As President Donald Trump has argued, America's economic security is our national security, whether it's reshoring jobs in critical industries or promoting robust commerce to create the jobs and technologies that will drive the world economy during this new Golden Age and into the future. America is already the leader in AI, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, energy and more – but that position can still be threatened not just by China, our greatest economic adversary, but also by some of our oldest allies in the European Union. As China seeks to weaken the U.S. and expand its global influence, it's eyeing the 27-nation EU as a partner against American industry. In critical sectors – auto manufacturing, clean energy, technology, aerospace and defense – China is tightening its grip on European markets.

Companies with employees in the European Union (EU) could be affected by a landmark proposal to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) across the region. The EU Artificial Intelligence Act, now working its way through the legislative process, is expected to shape technology and standards worldwide. The act comprises a broad set of rules seeking to regulate the use of AI across industries and social activities, noted Jean-François Gerard, a Brussels-based attorney for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. The AI regulation proposes a sliding scale of rules based on risk: the higher the perceived risk, the stricter the rule, he said. The proposal would classify different AI applications as unacceptable, high, limited or minimal risks, according to a client briefing Gerard helped produce.

In light of the April 2021 announcement of the world's first legislative framework for regulating Artificial Intelligence (AI), the European Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AIA), now is an opportune time for developers to revisit their strategies for testing AI applications. Incoming regulations mean that the group of stakeholders who care about your testing results just got bigger and more involved. The stakes are high, not least because companies that violate the terms of the legislation could face fines higher than those levied under the General Data Protection Act (GDPR). For the purpose of transparency, certain types of AI also have to make their accuracy metrics available to users, which adds to the pressure to get functional testing right. Following on from Applause's step-by-step guide to training and testing your AI algorithm, this article summarizes how developers should be testing AI applications in anticipation of the new era of AI regulations.
