Hi Luis,
We submitted feedback as Wikimedia (FKAGEU):
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1…
Our main point was to bring attention to ORES with its "feature injection"
functionality and call for similar approaches to public sector AI. Beyond
that we commented that obligations are often attached to "providers" while
it is unclear from the text who they are: the developer, the operator or
the trader of the software? This point was especially important to the
consumer protection organisations as well, so we picked it up from the. We
also took the stance that it wouldn't be bad to know which regulator is
responsible. In this regard we mention the European Data Protection Board,
in alignment with our digital rights partners (and the Board itself).
Currently we are waiting for negotiations to start in the European
Parliament. There is a fight over committee competencies, but MEP Benifei
(IT S&D) will be the rapporteur. We have prepared, together with the FSFE,
a set of amendment proposals we want to pitch to him (probably next month
for tactical reasons). You and everyone else may have a look
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nrmR9PIw2Y_A6Dmic_2NxP_smBWA9XLQ/view?usp=sharing>
and feel free to suggest additional things. We are likely to support
amendments by the consumer protection organisations as well.
I am also keeping a folder
<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13Sqlzvow7jQA5pNu9Bh6nuMc93dAU_rM?usp=sharing>
where some of our main positions and ideas over the years are
chronologically arranged. For tactical purposes this is not on Meta, but it
might be time to move them over. By now I could claim that it is much
harder to find things on Meta than on this mailing list.
Cheers,
Dimi

Hi all,
I have a precise job to be done and decided to check this list for
potential volunteers.
As you may have read, the European Union is the world's first
jurisdiction to propose legislation on artificial intelligence. [1]
Long story short: We want to pitch the idea of mandatory open source for
AI systems used by the government. The current proposal contains lots of
fluffy language on transparency and on how citizens should always know
what's happening. We feel that an actual open source requirement would fit
in here. But we need to have concrete amendment suggestions at hand in
order to seriously pitch it. So I decided to trawl this list for brainpower
:)
Thanks and cheers,
Dimi
