That doesn't seem obvious to me. Would you mind elaborating?

#5What I don't see here is how the EU is actually defining what is and is not considered AI.

That can be a hugely broad category that covers any algorithmic feed or advertising platform.
Or is this limited specifically to LLMs, as OpenAI has so successfully convinced us that LLMs really are Aai and previous ML tools weren't?

…
what follows is a list of some pretty nasty and insidious use cases.
it’s not “AI is completely banned”, it’s “consider the use cases you are working on responsibly”. only for those specific use cases, mind you.
for all other use cases not in the list, which is a significantly larger subset of development, just ensure you do the required safety/regulatory sign off work.
just like when we get our SaaS webapps evaluated for compliance to security standards, its just a box ticking exercise for the most part.

the actual text in the ~act~ guidance states:
> Exploitation of vulnerabilities of persons, manipulation and use of subliminal techniques
techcrunch simplified it.
from my reading, it counts if you are intentionally setting out to build a system to manipulate or deceive people.
edit — here’s the actual text from the act, which makes more clear it’s about whether the deception is purposefully intended for malicious reasons
> the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of an AI system that deploys subliminal techniques beyond a person’s consciousness or purposefully manipulative or deceptive techniques, with the objective, or the effect of materially distorting the behaviour of a person or a group of persons by appreciably impairing their ability to make an informed decision, thereby causing them to take a decision that they would not have otherwise taken in a manner that causes or is reasonably likely to cause that person, another person or group of persons significant harm

I actually like it, moving to EU is currently my back-up plan when “great advances in AI” renders the rest of the world to make people loose jobs, give up privacy and overall make dystopian future a present. I’ll be happily coding my boilerplate code by hand, enjoying my boring life without AI.
