Did you know 💡

📢 that on April 9, 2025, the European hashtagCommission published the so-called “AI Continent” action plan to push the EU as world leader in artificial intelligence (against competition from the US and China) .
Mainly to recalibrate the AI Act towards a more competitive angle. A word analysis of the “AI Continent” action plan has revealed that the word “innovation” appears a stunningly 62 times!
📢 that on July 10, 2025, a General-Purpose AI (hashtagGPAI) hashtagCode of hashtagPractice to the AI Act has been published. Why?
To allow all signatories, and mainly hashtagBigTech, to benefit from an “hashtagpresumption of hashtagcompliance” to the AI Act. By signing all AI players commit bona fide to respecting hashtagcopyright, hashtagtransparency and hashtagsecurity in the development of their models.
hashtagXAi from hashtagMusk partially signed and hashtagMeta refused to sign, explaining that Europe is currently on the wrong track. Funny 🤡, from a company (ex hashtagFacebook) that was behind hashtagCambridge hashtagAnalytica, the biggest data theft scandal — and a company (hashtagFacebook again) dubbed a “digital gangster” in the report “Disinformation and ‘Fake News’” by The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee (2019).
📢 So why did they all (hashtagOpenAI, hashtagMicrosoft, hashtagAnthropic, hashtagGoogle, hashtagMistralAI, hashtagIBM, hashtagHumaneTechnology, hashtagAmazon) eagerly sign?
Simply because signatories to the hashtagCode or harmonised (technical) hashtagstandards will have ‼️‼️‼️ 1 year’s reprieve‼️‼️‼️ before incurring penalties for non-compliance with the AI Act.
Meaning they benefit from a “presumption of compliance” that their systems comply with the AI Act, while still being in flagrant violation in practice.
