## The A.i. and Digital Services Landscape: By the Numbers

The global AI market is projected to reach a staggering $190.61 billion in 2024. That's more zeros than in a computer scientist's binary dreams! 😴💻

Meanwhile, the global e-commerce market is expected to hit $6.3 trillion in 2024, according to #Statista. It's like Black Friday, almost ... every day! 🛒💳

#💼# Regulatory Frontiers: The D.S.A #💼#

The EU's Digital Services Act is shaking up the digital world like a virtual earthquake! 🌋 Effective from February 17, 2024, the DSA aims to create a safer and more accountable online environment.

• We have now moved on from the early 21st century 'laisser-faire' era post-the-2000-internet-Bubble-Burst' when governments ....simply thought that there was 'no money' to be made on the internet and looked at it ...

• .... at worse as a 'Hobby' or at best as a 'bet on a far away future', that did not need 'ham-fisted' regulation ...

Maybe some of you even remember the sentence uttered by 'visionary tech CEO' like :

** OOOh yeah... Times have changed ...

Between :

- The platforms run by DATA-ABSOLUTISTS (or 'FreeSpeech-maximalists') CEOs, DeVs, #Hactivists,engineers,... with their staffs, for whom 'Code is Law', 'Greed is Good', or .. 'Freespeech should always prevail'

and...

• The Governments who did not understand the technology or its impacts or its potential revenues

and...

• The users who NEVER read the 'terms and conditions' and legal documentts offered by the platforms..

--> From 'Business Units' with a single teenager intern masquerading as a 'Community-Managers' to fully-fledge Social Media Management teams, a few years later...

--> From e-boutiques to online 'Superstore', like #Alibaba, the journey was long for internet professionals longing to be taken more 'seriously' =

--> ( It took 18 years for the #GDPR, for exemple...) ...

** ON THE UP' AND UP' ? **

• Balancing ethical concerns and CREATiViTY has always been the main challlenge for tech innovators up and down, globes and valleys...

• Technological Disruption supposes bravery and a temporary disregard for regulation (Which often do not exist', by the way !!), if you want to push your teams uphill, creatively ...

=💥= KEY POINTS OF THE D.S.A =💥=

• Enhanced transparency requirements for online platforms :

1. Algorithmic transparency and accountability for #TikTok, #Instagram, #Google... :

• The DSA introduces due diligence and transparency obligations regarding algorithmic decision-making by online platforms, such as social media, video sharing, and e-commerce sites

#Risk assessment and mitigation:

• 17 Very Large Online Platforms (#VLOP) and 2 Very Large Online Search Engines (#VLOSE) with more than 45 Millions Monthly Active Users, must conduct systemic risk assessments and implement mitigation measures, which likely includes:

• Assessing risks related to their use of AI systems (Check Part1) .

• #MAU : Monthly Active Users
• - QUESTION: is #Telegram, one of the 17 VLOPs ??

• Stricter content moderation rules :

1. Content moderation:

• The #DSA sets content moderation obligations for online platforms, which may impact how AI is used for content filtering and moderation.

--> Is this a 'realistic goal' ? : Can any given service providers or online platform, 'control' 100% of what is being said and done on its Very Large Online Platform today? : Clearly 'NO' !

** 'Critical content' or 'Triggering content' will be filtered as it is already being done through Google's YMYL policy anyway (Your Money Your Life):

Protects users from spammy offers involving health and 'false claims' ('Magic pill that cures everything'), porn, non-authorized financial content with way too high rewards, etc...

#Auditing requirements:

• The DSA mandates independent audits, which specifically mention the need to analyze "algorithmic systems such as advertising systems, content moderation technologies, recommender systems and other functionalities...
• ... Relying on novel technologies such as generative models"

2. Increased protection for minors online (Obvious'?)

3. Enforcement:

• The DSA introduces a new authority, the European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (#ECAT), to help monitor compliance, including the use of AI by digital service providers .

• Something already anticipated by #TikTok for exemple in #California

#Sanctions:

• Non-compliance with #DSA obligations, including those related to algorithmic systems, can result in fines of up to 6% of a company's annual worldwide turnover .

#Potential framework for regulating A.i. :

• As the DSA is already being enforced, it may set some initial legal framework for AI systems (including foundation models) in digital services before the AI Act comes into force in 2025/2026 .

#👗# CREATING SYNTHETIC VALUE : A GLOBAL TOUR #👗#

### BRICS Nations: Building Digital Bridges :

** India's #Flipkart is using AI to generate synthetic logistics data, optimizing delivery routes and reducing costs.

--> It's like having a crystal ball for your package deliveries! 📦

### The Global South: 'Lion Stepping' with A.i. and Digital Services :

- 25% cautious optimism about A.i. innovations 🤔

- 15% concern about potential overregulation 😟

## The Future of Synthetic Value in Digital Services ∞ :

Imagine a world where AI creates synthetic product reviews to help consumers make informed decisions, or generates synthetic user behavior data to improve #Cybersecurity.

• The possibilities are as endless as your #Netflix watchlist and suggestions !

Going down the infinite 'Rabbit-hole' never made more sense, since the advent of #GenAi !! (#ADMP)

## Ethical Considerations 📺 :

With great power comes great responsibility, as Spider-Man's Uncle Ben would say. We must ensure that synthetic value doesn't compromise privacy or perpetuate biases.

• It's like being a digital superhero with a strong moral compass! 🦸♀️

#🧭# Actionable Takeaways #🧭# :

1. Embrace the synthetic revolution, but always balance user privacy, data protection and creativity . #AgileManagement.

2. Collaborate across borders - AI and digital services don't need passports! - Comply at some point, to avvoid risking your company's future

3. Stay updated on regulations like the #DSA by following #ADMP newsfeed - be the cool kid who actually reads the terms of service, but skirt along the limits if you truly want to disrupt multiple markets...

4. Experiment with synthetic data in your field, stay-ready and data-driven, turn data into 'real-life' actions, moreover..keep iterating, and optimizing your product or service...
