What is AI Governance and why does it matter?

AI governance isn’t just about compliance. It’s about setting direction, making accountable decisions, and ensuring AI initiatives are safe, ethical, and effective.

We’ve broken it down in our latest explainer. Thanks to NotebookLM, now also available in an accessible, high-quality audio version 🎧 to help more people engage with this critical topic, anytime, anywhere.

The European Commission unveiled its AI continent action plan to boost Europe's AI capabilities. Key areas:
1) Large-scale AI computing infrastructure
2) Access to high-quality data
3) AI in strategic sectors
4) AI skills and talents
5) Simplifying the implementation of the #AIAct

On point 5, the Commission is launching an AI Act Service Desk and identifying measures “to facilitate a smooth, streamlined and simple application of the AI Act”.

@elementary tl;dr I support your objectives, and kudos on the goal, but I think you should monitor this new policy for unexpected negative outcomes. I take about 9k characters to explain why, but I’m not criticizing your intent.

While I am much more pragmatic about my stance on #aicoding this was previously a long-running issue of contention on the #StackExchange network that was never really effectively resolved outside of a few clearly egregious cases.

The triple-net is that when it comes to certain parts of software—think of the SCO copyright trials over header files from a few decades back—in many cases, obvious code will be, well…obvious. That “the simplest thing that could possibly work” was produced by an AI instead of a person is difficult to prove using existing tools, and false accusations of plagiarism have been a huge problem that has caused a number of people real #reputationalharm over the last couple of years.

That said, I don’t disagree with the stance that #vibecoding is not worth the pixels that it takes up on a screen. From a more pragmatic standpoint, though, it may be more useful to address the underlying principle that #plagiarism is unacceptable from a community standards or copyright perspective rather than making it a tool-specific policy issue.

I’m a firm believer that people have the right to run their community projects in whatever way best serves their community members. I’m only pointing out the pragmatic issues of setting forth a policy where the likelihood of false positives is quite high, and the level of pragmatic enforceability may be quite low. That is something that could lead to reputational harm to people and the project, or to community in-fighting down the road, when the real policy you’re promoting (as I understand it) is just a fundamental expectation of “original human contributions” to the project.

Because I work in #riskmanagement and #cybersecurity I see this a lot. This is an issue that comes up more often than you might think. Again, I fully support your objectives, but just wanted to offer an alternative viewpoint that your project might want to revisit down the road if the current policy doesn’t achieve the results that you’re hoping for.

In the meantime, I certainly wish you every possible success! You’re taking a #thoughtleadership stance on an important #AIgovernance policy issue that is important to society and to #FOSS right now. I think that’s terrific!

Emphasizing human oversight and ethics ensures technology serves human flourishing. Consciousness, as the observer, reminds us technology must remain aligned with human values
