Europe’s Digital Markets Act, What’s Next?

The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is a significant regulatory measure by the European Union aimed at increasing competition and regulating major tech companies, particularly American firms like Google, Meta, and Apple. The DMA targets 'gatekeepers' and seeks to enforce compliance plans to ensure fair competition. The act has already influenced similar regulations globally, including in Japan, the UK, and Brazil. While the DMA aims to foster innovation and competition, there are concerns about its enforceability and potential unintended consequences, such as reinforcing the dominance of existing gatekeepers. The discussion also highlights the balance between civil law and common law approaches to regulation, with the DMA representing a more proactive regulatory stance. The article features insights from experts and anticipates a long legal process before significant changes are observed.

Deepfakes, distrust and disinformation: Welcome to the AI election

Artificial intelligence tools like those from OpenAI and Midjourney are being used to create realistic images and audio clips that can spread disinformation during elections. Despite the potential for harm, most AI-generated content is quickly debunked and has not significantly influenced election outcomes. Political operatives and foreign governments are leveraging these tools to sow doubt, but the actual impact remains theoretical. Efforts by tech companies and governments to combat AI disinformation are ongoing, with initiatives to label AI-generated content and improve detection. The use of AI in elections is more about enhancing traditional tactics like targeted advertising rather than creating convincing deepfakes.

Soloists received mixed reviews, with Ruby Hughes's soprano noted as strident. The first half of the concert, featuring works by Mendelssohn, Bach, and Schumann, was less successful, with issues in balance and sound. The Schumann piece was criticized for being overlong, and the reconstructed Bach concerto for two violins was questioned for its effectiveness.
