Together these regulations set out comprehensive obligations on the use of generative AI and algorithmic recommendation services in the PRC.\u0000The obligations include general requirements such as to comply with the law and principles of fairness as well as to protect against incorrect political direction and violation of social morality.\u0000There are also more specific obligations to achieve those objectives. These include, ensuring the regulator has visibility of certain algorithms by requiring the filing of information about the relevant algorithms. Further there are specific obligations on service providers such as to label training data appropriately, take measures to screen illegal or harmful content, verify the identities of users for some services, protect against fake news and label artificial intelligence generated content as synthetic.\u0000The regulations also provide a suite of rights for users, including the right not to be targeted on the basis of their personal characteristics by services using AI algorithms.\u0000The obligations under these regulations are significant and it will be interesting to see how the PRC’s regulatory approach impacts the AI industry in the PRC in contrast to other jurisdictions where regulators are still looking at how to regulate AI or taking a different approach.\u0000PRC, China, Artificial Intelligence, AI Regulations","PeriodicalId":495313,"journal":{"name":"Global privacy law review","volume":"33 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140276829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In December 2023, the Council and the Parliament reached a political agreement on the EU’s new Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). The AI Act follows a risk-based approach and aims to ensure that AI systems placed on or used in the EU market are safe and respect fundamental rights. The AI Act is expected to become a model for AI governance worldwide in a similar way that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has influenced data protection regulation beyond European borders. While technical negotiations on the final text are ongoing and the final wording of the provisional agreement is not yet public, this article aims at providing a detailed overview and analysis of the upcoming provisions and requirements of the AI Act based on public (and some non-public) reports and press releases on the political agreement reached by the Council and the Parliament.\u0000AI Act, EU, Artificial Intelligence, AI, AI Systems, High-Risk, General Purpose, GPAI, Generative AI, Foundation Models, ChatGPT","PeriodicalId":495313,"journal":{"name":"Global privacy law review","volume":"52 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140273087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not only did the virus spread, but technological advancement was also taking place: tracking ill people allowed for a semblance of normal social life to continue, despite the pandemic lockdown. One of the main consequences of the pandemic was the implementation of a large-scale video-surveillance system. This article examines, from a legal perspective, the relationship between video-surveillance activity and citizens’ rights, and attempts to balance the two sides of the same coin through a comparative analysis. To this end, reference is made to the UK case law and the controversy resolved by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Finally, an empirical approach on this matter is provided by the recent guidelines adopted by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act).\u0000Artificial Intelligence, AI, Video-Surveillance, Automated Facial Recognition, Technology, Human Rights, Privacy, Policing, Rule of Law","PeriodicalId":495313,"journal":{"name":"Global privacy law review","volume":"75 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140271775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first litigations regarding data scraping for training of generative AI systems are starting now. It is therefore relevant reviewing the case Law and regulation regarding data scraping, including the United States (US) Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit in the hiQ v. LinkedIn case. This case reveals the important differences between the US Law and the European Union (EU) (and United Kingdom (UK)) Law under several points of view: criminal law, privacy/data protection law, intellectual property (IP) rights (and sui generis rights), and even law of contracts. The idea that there is no ownership to unprotected, non-personal, publicly available data coincides with some recent EU Member States rulings. Data scraping is not illicit as such (the Google search engine is always scraping, and has been doing so since its creation), but it needs to respect some criminal law restrictions, privacy or data protection obligations, copyright and contractual Law. This article reviews this protection in both the US and the EU/UK and analyses the impact of the existing data scraping case law in the ChatGPT issues and very recent litigations.\u0000Data Scraping, AI, ChatGPT, hiQ v.
