The EU Artificial Intelligence Act - recent updates

The European Parliament's Legal Affairs (JURI) Committee, one of the 20 standing committees made up of a number of Members of the European Parliament, recently held a session discussing the EU Artificial Intelligence Act ("AI Act"). Here, we highlight key'thinking points' discussed to give an indication of where the AI Act may change from its current draft. The session was short, so potential answers will be the subject of further debate. For the background on the European Commission's proposed AI Act, see our articles "Artificial intelligence - EU Commission publishes proposed regulations" and "EU Artificial Intelligence Act - what has happened so far and what to expect next". AI has the potential to bring many benefits to users and wider society.
