Ultimately, law, computer science and sustainability perspectives – both in academia and in industry – need to converge to effectively address the dual large-scale transformations of AI and sustainability.

For example, the subjective right to erasure, in some situations, has to be balanced against the collective interest in mitigating climate change. And if retraining an AI model to comply with the right to be forgotten entails the annual energy costs of a small town, we should perhaps refrain from granting that right – or at least factor these sustainability costs into the equation.

(2) This regulatory toolkit may then, in a second step, serve as a blueprint for other information technologies and infrastructures facing significant sustainability challenges due to their high GHG emissions, for example: blockchain; Metaverse applications; and data centers.
(3) Most importantly, certain rights we have come to take for granted, such as the right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR), may have to be limited due to sustainability considerations.

In this, the paper explores two key dimensions: legal instruments to make AI greener; and methods to render AI regulation, and the law itself, more sustainable:

I try to make three concrete points:

(1) First, regulating for more sustainable AI: we need to go beyond mere transparency. I consider co-regulation strategies; sustainability by design; restrictions on training data; and consumption caps. One important strategy going forward may be: sustainability impact assessments.

Extremely excited that my new paper is out: Sustainable AI Regulation (arxiv.org/abs/2306.00292)! And that the paper was discussed at the one and only Privacy Law Scholars Conference, I couldn’t have thought of a better debut...

Given the deplorable state of our planet, the law (including IT law) must adapt, and in certain areas quite radically. Hence, for AI regulation, we need a shift from trustworthiness to sustainability.

Squaring the regulatory circle: Here is the video of my statements and answers at the public hearing on generative AI, held at the German Parliament. In the exciting hearing, we discussed the state, risks and benefits of generative AI, the AI Act of course, content moderation, and other things of interest.

2/3 In the statement, I answer 18 questions prepared by the Committee on Digital Affairs on the regulatory framework for generative AI, the new AI Act proposal offered by the European Parliament, the risks and opportunities of generative AI more generally, possible implications for the job market, the LEAM initiative for supporting investment in AI compute infrastructure, and many other pertaining issues.

1/3 The German Parliament has asked me, alongside other experts such as Sandra Wachter, Natali Helberger and Jonas Andrulis, to weigh in on generative artificial intelligence. The public hearing will take place this Wednesday, May 24, starting at 2:30 PM CEST. You may follow the public hearing live online (or even in person) and find the written statement I prepared here:

Oxford reloaded 🍿: Here's the video of my talk at Magdalen College, University of Oxford on Regulating ChatGPT. I have included comments on the latest EP proposals concerning the AI Act and on the temporary Italian ChatGPT ban (which was, IMHO, quite justified).

Many thanks again to Jeremias Adams-Prassl for incredible hospitality, to Amelie Sophie Berz for great organization and discussions, and to the fantastic Oxford audience for an exciting Q&A!

Grateful to have been interviewed for 90 (!) minutes by Thomas Schwenke and Marcus Richter for the splendid Rechtsbelehrung podcast. We talk about all things generative AI, the AI Act, the Italian DPA's ChatGPT ban, the failed Musk moratorium, content moderation, transparency, bias, ..., and other regulatory challenges.
