Hi all,The whole thing was originally conceptualised in a whitepaper penned by Paul Keller and Felix Reda. I would strongly assume that they will know more about potential consortiums.To be fair, I didn't have much time to properly read through the finalised guidelines before the report went out, so I skipped them. I have now caught up on my reading and to be honest it feels simultaneously overwhelming and underwhelming. A ton of well meant recommendations (as guidelines are non-binding), but it also says that VLOPs are free to come up with other measures to mitigate risks.The recommendations themselves come in several categories:
- reinforcing internal processes (e.g. having a dedicated team and people who are aware of local contexts),
- risk mitigation measures for electoral processes (e.g. pointing users to official election portals, media literacy initiatives, fact-checking labels, demonetisation, recommender systems),
- mitigation measures linked to generative AI (e.g. watermarks, making an effort to ensure AIs are trained on reliable sources, red-teaming exercises),
- cooperation with national authorities, independent experts and civil society organisations,
- specific recommendations for during the election period (put in place an internal incident response mechanism),
- and for after the election period (conduct a post-election review).
I hope this clarifies your question at least partially!Cheers,DimiLe mer. 3 avr. 2024 à 00:28, Luis Villa <luis@lu.is> a écrit :_______________________________________________I like that this 700000 euro grant has several thousand euro worth of lawyer-review-time documents attached to it 😆
Do we have any sense who might be applying to this grant?

===EU Repository of Public Domain and Open Licensed Works=== The European Commission is accepting proposals for a pilot project to build a repository of public domain and open licensed works. There are 700.000 euro allocated to this. One of the ideas for this is to have a database of already identified free content, so online platforms can avoid their systems blocking or deleting it (as is required by the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive).
