EU signs off on artificial intelligence law


EU ministers have given final approval to the Artificial Intelligence Act. The law is to regulate use of AI in "high-risk" sectors, such as law enforcement and employment.

EU ministers on Tuesday signed off on a landmark law that sets out rules for using artificial intelligence in situations and sectors that are deemed particularly sensitive. Such situations include those where use of AI could potentially harm health, safety, fundamental rights, the environment, democracy, elections and the rule of law. AI systems that are deemed to pose limited risks will have to meet much lighter transparency standards, among other things being obliged to disclose that their content is AI-generated to allow people to decide how much trust they have in it.
