On 8 December, the European Parliament and Council reached a landmark agreement on the rules for using artificial intelligence (AI), including governments' handling of AI in biometric surveillance and how to regulate AI systems such as ChatGPT. The political deal between the European Parliament and the Council came after more than 2 days of negotiations. If, as expected, the agreed text is formally adopted by both the Parliament and Council to become EU law, the EU will become the first major world ...

Das Europäische Parlament soll über eine Trilogvereinbarung über den Vorschlag für eine Pilotregelung für Marktinfrastrukturen abstimmen, mit der ein System für den Handel und die Abwicklung von Transaktionen mit Finanzinstrumenten in Form von Kryptowerten eingeführt werden soll. Die Regelung folgt dem sogenannten Sandkasten-Ansatz, der vorübergehende Ausnahmen von einigen spezifischen Anforderungen ermöglicht. Auf diese Weise sollte die Entwicklung von Lösungen für den Handel und die Abwicklung ...

In just over a decade, the payment industry has seen the launch of cryptocurrencies and their explosive growth, driven by progress in digital technology applications. However, owing to a range of factors, not least their significant volatility, cryptocurrencies have not been adopted on a massive scale, but instead are used largely for speculative purposes. Both national authorities and the private sector have attempted to tackle volatility. The private sector's answer was stablecoins, that is, cryptocurrencies ...

This study explores the prospects of aligning citizens' behaviour with the objectives of the European Green Deal in the domains of food consumption and mobility. Creating a climate-neutral and resource-efficient European economy requires a deep transformation of energy, mobility and food systems, as well as a change in production and consumption practices. Such profound change will impact both individuals and society. At the same time, the transition to sustainability will not succeed if people do ...

This paper shows that larger banks and better capitalised banks invest more in computer software. These findings could reflect that larger banks can attain greater benefits from computer software and that better capitalised banks have more resources to make larger software investments. All the same, smaller and less capitalised banks will also have to make substantial software investments to maintain sustainable businesses, something that supervisors will need to point that out to these banks.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a tool of power politics, and an element of state diplomacy. The European Union, however, approaches AI primarily from an economic, social, and regulatory angle. This paper discusses the way that AI impacts the European Union’s geopolitical power, and its relationship with other countries. It presents possible scenarios for how AI may change the international balance of power and recommends ways for the EU and its members to respond.

Artificial intelligence (AI) policy debates are replete with metaphors. Even the term ‘AI’ relies upon a metaphor for the human quality of intelligence, and its development is regularly described as a ‘race’. While metaphors are useful in highlighting some features of their subject, they are so powerful that it can be difficult to imagine or discuss their subject in other terms. Here, we explore some challenges presented by the central metaphor of ‘intelligence’, examine how AI metaphors emphasise ...

Durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung ist die öffentliche Verwaltung auf europäischer und auf nationaler Ebene auf digitale Technologien als Mittel zur Durchführung ihrer Kerntätigkeit angewiesen – ein Prozess, der durch die Pandemie noch beschleunigt wurde. Dieser zunehmende Einsatz digitaler Technologien ist zwar vorteilhaft, erhöht aber auch das Risiko von Cyberangriffen, und wichtige Institutionen auf europäischer und auf nationaler Ebene waren kürzlich Ziel von Cyberangriffen. Während der Juni-I-Plenartagung ...

Das Zertifikat enthält einen Impfnachweis, Ergebnisse von vor Kurzem durchgeführten COVID-19-Tests bzw. Angaben über die Bildung von Antikörpern. Das Europäische ...
