EUROPIONNERS, 2006 EU HUB!*Pour que l'Europe, en tant qu’acteur mondial, ne soit pas lointaine des européens.
*Devise:"In varietate concordia"(latin: Unie dans la diversité).*Unie dans la diversité: l'Union Européenne (UE) se compose de 27 pays européens qui partagent les mêmes valeurs démocratiques et se sont engagés à travailler ensemble pour la paix et la prospérité. Il ne s'agit pas d'un Etat destiné à se substituer aux Etats existants. En fait, c'est une organisation unique en son genre!
Online platforms will soon be required to remove terrorist content reported by national authorities within an hour.
The new regulation has been definitively adopted by the European Parliament!
Pronto se requerirá que las plataformas en línea eliminen el contenido terrorista denunciado por las autoridades nacionales en el plazo de una hora.
¡El nuevo reglamento ha sido adoptado definitivamente por el Parlamento Europeo!
Les plateformes en ligne auront bientôt l'obligation de retirer en moins d'une heure les contenus à caractère terroriste signalés par les autorités nationales.
Le nouveau règlement a été adopté définitivement par le Parlement Européen!
La Commission se félicite de l’adoption de règles de l’UE :
sur la suppression des contenus à caractère terroriste en ligne.
La Commission se félicite de l’adoption finale des règles de l’UE relatives à la prévention de la diffusion de contenus à caractère terroriste en ligne, à la suite du feu vert du Parlement européen hier. Les nouvelles règles garantiront que les plateformes en ligne s’occupent de manière proactive de l’utilisation abusive de leurs services à des fins de diffusion de contenus à caractère terroriste en ligne. Les plateformes devront supprimer les contenus à caractère terroriste signalés par les autorités des États membres dans un délai maximal d'une heure. Les règles contribueront également à lutter contre la propagation d’idéologies extrémistes en ligne, un élément essentiel de la prévention des attaques et de la lutte contre la radicalisation. Le règlement prévoit des garanties solides pour assurer le plein respect des droits fondamentaux tels que la liberté d’expression et d’information.
Margaritis Schinas, vice-président chargé de la promotion de notre mode de vie européen, a déclaré : « Les contenus à caractère terroriste en ligne peuvent motiver de nouvelles attaques, radicaliser les personnes et contribuer à la diffusion d’informations techniques dangereuses ayant des conséquences mortelles. Avec les règles adoptées aujourd’hui, nous définissons clairement les responsabilités qui incombent aux États membres et aux fournisseurs de services pour mettre fin à la circulation de contenus à caractère terroriste sur internet. Ceci est un accord historique. L’Union de la sécurité devient une réalité. »
« La conclusion des négociations sur cette loi a été l’une de mes priorités dès le 1er jour. Le droit européen empêchera désormais les terroristes d’utiliser internet pour diffuser leurs messages avec l'intention d'intimider, de radicaliser, de recruter et de nuire à nos sociétés. Nous disposons de règles claires et transparentes pour faire en sorte que les contenus à caractère terroriste soient retirés le plus tôt et le plus rapidement possible, que les contenus supprimés ne soient pas de nouveau téléchargés ailleurs et que les gens puissent se sentir en sécurité en ligne », ajoute la commissaire chargée des affaires intérieures, Ylva Johansson.
Le règlement va maintenant être publié au Journal officiel de l’UE et commencera à s’appliquer à partir de la mi-2022.
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere and in Europe we want to become a hotbed of excellence in AI technology.
The EU has already helped hundreds of projects using AI to kickstart their research thanks to EU funding. The results? Diagnosing cancer is now faster and more accurate. Spotting fake news is easier. The buildings and structures around us are becoming more secure. Farms produce better quality food and our eating habits can become healthier. The impact of disabilities is reduced and transport is becoming safer. We have a better understanding of the human brain and of everything that surrounds us.
Artificial Intelligence – Evolution dance.
Une Europe adaptée à l'ère du numérique: La Commission propose de nouvelles règles et actions en faveur de l'excellence et de la confiance dans l'intelligence artificielle.
Europe fit for the Digital Age: Commission proposes new rules and actions for excellence and trust in Artificial Intelligence.
The Commission proposes today new rules and actions aiming to turn Europe into the global hub for trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI). The combination of the first-ever legal framework on AIand a newCoordinated Plan with Member Stateswill guarantee the safety and fundamental rights of people and businesses, while strengthening AI uptake, investment and innovation across the EU. New rules onMachinerywill complement this approach by adapting safety rules to increase users' trust in the new, versatile generation of products.
Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President for a Europe fit for the Digital Age, said: “On Artificial Intelligence, trust is a must, not a nice to have. With these landmark rules, the EU is spearheading the development of new global norms to make sure AI can be trusted. By setting the standards, we can pave the way to ethical technology worldwide and ensure that the EU remains competitive along the way. Future-proof and innovation-friendly, our rules will intervene where strictly needed: when the safety and fundamental rights of EU citizens are at stake.”
Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton said: “AI is a means, not an end. It has been around for decades but has reached new capacities fueled by computing power. This offers immense potential in areas as diverse as health, transport, energy, agriculture, tourism or cyber security. It also presents a number of risks. Today's proposals aim to strengthen Europe's position as a global hub of excellence in AI from the lab to the market, ensure that AI in Europe respects our values and rules, and harness the potential of AI for industrial use.”
The new AI regulation will make sure that Europeans can trust what AI has to offer. Proportionate and flexible rules will address the specific risks posed by AI systems and set the highest standard worldwide. The Coordinated Plan outlines the necessary policy changes and investment at Member States level to strengthen Europe's leading position in the development of human-centric, sustainable, secure, inclusive and trustworthy AI.
The European approach to trustworthy AI
The new rules will be applied directly in the same way across all Member States based on a future-proof definition of AI. They follow a risk-based approach:
Unacceptable risk: AI systems considered a clear threat to the safety, livelihoods and rights of people will be banned. This includes AI systems or applications that manipulate human behaviour to circumvent users' free will (e.g. toys using voice assistance encouraging dangerous behaviour of minors) and systems that allow ‘social scoring' by governments.
High-risk: AI systems identified as high-risk include AI technology used in:
Critical infrastructures (e.g. transport), that could put the life and health of citizens at risk;
Educational or vocational training, that may determine the access to education and professional course of someone's life (e.g. scoring of exams);
Safety components of products (e.g. AI application in robot-assisted surgery);
Employment, workers management and access to self-employment (e.g. CV-sorting software for recruitment procedures);
Essential private and public services (e.g. credit scoring denying citizens opportunity to obtain a loan);
Law enforcement that may interfere with people's fundamental rights (e.g. evaluation of the reliability of evidence);
Migration, asylum and border controlmanagement (e.g. verification of authenticity of travel documents);
Administration of justice and democratic processes (e.g. applying the law to a concrete set of facts).
High-risk AI systems will be subject to strict obligations before they can be put on the market:
Adequate risk assessment and mitigation systems;
High quality of the datasets feeding the system to minimise risks and discriminatory outcomes;
Logging of activity to ensure traceability of results;
Detailed documentation providing all information necessary on the system and its purpose for authorities to assess its compliance;
Clear and adequate information to the user;
Appropriate human oversight measures to minimise risk;
High level of robustness, security and accuracy.
In particular, all remote biometric identification systems are considered high risk and subject to strict requirements. Their live use in publicly accessible spaces for law enforcement purposes is prohibited in principle. Narrow exceptions are strictly defined and regulated (such as where strictly necessary to search for a missing child, to prevent a specific and imminent terrorist threat or to detect, locate, identify or prosecute a perpetrator or suspect of a serious criminal offence). Such use is subject to authorisation by a judicial or other independent body and to appropriate limits in time, geographic reach and the data bases searched.
Limited risk, i.e. AI systems with specific transparency obligations: When using AI systems such as chatbots, users should be aware that they are interacting with a machine so they can take an informed decision to continue or step back.
Minimal risk: The legal proposal allows the free use of applications such as AI-enabled video games or spam filters. The vast majority of AI systems fall into this category. The draft Regulation does not intervene here, as these AI systems represent only minimal or no risk for citizens' rights or safety.
In terms of governance, the Commission proposes that national competent market surveillance authorities supervise the new rules, while the creation of a European Artificial Intelligence Board will facilitate their implementation, as well as drive the development of standards for AI. Additionally, voluntary codes of conduct are proposed for non-high-risk AI, as well as regulatory sandboxes to facilitate responsible innovation.
The European approach to excellence in AI
Coordination will strengthen Europe's leading position in human-centric, sustainable, secure, inclusive and trustworthy AI. To remain globally competitive, the Commission is committed to fostering innovation in AI technology development and use across all industries, in all Member States.
First published in 2018 to define actions and funding instruments for the development and uptake of AI, the Coordinated Plan on AI enabled a vibrant landscape of national strategies and EU funding for public-private partnerships and research and innovation networks. The comprehensive update of the Coordinated Plan proposes concrete joint actions for collaboration to ensure all efforts are aligned with the European Strategy on AI and the European Green Deal, while taking into account new challenges brought by the coronavirus pandemic. It puts forward a vision to accelerate investments in AI, which can benefit the recovery. It also aims to spur the implementation of national AI strategies, remove fragmentation, and address global challenges.
The updated Coordinated Plan will use funding allocated through the Digital Europe and Horizon Europe programmes, as well as the Recovery and Resilience Facility that foresees a 20% digital expenditure target, and Cohesion Policy programmes, to:
Create enabling conditions for AI's development and uptake through the exchange of policy insights, data sharing and investment in critical computing capacities;
Foster AI excellence ‘from the lab to the market' by setting up a public-private partnership, building and mobilising research, development and innovation capacities, and making testing and experimentation facilities as well as digital innovation hubs available to SMEs and public administrations;
Ensure that AI works for people and is a force for good in society by being at the forefront of the development and deployment of trustworthy AI, nurturing talents and skills by supporting traineeships, doctoral networks and postdoctoral fellowships in digital areas, integrating Trust into AI policies and promoting the European vision of sustainable and trustworthy AI globally;
Build strategic leadership in high-impact sectors and technologies including environment by focusing on AI's contribution to sustainable production, health by expanding the cross-border exchange of information, as well as the public sector, mobility, home affairs and agriculture, and Robotics.
The European approach to new machinery products
Machinery products cover an extensive range of consumer and professional products, from robots to lawnmowers, 3D printers, construction machines, industrial production lines. The Machinery Directive, replaced by the new Machinery Regulation, defined health and safety requirements for machinery. This new Machinery Regulation will ensure that the new generation of machinery guarantees the safety of users and consumers, and encourages innovation. While the AI Regulation will address the safety risks of AI systems, the new Machinery Regulation will ensure the safe integration of the AI system into the overall machinery. Businesses will need to perform only one single conformity assessment.
Additionally, the new Machinery Regulation will respond to the market needs by bringing greater legal clarity to the current provisions, simplifying the administrative burden and costs for companies by allowing digital formats for documentation and adapting conformity assessment fees for SMEs, while ensuring coherence with the EU legislative framework for products.
Next steps
The European Parliament and the Member States will need to adopt the Commission's proposals on a European approach for Artificial Intelligence and on Machinery Products in the ordinary legislative procedure. Once adopted, the Regulations will be directly applicable across the EU. In parallel, the Commission will continue to collaborate with Member States to implement the actions announced in the Coordinated Plan.
Background
For years, the Commission has been facilitating and enhancing cooperation on AI across the EU to boost its competitiveness and ensure trust based on EU values.
Following the publication of the European Strategy on AI in 2018 and after extensive stakeholder consultation, the High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence (HLEG) developed Guidelines for Trustworthy AI in 2019, and an Assessment List for Trustworthy AI in 2020. In parallel, the first Coordinated Plan on AI was published in December 2018 as a joint commitment with Member States.
The European Commission’s approach on Artificial Intelligence centres around excellence and trust. It aims to boost the EU's research and industrial capacity.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of strategic importance and a key driver of economic development. It can bring solutions to many societal challenges from treating diseases to minimising the environmental impact of farming. However, there are socio-economic, legal and ethical impacts of AI that have to be carefully addressed.

@MichelBarnier
« Au delà du Brexit et en en tirant les leçons, il y a l’urgence d’un nouveau départ pour l’Union européenne...santé, relance, numérique, social, migrations, géopolitique.
Priorité 1 : agir face aux risques pour notre santé (en tirant les leçons de la crise sanitaire) et notre environnement (consacrer plus de moyens à la transition écologique en stimulant la recherche).
Priorité 2 : la relance économique avec de nouvelles ressources propres, de nouvelles règles budgétaires « la relance ne sera durable que si elle repose sur des bases solides, et notamment une réelle stabilité financière.
Priorité 3 : relever le défi technologique et numérique notamment avec un fonds européen de souveraineté technologique.
Priorité 4 :plus de justice sociale. « La relance doit profiter à tous les territoires . Il doit aussi bénéficier à tous les citoyens, et d’abord aux plus jeunes, avec un Erasmus professionnel et de nouvelles universités européennes.
Priorité 5 : Maîtriser les migrations, mieux contrôler nos frontières extérieures, remettre à plat le droit d’asile et mettre en place une nouvelle politique d’immigration légale. La blue card devrait fonctionner comme un permis de séjour.
Priorité 6 : L’Europe doit s’affirmer résolument sur une scène internationale en pleine recomposition. Reconnecter notre culture de moyens avec la culture du résultat.
Il faut en finir avec une certaine naïveté européenne dans nos échanges internationaux.
Si nous ne voulons pas que l’avenir de nos enfants ou de nos petits-enfants se décide à Washington ou Pékin...Nous devons prendre notre destin en main et peser de tout le poids de la France pour remettre l’Europe dans le bon sens. »@MichelBarnier
