On the 17 of July 2020, the High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI HLEG) presented their final Assessment List for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. Following a piloting process where over 350 stakeholders participated, an earlier prototype of the list was revised and translated into a tool to support AI developers and deployers in developing Trustworthy AI. The tool supports the actionability the key requirements outlined by the Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI), presented by the High-Level Expert Group on AI (AI HLEG) presented to the European Commission, in April 2019. The Ethics Guidelines introduced the concept of Trustworthy AI, based on seven key requirements: human agency and oversight technical robustness and safety privacy and data governance transparency diversity, non-discrimination and fairness environmental and societal well-being and accountability Through the Assessment List for Trustworthy AI (ALTAI), AI principles are translated into an accessible and dynamic checklist that guides developers and deployers of AI in implementing such principles in practice. ALTAI will help to ensure that users benefit from AI without being exposed to unnecessary risks by indicating a set of concrete steps for self-assessment. Download the Assessment List for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (ALTAI) (.pdf) The ALTAI is also available in a web-based tool version.

The Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a document prepared by the High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI HLEG). This independent expert group was set up by the European Commission in June 2018, as part of the AI strategy announced earlier that year. The AI HLEG presented a first draft of the Guidelines in December 2018. Following further deliberations by the group in light of discussions on the European AI Alliance, a stakeholder consultation and meetings with representatives from Member States, the Guidelines were revised and published in April 2019.

The French Digital Council was given a mandate to examine the question of Net Neutrality in terms of the effectiveness of current legal provisions with a view to protecting the freedom of expression of Internet users. The Council is of the opinion: That French legislation does not sufficiently protect freedom of expression in view of the development of content filtering, blocking, censorship and slowing practices. That the principle of neutrality should be recognised as a fundamental principle necessary for the freedom of communication and the freedom of expression and written into the law at the highest level of the hierarchy of norms: - Into the title of the 1986 Act, renamed “Freedom of Expression and Communication Act” rather than solely “Freedom of Communication Act”; - Into the second paragraph of the first article of the 1986 Act, to read, “The neutrality of communication networks, infrastructures and access and communication services open to the public by means of electronic channels shall guarantee access to information and means of expression on a non-discriminatory, equitable and transparent basis.” That the principle of neutrality should supplement and clarify the existing legislative provisions: - As a fundamental freedom, its enforcement is to be directly under the control of the courts. Any restriction may only be made by common law and in compliance with rule of law procedures. - Through the freedom of communication and expression, the principle of neutrality asserts the freedom of creation and innovation and contributes to digital citizenship. Its implementation should constantly keep pace with technological innovations, economic change and developments in uses, especially with regard to mobile technology, peer-to-peer communications and connected objects. It is for the executive and the legislature to establish a method of governance and a timeframe, if deemed necessary. That, lastly, to ensure the effective, enduring implementation of this principle, indicators should be set up to measure the level of neutrality of networks and services open to the public, in liaison with the political, economic and social stakeholders and the regulatory authorities, including at European level.

On 16 July, at the instigation of the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister entrusted Michel Van Den Berghe with the task of studying the feasibility of a "cyber campus" with all the players in the digital ecosystem. His aim: to define a new center of gravity for digital security and trust in France and Europe. The prefiguration report for the Cyber Campus was presented at the 2020 International Cybersecurity Forum in Lille by Cédric O, Secretary of State for Digital Affairs, and Michel Van Den Berghe. This document defines the major missions as well as the vision for this unifying project. It also presents the keys to its success, directly from the opportunity study that is also proposed.

L’intelligence artificielle est entrée, depuis quelques années, dans une nouvelle ère, qui donne lieu à de nombreuses craintes et à de nombreux espoirs. Rendues possibles par des algorithmes nouveaux, la multiplication des jeux de données et le décuplement des puissances de calcul, les applications se multiplient : traduction automatique, conduite autonome, détection de cancer… Le développement de l’intelligence artificielle est amené à toucher l’ensemble des domaines et des secteurs. Les investissements dans la recherche et dans l’industrie atteignent des sommes extraordinaires, notamment aux États-Unis et en Chine. Les responsables politiques du monde entier l’évoquent dans les discours de politique générale comme un levier de pouvoir majeur. C’est que l’intelligence artificielle va désormais jouer un rôle bien plus important que celui qu’elle jouait jusqu’alors et, plus que jamais, il nous faut donner un sens à son développement. Donner un sens, c’est d’abord donner une direction, un cap, pour positionner la France et l’Europe à l’avant-garde de cette révolution naissante. C’est également lui donner une signification : l’intelligence artificielle n’a précisément de sens que si elle participe du progrès humain, social et environnemental. Dans un monde marqué par les inégalités, elle ne doit pas conduire à renforcer les phénomènes d’exclusion et la concentration de la valeur. Donner un sens, c’est enfin expliquer : démystifier ces technologies auprès de la société, mais aussi expliquer l’intelligence artificielle en elle-même, s’agissant de techniques qui restent empreintes d’une très forte opacité. Donner un sens à l’IA, voilà donc l’objectif de ce rapport.
