🚨 The #AI Omnibus is deeply flawed. The EU Commission's proposal goes far beyond 'technical changes' and the process doesn't follow basic democratic procedures.

This would leave people in the EU without necessary protection from high-risk AI systems, such as biometric identification or AI use in schools.

41 organisations & experts are calling on EU lawmakers to REJECT the AI Omnibus, and protect the democratic process and our #FundamentalRights.

It would be really cute if it wasn't so costly: how so many people fall again & again for artificial hype creation in #AI:

1. Company says "our next model is super dangerous," we need to do this very responsibly. (But we'll sell it to whomever pays anyway. 🤷)

2. Journos blindly repeat industry claims without verifying them. "It'll destroy the world!"

3. Gov'ts demand "early access" & concede that "the future of our #security is now reliant on the future of AI."
