💡DOT Europe disconcerted by vote on the #EMFA

“This vote is a stark departure from previous positions adopted by the European Parliament and will make it more difficult for online platforms to effectively moderate harmful content, including disinformation.”

❗DOT Europe joins 14 other organisations calling on the @eu2023es and the European Parliament to maintain the AI Act’s risk-based approach and strike the right balance between trust and innovation in AI.

The European Parliament has the chance to build upon the proposal with much needed clarifications on key concepts and ensure the regime remains both effective and balanced

Interesting and timely research which also showcases the potential for researcher - industry collaboration.
Looking forward to reading future similar research and these working as catalysts for discussion.

New regulations targeting online platforms should not be at the cost of the #DSA .
💡This horizontal framework legislation is desperately needed to safeguard the internal market.
▶️We should streamline legislation to make it workable across the single market.

Wishing you all a relaxing summer break!
