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."

Who wants to go cashless if you could pay with Design D, F or J in the near future? :) Take the survey and tell the European Central Bank about your favourite! #ThanksEU https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/html/design-proposals.en.html

#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

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

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
