The European Commission published a new Regulation on Artificial Intelligence - EACA
Providers and users of artificial intelligence (AI) systems will face new regulation driven by the risk these systems pose to people under plans outlined by the European Commission. Some AI systems will be completely banned from sale or use in the EU. According to the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), AI that poses an "unacceptable risk" to people will be banned. The proposal defines "unacceptable risk" as a set of particularly harmful uses of AI that contravene EU values because they violate fundamental rights (e.g., social scoring by governments, exploitation of children's vulnerabilities, use of subliminal techniques, and – with limited exceptions – remote live biometric identification systems in publicly accessible spaces used for law enforcement) The proposal then defines a limited number of AI systems as'high risk' because they negatively impact the security of individuals or their fundamental rights. Examples of "high risk" AI include that constitutes or is part of the machinery, medical devices, and vehicles used to manage critical infrastructures such as the management and operation of road traffic and the provision of water, gas, heating, and electricity, or for biometric identification and categorisation of people.
