The European Union has taken a significant step towards regulating artificial intelligence by adopting a draft negotiating mandate on what it claims would be the “world’s first rules” on AI. The new rules are designed to ensure that AI systems are safe, transparent, non-discriminatory, traceable, and environmentally friendly, and are “overseen by people.” The legislation follows a risk-based approach, with providers and users having specific obligations depending on the level of risk involved in using the AI. MEPs amended the proposal to have a uniform definition for AI and systems with an unacceptable level of risk to people’s safety would be strictly banned. The adoption of the mandate is seen as an important step in building citizens’ trust in the development of AI and setting the European way for dealing with the extraordinary changes that are already happening.
