The EU has emerged as the first major power to introduce a comprehensive set of laws to govern the use of AI after it agreed on a landmark deal for the EU AI bill. The bill will turn into an EU law once it is approved by the European Parliament at a vote scheduled for early 2024.
The provisional agreement defines the rules for the governance of AI in biometric surveillance and how to regulate general-purpose AI systems (GPAIS), such as ChatGPT. “This regulation aims to ensure that fundamental rights, democracy, the rule of law and environmental sustainability are protected from high risk AI, while boosting innovation and making Europe a leader in the field,” said the press release issued by European Parliament.
