Miguel Afonso Caetano"The guidelines appear designed to be both conservative and business-friendly simultaneously, leaving the risk that we have no clear rules on which systems are caught. The examples at 5.2 of systems that could fall out of scope may be welcome – as noted, the reference to linear and logistic regression could be welcome for those involved in underwriting life and health insurance or assessing consumer credit risk. However, the guidelines will not be binding even when in final form and it is difficult to predict how market surveillance authorities and courts will apply them.In terms of what triage and assessment in an AI governance programme is likely to look like as a result, there is some scope to triage out tools that will not be AI systems, but the focus will need to be on whether the AI Act obligations would apply to tools:"<a href="https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2025/02/the-commissions-guidelines-on-ai-systems-what-can-we-infer/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2025/02/the-commissions-guidelines-on-ai-systems-what-can-we-infer/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EC</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIAct</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataProtection</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIGovernance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIGovernance</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Brussels is reassessing its investigations of tech giants including Apple, Meta and Google, just as the US groups urge president-elect Donald Trump to intervene against what they characterise as overzealous EU enforcement.The review, which could lead to the European Commission scaling back or changing the remit of the probes, will cover all cases launched since March last year under the EU’s digital markets regulations, according to two officials briefed on the move.It comes as the Brussels body begins a new five-year term amid mounting pressure over its handling of the landmark cases and as Trump prepares to return to the White House next week.“It’s going to be a whole new ballgame with these tech oligarchs so close to Trump and using that to pressurise us,” said a senior EU diplomat briefed on the review. “So much is up in the air right now.”All decisions and potential fines will be paused while the review is completed, but technical work on the cases will continue, the officials said."<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2c1b6bfd-ce73-451d-8123-0df964266ae8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ft.com/content/2c1b6bfd-ce73-451d-8123-0df964266ae8</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EC</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Antitrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antitrust</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Monopolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monopolies</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Oligopolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oligopolies</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"European Commission officials fear that their heavy reliance on Microsoft constitutes a clear breach of EU data rules, according to internal Commission documents seen by Euractiv, which contradict the executive’s public statements on the matter.The concerns are focused on the Commission’s use of Microsoft365 as its digital workspace, which has raised security and privacy concerns among some in the executive. The EU's data protection watchdog, the EDPS, has ordered the Commission to bring its Microsoft use into compliance. This implies exploring less intrusive alternatives than Microsoft, but little has been done in this regard.The case offers a stark example of the chasm between Europe’s desire for autonomy in highly sensitive areas such as IT, and the on-the-ground reality of its dependence on American tech.“There are no known credible offerings from European providers,” reads an internal Commission document seen by Euractiv.French authorities, in particular, expressed concern about “the potential risks associated with the use of US-based solutions," the note adds."<a href="https://www.euractiv.com/section/tech/news/internal-documents-reveal-commission-fears-over-microsoft-dependency/?mkt_tok=MTM4LUVaTS0wNDIAAAGX7Zwx5qbxNlB8d6JQgib4XPm1mNzNnas36i_LDBU9AYt7kibpu_rcFNJrmBHOiSRx5nkk_LWNUvRyE491GsLyCxkqgkHhdBYTJNibunC0Mt0u" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.euractiv.com/section/tech/news/internal-documents-reveal-commission-fears-over-microsoft-dependency/?mkt_tok=MTM4LUVaTS0wNDIAAAGX7Zwx5qbxNlB8d6JQgib4XPm1mNzNnas36i_LDBU9AYt7kibpu_rcFNJrmBHOiSRx5nkk_LWNUvRyE491GsLyCxkqgkHhdBYTJNibunC0Mt0u</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EC</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Monopolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monopolies</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalSovereignty</a>
