Now finally assigned an issue number: my article »Why “Artificial Intelligence” Should Not Be Regulated«, in which I argue not against technology regulation, but against arbitrary definitions of 'AI' by lawmakers and in favor of risk-based, technology-independent regulation.

A hill I will die on is that AI ⊃ ML and not AI = ML. If regulators only mean to regulate ML they should simply do so and not try to redefine AI.

Over the last few years, several people from the @milanlp.bsky.social lab went onto the academic job market in #NLP. Based on the conversations with them, I collected some observations we shared internally. In case they are useful for others, though, here they are: dirkhovy.com/post/2025_01...

I always find the notion that the European AI industry is held back by (over) regulation quite surprising. Most rules of the AI act will not apply before August 2026. GDPR came into force in 2018. Where have all the EU's big tech companies been before? Clearly regulation is not our (biggest) problem

Why "Artificial Intelligence" Should Not Be Regulated For a special issue of Digital Government, I wrote a commentary arguing that "AI" should not be regulated. Not because AI can't be dangerous or AI systems shouldn't be regulated, but because AI is ill-defined and a useless regulatory category.

That’s quite interesting: A report from Goldman Sachs questioning whether the use of Generative AI is actually financially sustainable. I personally think we will see more and more that it is often not, particularly for tasks where “simpler” models exist. www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence...

Even in the age of Large Language Models, rule-based NLG is alive and has a role to play. Very happy to start a new project on applications of NLG in the health sector with the company Raiys, as part of which Raiys will also support the further development of SimpleNLG-DE.
