Argentina’s AI Crime Prediction Plan Raises Human Rights Concerns

ADM, AI, Argentina |

Argentina’s government, led by President Javier Milei, has created the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit to predict future crimes using AI. The unit will analyze historical crime data, employ facial recognition, and monitor social media to anticipate criminal activity. Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, have raised concerns about potential violations of privacy and freedom of expression. Critics warn that certain societal groups may face disproportionate scrutiny, echoing fears of state repression reminiscent of Argentina’s dictatorial past.

Suno Admits It Trained it’s AI Music Generator on ‘Essentially All Music Files on the Internet’

AI, Copyright, Fair Use |

Suno, the AI music generator company, revealed in court that its tool was trained on “essentially all music files of reasonable quality” available online, totaling tens of millions of recordings. This admission came amid a major lawsuit filed by top record labels, accusing Suno and Udio, another AI music generator, of using copyrighted material without permission. Suno argues that its AI’s use of these recordings falls under Fair Use, a claim that could set an important legal precedent for the future of AI-generated content.

Neurotechnologies and Mental Privacy: Societal and Ethical Challenges

Neurodata |

The European Parliament has launched a report addressing the implications of neurotechnologies (NT) on mental privacy. Originally used for clinical purposes, NT devices are now widely accessible for cognitive and physical enhancement, which raises privacy, security, and ethical concerns. The Neurorights Foundation (NRF), established in 2017, proposes ‘neurorights’ such as mental privacy and protection from algorithmic bias. The report evaluates these proposals and recommends a balanced regulatory framework to protect users while fostering responsible NT development.

The study recommends six actions: investigating technology-centred risk evaluations, tracking public communication on NT, discontinuing neurorights as human/fundamental rights, funding research to fill existing gaps, supporting EU NT providers, and investigating the need for new NT device standards. This builds on a prior EDPS tech dispatch highlighting similar data protection needs.
