This article discusses the need for #regulation of #robots and #ai in #europe, focusing on the issue of #civil #liability. Despite multiple attempts to harmonize #eu#tort #law, only the liability of producers for defective products has been successfully harmonized so far. The #aiact, published by the #europeancommission in 2021, aims to #regulate AI at the European level by classifying #smartrobots as "high risk systems", but does not address liability rules. This article explores liability issues related to AI and robots, particularly when using #deeplearning #machinelearning techniques that challenge the traditional liability paradigm.

"... this paper argues that recent #eu#regulatory reform to #corporategovernance, as a means to improve #financialstability is a large-scale intellectual fallacy. Absent EU-wide structural reform to control #risktaking in large and complex #financialinstitutions, the stability of the EU #bankingsector will remain compromised. Smaller and less interconnected #banks will both improve bank corporate governance and create a safer and more stable #financialsector."

This paper advocates for the use of #sandbox#regulation to complement a strict #liabilityregime in regulating #artificialintelligence (#ai). The #eu#regulators have already embraced this concept.

The paper discusses the risks posed by #artificialintelligence (#ai) systems, from biased lending algorithms to chatbots that spew violent #hatespeech. The author argues that policymakers have a responsibility to consider broader, longer-term #risks from #aitechnology, such as #systemicrisk and the potential for misuse. While #regulatory proposals like the #eu #aiact and the #whitehouse AI Bill of Rights focus on immediate risks, they do not fully address the need for #algorithmicpreparedness. It proposes a roadmap for algorithmic preparedness, which includes five forward-looking principles to guide the development of regulations that confront the prospect of algorithmic black swans and mitigate the harms they pose to society. This approach is particularly important for general purpose systems like #chatgpt, which can be used for a wide range of applications, including ones that may have unintended consequences. The article emphasizes the need for #governance and #regulation to ensure that #aisystems are developed and used in ways that minimize risk and maximize benefit, and it references the #nist AI #riskmanagement Framework as a potential tool for achieving this goal.

This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Open Loop's policy prototyping program on the #eu#artificialintelligence Act (#aia ), which involved 53 AI companies participating in an online platform to provide feedback on selected articles of the AIA. While the majority of the participants found the provisions to be clear and feasible, there were areas for improvement to ensure the effectiveness of the AIA. The report provides the legislator with nine recommendations, including revising the taxonomy of AI actors, providing guidance on #riskassessment, concrete guidance for technical documentation and #dataquality requirements, ensuring qualified staff for human oversight of AI, and maximizing the potential of #regulatorysandboxes.

Proposes a set of novel modeling mechanisms to regulate the size of banks' macroprudential capital buffers by using market-based estimates of systemic risk combined with a structural framework for credit risk assessment. It applies the model to the European banking sector and finds differences with the capital buffers currently assigned by national regulators, which have substantial implications for systemic risk in the EEA.

"Insights from scenario analysis may help inform the use of ‘hard’ macroprudential tools to foster the robustness and resilience of the banking system against climate-induced shocks. Against the backdrop of the ongoing reform of the EU’s macroprudential framework, the paper explores how the macroprudential toolkit could be adjusted to the reality of climate-related financial risks."

"The EU, France, and Germany, among other jurisdictions, have recently adopted laws requiring large businesses to conduct human rights due diligence (HRDD) in their supply chains."

"... the AI Act risks delivering insufficient levels of both product safety or fundamental rights protection."

" We focus on German banks and measure their exposure to climate risk using CO2 emissions reported for German firms in the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). ... Overall, our approach accounts for 61.25% of the German emissions covered under the EU ETS. We document that only 19 German banks concentrate 95.88% of the total CO2 emissions in their portfolios. "
