Civil society urges stronger EU AI Act protections

(DigWatch) ARTICLE 19, alongside more than 40 civil society organisations, has raised concerns about proposed changes to the European Union AI Act under the so-called AI Omnibus package. The groups argue the revisions could weaken existing protections. According to ARTICLE 19, the proposal risks reducing safeguards for people affected by high-risk AI systems, including areas such as biometric identification and education. The organisations say the changes could leave individuals without adequate protection. – Civil society urges stronger EU AI Act protections | Digital Watch Observatory
