TIL (Today I learned): As part of the EU AI Act transparency rules, the EU has created a Code of Practice on marking and labelling of AI-generated content [1] that comes with icons [2] to use to mark AI-generated or modified content. As they say: "The use of these EU icons is optional, but the labelling requirements under Article 50 AI Act are not."

#Oops. #OpenAI has lost its fight to register their trademark „OPENAI“ in the EU: „The EUIPO found that the word "open" would be understood by the relevant public as meaning freely accessible, while the combination with "AI" (artificial intelligence) would be interpreted as referring to products based on openly accessible artificial intelligence.“ https://dpa-international.com/economics/urn:newsml:dpa.com:20090101:260715-930-389143/ #ThanksEU

  • Next Monday, Moldova and Ukraine formally begin negotiations to become EU member.
  • The EU parliament was successful in defending passenger rights against the lobbying of airlines
  • EU Court of Justice judgment: Banking services — inclusion on a United States sanctions list is not sufficient, on its own, for a refusal to open an account.

Ah, yes. #ThanksEU :) "Apple was simply unable to develop interoperability solutions that meet essential EU privacy and ‌security standards," ⁠EU Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said. "Instead of trying to find a suitable compliance solution, Apple simply made a request to the European Commission to be exempted from their interoperability obligations under the DMA - and this for at least 18 months. That's not an option." https://www.reuters.com/business/apple-failed-make-its-ai-tool-comply-eu-regulations-eu-commission-says-2026-06-09/ #Apple #DMA #SiriAI

Gar keine schlechte Idee. Werbung für die EU in der Kneipe mit Bierdeckel. Der Link geht zu https://europa.eu/de/demokratie (Ich bereite mich dann schon mal auf die "Ja, aber" Antworten vor die sagen werden das man sehr wohl auch hier für Volksverhetzung etc bestraft werden kann.) #ThanksEU

In varietate concordia [1] 12 stars that mean the world to me. An ongoing experiment to create and maintain a transnational union of different countries, cultures and expectations. Always on the move, full of lessons learned from mistakes made. Far from perfect, but also far from being a failure. A continouous demand on all of us to make things better and to overcome the nay-sayers that focus on problems, not solutions. #ThanksEU 1/2 [1] https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/symbols/eu-motto_en #EuropeDay
