European Union: New Draft Rules on the Use of Artificial Intelligence

On 21 April 2021, the European Commission published draft regulations ("AI Regulations") governing the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The European Parliament and the member states have not yet adopted these proposed AI Regulations. The European Commission's proposed AI Regulations are the first attempt the world has seen at creating a uniform legal framework governing the use, development and marketing of AI. They will likely have a resounding impact on all businesses that use AI for years to come. The AI Regulations will become effective 20 days after publication in the Official Journal.
