EU and AI ethics Regulation - E&S Group

Since the introduction of GDPR and the success it brought about on a global standard, the EU has set its eyes on regulating Artificial Intelligence. The aim is to build trust by establishing policies and creating AI tools which ultimately will result in exporting such policies on a global level as it did with GDPR. Such proposition would benefit the EU as it would give it a competitive advantage. An expert group was set up by the European Commission which is comprised of 52 independent experts from academia, industry and civil society. A set of Guidelines has been put forward and the pilot phase will start this summer.
