Hi all, @Luis: The whole thing was originally conceptualised in a whitepaper penned by Paul Keller and Felix Reda <https://openfuture.pubpub.org/pub/whitepaper-article17-public-domain-repository/release/2>. I would strongly assume that they will know more about potential consortiums.
@Tilman: To be fair, I didn't have much time to properly read through the finalised guidelines <https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/repository/document/2024-13/C_2024_2121_1_EN_annexe_acte_autonome_cp_part1_v3_tpHHZgYyBGFMF8J5rE0OR1GdOis_103911.pdf> before the report went out, so I skipped them. I have now caught up on my reading and to be honest it feels simultaneously overwhelming and underwhelming. A ton of well meant recommendations (as guidelines are non-binding), but it also says that VLOPs are free to come up with other measures to mitigate risks. The recommendations themselves come in several categories: - *reinforcing internal processes* (e.g. having a dedicated team and people who are aware of local contexts), - *risk mitigation measures for electoral processes* (e.g. pointing users to official election portals, media literacy initiatives, fact-checking labels, demonetisation, recommender systems), - *mitigation measures linked to generative AI* (e.g. watermarks, making an effort to ensure AIs are trained on reliable sources, red-teaming exercises), - *cooperation with national authorities, independent experts and civil society organisations*, - specific recommendations for during the election period (put in place an *internal incident response mechanism*), - and for after the election period (conduct a *post-election review*). I hope this clarifies your question at least partially!
