<h1>AI Act and Interoperability+++Router Freedom Survey+++Podcasts, YH4F & Ada </h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> The June issue brings updates on the Interoperable Europe Act and
|
||||
the AI Regulation, and the publication of the conclusions of our
|
||||
European Router Freedom survey. We were invited to two podcast episodes
|
||||
and were the focus of Edri's 'Member of the spotlight'. Check out a
|
||||
study on net neutrality regulation and read a lovely story about Ada
|
||||
arriving to rural India.</p>

|
||||
InteroperableEurope Act </h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In May, the Committee of the Regions
|
||||
failed to recognise the importance that Free Software has for
|
||||
interoperability and thus for digitalisation and innovation while the
|
||||
European Parliament's responsible committees voted by a large majority
|
||||
to protect Free Software in the AI regulation. The Committee of the
|
||||
Regions adopted its opinion on interoperability through the
|
||||
Interoperable Europe Act, failing to substantially improve the original
|
||||
text and bring up more solid and necessary measures on the role of Free
|
||||
Software, forgetting a ’Free Software first’ approach.</p>

EU Parliament wants to protect Free Software in AI regulation </h3>
|

|

<p>
|
||||
The European Parliament's lead committees on AI legislation, the
|
||||
Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) and the
|
||||
Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE), voted by
|
||||
a large majority in favour of protecting Free Software in the AI
|
||||
Regulation. Non-profit organisations and small Free Software projects
|
||||
up to the size of micro-enterprises will be largely exempted from this
|
||||
regulation.

<p>
|
||||
In the <a href="/news/2023/news-20230515-02.html">most comprehensive survey to
|
||||
date</a>, end-users from all over Europe shared their experience about
|
||||
ISPs’ commercial practices regarding terminal equipment and how Router
|
||||
Freedom is affected. The responses have highlighted several obstacles
|
||||
to Router Freedom, such as lack of freedom of choice, provider lock-in
|
||||
and promotion of equipment running exclusively proprietary software.

|

on the future of Net Neutrality regulation</a>, confirming Router
|

Freedom as a priority for the future implementation of Open Internet in

Europe. (Recommendation 2, p. 91). The study referred to work done by
|
||||
the FSFE (p.11), supporting the conclusions we at the FSFE have been
|

advocating in recent years. In particular, national regulators should
|
||||
prioritize end-users’ rights and safeguard freedom of terminal
|
||||
equipment for all network types, including fiber (FTTH).
