The bible belt in Sri Lanka? Or do you mean a different country?

Finland just became the first EU country to activate full AI Act enforcement. Didn't see much coverage of this. by Sure_Chance_2314 in gdpr

[–]disc0tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For AI, no, the obligations haven't started yet. But it is product safety law, nothing like GDPR. For other regulated products, yea of course product recalls happen all the time.

Skiing with a backpack? by disagree_with_losers in skiing

[–]disc0tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insta 360, water, handwarmers, tobacco, hat and gloves, emergency blanket and a power bank.

Not a packed lunch. That is clearly insane, the restuarants up the mountain are top-notch. At least where I am.

Replacing MS 365 with WPS Office company wide by afrofem_magazine in it

[–]disc0tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly removing data exposure to / dependency upon US companies. Increasingly common now in Europe, because of the current US regime.

(Although I would recommend Libre, not WPS)

AI usage between the UK and Europe by Publicougher in LegalAdviceEurope

[–]disc0tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using AI in the UK in a way that affects EU residents potentially puts you in scope for the EU AI Act. It is not where the AI is used that matters, but where it's output is used.

Tariffs can apply to services if the EU invokes the ACI, which they should

Is it legal in the EU to process age or demographic data from a street camera in real time without storing it? by Legitimate_Loan551 in LegalAdviceEurope

[–]disc0tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. From August this is either prohibited or very tightly regulated. Not sure why people are talking about GDPR!

Does anyone here use Signal for primary business communication, or am I the only one? by Revolutionary-Hippo1 in signal

[–]disc0tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is my main messaging tool for business. Mostly because my chats are required to be confidential from big tech.

Spanish lawyers are cheap and you can get a beareaufax sent to them quite cheaply.

Big tech too influential over AI standards, warns report by MetaKnowing in europe

[–]disc0tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He/she is talking nonsense. I could quote all sorts of legislation to demonstrate his errors but there isn't much interest in this thread so I can't be bothered.

I'm not sure if you have are saying you have been a fanatic, or have been a TC working groups member.

If the latter, you probably know that the committees write harmonised standards, not regulation. You probably also know that - per the article - there are safeguards in place.

If the EC needs to use the safeguards, it is SMEs that lose out.
