"EU Countries Approve Landmark AI Rules in Historic Decision"

The ambassadors of the 27 EU countries have unanimously approved the world's first comprehensive rulebook for Artificial Intelligence, following a political agreement reached in December. The AI Act aims to regulate AI based on its potential to cause harm, with a tiered approach for different AI models. Despite initial opposition from countries like France, Germany, and Italy, the compromise was reached, and the AI Act is set to be adopted by the European Parliament and enter into force after a series of steps and timelines.
