The European Parliament and Council negotiators reached a provisional agreement on the rules governing the use of artificial intelligence (AI)\u00a0on Friday, Dec 8.<\/p>\n
The agreement\u00a0covers the governmental use of AI in biometric surveillance, how to regulate AI systems such as ChatGPT, and the transparency rules to follow before market entry. This covers technical documents, adherence to European Union copyright and sharing training content summaries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The EU wants to be the first supranational authority with laws on AI, specifying how it is to be used beneficially while protecting against risks. The deal was struck following a nearly 24-hour debate on Dec. 8 and 15 hours of negotiations after that.<\/p>\n
The agreement stipulates that AI models with significant impact and systemic risks must evaluate and address those risks, perform adversarial testing for system resilience, report incidents to the European Commission, ensure cybersecurity and disclose energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
\u201cCorrect implementation will be essential – the Parliament will keep a close eye on supporting new business ideas with sandboxes and effective rules for the most powerful models.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
After the deal was made, European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton posted<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter), \u201cHistoric! The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook \u2014 it\u2019s a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race. The best is yet to come!\u201d<\/p>\n
