European lawmakers are struggling to agree on new rules for artificial intelligence, with an agreement unlikely before December. The draft AI rules, which include regulations for foundation models and high-risk AI systems, must be approved by the European Parliament and EU member states. Spain, which holds the EU presidency, has proposed compromises to accelerate the process, such as a tiered approach to regulating foundation models with more than 45 million users. But opponents warn that smaller platforms could be just as risky. However, a final agreement is not expected in the upcoming fourth trilogue. A fifth trilogue is scheduled for early December, and failure to reach an agreement could push negotiations into next year, according to Reuters.
Hub AI in practice
Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.
What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.
Qualcomm is set to release its latest flagship mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, designed specifically for generative AI, according to a leaked internal document obtained by mspoweruser.com. The new chip can run AI models with more than 10 billion parameters, according to the document. Meta's Llama 2 is specifically mentioned, running at 20+ tokens/sec. Qualcomm is using Stable Diffusion, which it has previously demonstrated, for generative AI backgrounds. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 might power Samsung's Galaxy S24, due out in February 2024, according to mspoweruser.
