• Before initiating or facilitating the drawing-up or the revision of CoC,
• the Commission may invite where appropriate, the
• Fundamental Rights Agency or European Data Protection Supervisor
37. HOW SOON IS NOW?
AI ACT 2022
• When the 1990s cyberlaw settlement is only now being
unpicked
• via liability reforms in the Digital Services and Digital Markets
Acts,
• Disinformation rumbling into the DSA
• network neutrality barely enforced,
• does that suggest a 20/25 year movement
• towards reforming the AI Act too?
•AI Act 2045?
