Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Simplification should not be a guise for deregulation. </p><p>By mistaking transparency and openness for an obstacle, not a driver, of innovation, it would shoot itself in the foot. The new transparency rules for AI and data under the EU’s AI Act may become one of the first casualties of this new impetus to roll back some of the recently adopted requirements for the providers of so-called general-purpose AI (GPAI) models.</p><p>Under the EU’s AI Act, developers of GPAI models — that is, very large AI models such as OpenAI’s GPT or Google’s Gemini models — will soon have to present a “sufficiently detailed” public summary of the data they used to train the models. </p><p>This summary could be a light-touch way to drastically advance transparency around the use of one of AI’s most precious inputs, data at little additional cost to developers. </p><p>But if the EU’s AI Office gives in to industry pressure to water down the level of detail, this summary will turn into a performative checkbox exercise that ultimately offers little value to anyone. This would be misguided and short-sighted."</p><p><a href="https://euobserver.com/Digital/ara7bbd63b?utm_source=EUobserver+Newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=9f48e6cc56-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2025_04_17_05_23&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_8f318ca8da-9f48e6cc56-114913537" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">euobserver.com/Digital/ara7bbd</span><span class="invisible">63b?utm_source=EUobserver+Newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=9f48e6cc56-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2025_04_17_05_23&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_8f318ca8da-9f48e6cc56-114913537</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIAct</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GPAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GPAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITransparency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AITransparency</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Deregulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deregulation</span></a></p>
