Leading MEPs raise the curtain on draft AI rules

The two European Parliament co-rapporteurs finalised the Artificial Intelligence (AI) draft report on Monday (11 April), covering where they have found common ground. The most controversial issues have been pushed further down the line. Liberal Dragoș Tudorache and social-democrat Brando Benifei have been spearheading the discussion on the AI Act for the civil rights and consumer protection committees of the European Parliament, respectively. "There are things that we agreed already, and they will be in the draft report, and things on which we think that we will agree, but because we haven't found right now the common denominator, we did not put them in the report," Tudorache said. "Our approach has been to make this regulation truly human-centric," Benifei told EURACTIV.
