EU Reaches Landmark Agreement to Regulate Artificial Intelligence
The European Union has reached an agreement on landmark legislation, known as the AI Act, to regulate artificial intelligence. The law aims to establish comprehensive standards for the use of AI while safeguarding the rights of individuals and businesses. It requires tech companies to disclose data used to train AI systems and conduct testing, particularly for high-risk applications like self-driving vehicles and healthcare. The legislation prohibits indiscriminate scraping of images for facial recognition databases but allows exemptions for law enforcement purposes. Violators may face fines of up to seven percent of global revenue. The EU law is considered the most comprehensive effort to regulate AI, contrasting with the hands-off approaches of other countries like the UK and Japan.
