Quantifying Values: The Problem of AI Risk
Link: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
We propose a reference model that treats AI value impacts like proper risk: hazard + exposure + vulnerability + mitigation—and we show how it fits FRIA-style assessments.

This article analyzes the EU's approach to regulatory sandboxes under the AI Act, and how they aim to balance risk mitigation with fostering innovation in #AI development.

We then identify governance challenges across three sandbox phases—pre-testing, testing, and post-testing—and propose structured solutions. 5/
Our article examines the AI Act’s sandbox framework, arguing it shifts from traditional models by emphasising regulatory learning over mere tech disruption, and by broadening public interest goals to include strategically aligned commercial innovations. 4/
Regulatory sandboxes can offer a practical way to address this dilemma by enabling controlled, evidence-based testing of new technologies. 3/
Collingridge called the “dilemma of control” the challenge of regulating emerging technologies: act too early and risk stifling innovation; act too late and potential harms proliferate unchecked. 2/

We found that while many DPAs have some hands-on experience with AI cases, their activity levels vary widely. Still, their growing expertise could play a key role in enforcement, especially if supported by supranational coordination to help the less active authorities.
How ready are DPAs to enforce the AI Act? To find out, we looked at what they’re already doing: their decisions and activities related to AI and automated decision-making across all EU Member States. Thus, we created an index to measure how active they are in this area. 2/

The 'feeling' that X under Musk is a different place than before is quantified in this new study titled 'Substantial Hate'
1️⃣ hate speech up to 50% higher;
2️⃣ hate speech increase persistent;

The Concept of Legal Personhood – What the Mind Reveals about Law, with
@hartpublishing.bsky.social
In this book, I draw on cognitive linguistics to unpack how the concept of legal personhood is structured and works.
3) The AIA does not recognise that vulnerability is an inherent feature of all human-AI interactions, varying based on design choices and modes of interaction
4) We propose to integrate this broader understanding of vulnerability by reinterpreting "specific social situation" in Article 5(b)
