è uscito il <REPORT on intellectual property rights for the development of artificial intelligence technologies> (2020/2015(INI)) – A9-0176/2020 del 2 ottobre 2020, approvato dal Parlamento UE (Commissione on Legal Affairs-relatore Stéphane Séjourné).
Non ci sono grandi novità : ripercorre le principali preoccupazioni e/o esigenze, che chi si interessa di AI è ormai abituato a leggere.
Riporto alcuni passi dalla MOTION FOR A EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT RESOLUTION, p. 3 ss:
- nota che i documenti della Commissione dello scorso anno sul tema dell’AI (v. mio post 20.02.2020) non tenevano conto della PI: <notes, however, that the issue of the protection of IPRs in the context of the development of AI and related technologies has not been addressed by the Commission, despite the key importance of these rights;>, § 1, p. 6.
- eventuale legislazione dovrà essere tramite regolamento , non direttiva, § 3.
- sullo streaming rileva <the importance of streaming services being transparent and responsible in their use of algorithms, so that access to cultural and creative content in various forms and different languages as well as impartial access to European works can be better guaranteed;>, § 8
- raccomanda un approccio settoriale e tipologico per la PI, § \0.
- circa l’attuazione/enforcement, <acknowledges the potential of AI technologies to improve the enforcement of IPRs, notwithstanding the need for human verification and review, especially where legal consequences are concerned>, § 11;
- sui non-personal data ,<is worried about the possibility of mass manipulation of citizens being used to destabilise democracies and calls for increased awareness-raising and media literacy as well as for urgently needed AI technologies to be made available to verify facts and information>, § 18; e osserva che <AI technologies could be useful in the context of IPR enforcement, but would require human review and a guarantee that any AI-driven decision-making systems are fully transparent; stresses that any future AI regime may not circumvent possible requirements for open source technology in public tenders or prevent the interconnectivity of digital services>, § 18, ed ancora: <notes that AI systems are software-based and rely on statistical models, which may include errors; stresses that AI-generated output must not be discriminatory and that one of the most efficient ways of reducing bias in AI systems is to ensure – to the extent possible under Union law – that the maximum amount of non-personal data is available for training purposes and machine learning; calls on the Commission to reflect on the use of public domain data for such purposes>, § 18.
Dal seguente EXPLANATORY STATEMENT, p. 12-13:
- le domande di brevetto relato alla AI presso l’EPO sono più che triplicate in dieci anni;
- AI è usata ad es. per la ricerca dello stato dell’arte;
- rivalutare la PI alla luce dell’AI costituisce una priorità per le UE.
