World’s first law on regulating AI propose

In News 
  • The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI.
Proposed rules 
  • The legislation includes safeguards on the use of AI within the EU, including clear guardrails on its adoption by law enforcement agencies, and consumers have been empowered to launch complaints against any perceived violations.
  • The deal includes strong restrictions on facial recognition technology, and on using AI to manipulate human behaviour, alongside provisions for tough penalties for companies breaking the rules.
  • Governments can only use real-time biometric surveillance in public areas only when there are serious threats involved, such as terrorist attacks.
  • The EU legal framework broadly divides AI applications into four risk classes: on one end, some applications will be largely banned, including the deployment of facial recognition on a mass-scale, with some exemptions for law enforcement.
  • AI applications focused on behavioural control will be also banned. High risk applications such as the use of AI tools for self-driving cars will be allowed, but subject to certification and an explicit provision for the backend techniques to be made open to public scrutiny.
  • Those applications that fall in the “medium risk” category can be deployed without restrictions, such as generative AI chatbots, but there has to be detailed documentation of how the tech works and users have to be explicitly made aware that they are dealing with an AI and not interacting with a human.
  • Developers will need to comply with transparency obligations before they release chatbots into the markets, including details about the contents used for training the algorithm.
