From ancient medical ethics to modern AI challenges, the journey of consent represents one of humanity's most fascinating ethical evolutions. In my latest blog post, I explore how we've moved from medical paternalism to a new frontier where AI capabilities force us to rethink consent.

The "consent gap" in AI is real: while we can approve initial data use, AI systems can generate countless unforeseen applications of our personal information. It's like signing a blank check without knowing all possible amounts that could be filled in.

Should we reimagine consent for the AI age? Perhaps we need dynamic consent systems that evolve alongside AI capabilities, similar to how healthcare transformed from physician-centered authority to patient autonomy.

Curious to hear your thoughts: how can we balance technological innovation with meaningful user sovereignty over digital identity?

Coming back to Paris Friday to open our new Hugging Face office!

We're at capacity for the party but add your name in the waiting list as we're trying to privatize the passage du Caire for extra space for robots πŸ€–πŸ¦ΎπŸ¦Ώ

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Policy Thoughts in the EU AI Act Implementation πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

There is a lot to like in the first draft of the EU GPAI Code of Practice, especially as regards transparency requirements. The Systemic Risks part, on the other hand, is concerning for both smaller developers and for external stakeholders.

I wrote more on this topic ahead of the next draft. TLDR: more attention to immediate large-scale risks and to collaborative solutions supported by evidence can help everyone - as long as developers disclose sufficient information about their design choices and deployment contexts.

Full blog here, based on our submitted response with @frimelle and @brunatrevelin :
