The EU is actively pursuing comprehensive regulations for artificial intelligence as part of its overarching digital strategy, which aims to foster a conducive environment for the responsible growth and usage of this transformative technology. The potential benefits of AI are vast, ranging from enhanced healthcare services to cleaner transportation systems and more efficient manufacturing processes.
The European Commission has put forth an ambitious proposal to establish the first regulatory framework for AI within the EU. This framework involves assessing various AI applications based on their associated risks to users. The degree of regulatory oversight will correspond to the severity of these risks. If these proposed regulations are enacted, they will mark a historic milestone in AI legislation.
Parliament’s priority The primary objective is to ensure AI systems operating within the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, free of bias, and sustainable. Furthermore, these systems should be governed by human oversight rather than relying solely on automated processes to mitigate adverse effects. Additionally, there is a drive to create a uniform, technology-agnostic definition of AI that could apply to future advancements in the field.
This pause might indicate that negotiators are unwilling to back down from key demands.

There are growing concerns about predictive policing initiatives and the lack of transparency surrounding the police/migration database, compelling Members of the European Parliament not to relent on these critical issues. @IoanDragosT The proposed ban on predictive policing measures by the EU is still in question.
While civil society groups have pushed for an outright ban on highly discriminatory predictive policing methods, the Council is currently leaning towards only a limited and somewhat ineffective prohibition. https://t.co/mr2avk6Fbu
