BRUSSELS – The European Union has decided to introduce a landmark law restricting the use of artificial intelligence. After 38 hours of discussions, European Union (EU) people’s representatives and policy makers reached an agreement to proceed with the ‘AI Act’. The EU’s attempt to legalize artificial intelligence (AI) is a world first. European Union President Ursula Vonder Leyen said that this will be the legal framework to develop AI in a way that humanity can trust.

The law includes guidelines for governments to use AI for biometric surveillance systems. AI-powered multi-tasking assistant ChatGPIT will also have control over it.

EU law requires that ChatGPT and other public AI systems meet transparency standards before being brought to market. It is also required to comply with EU copyright laws and hand over a detailed description of the content used to train the AI. Governments should only use real-time biometric surveillance in relation to more serious crimes such as terrorism.

Another feature of the Act is to prescribe a redressal mechanism for complaints related to AI. Companies who violate the terms will have to pay fines ranging from 75 lakh euros to 3.5 crore euros.
