1/3 🚨 The EU implementation process has been a hot mess so far 😬

Earlier this week, on 2 February, the AI Act's prohibitions on unacceptably risky systems came into effect.

❌ As we cautioned most recently in our statement with 27 organisations and experts, these prohibitions are already too weak to effectively prioritise over AI companies' profits and protect us from further harms.

But that's not all... 🧵

2/3 ... Member States are now taking advantage of these weak bans to push for dangerous laws at a national level. This includes legalising through Remote Biometric Identification (RBI) systems 🙅‍♂️

3/3 There's also the procedural mess:

❌ delays from the
❌ national implementation delays
❌ code of conduct issues
❌ Commission's interpretative guidelines released AFTER bans already entered into force
❌ no guidelines on the AI system definition yet, which will determine which systems fall under the scope of the bans in the first place.

This is terrible for legal certainty, in addition to the already falling short of civil society demands to put people's rights first.
