  • Experts in AI call on the President of the European Commission to retract unscientific AI hype statements made in a budget speech.
  • The President relied on marketing claims from tech CEOs about AGI and superintelligence, which are driven by financial motives rather than rigorous science.
  • The letter emphasizes the need for impartial scientific evaluation of AI claims and warns against promoting AI hype that could lead to harmful policies.
  • Leaked documents suggest the Commission may dismantle personal data protection for AI, which could benefit US tech companies at the expense of EU competitiveness.
  • Signatories highlight existing AI harms, including discrimination, privacy violations, and environmental impacts, urging the Commission to address these issues instead of promoting hype.
