EU Parliament Backs AI Act to Regulate Tech

The European Union's proposed AI act has been endorsed by the European Parliament and is on track to become law. The act aims to regulate artificial intelligence technology and addresses concerns about its use. It prohibits certain AI systems that pose an "unacceptable risk," but includes exemptions for military, defense, and national security contexts. The legislation introduces a category for "high-risk" systems used in critical areas, subject to strict requirements. EU citizens have the right to request explanations about AI system decisions affecting them. Generative AI systems, deepfakes, and chatbots providing public information are also covered. Companies violating the regulations face fines, and a European AI office will be established. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message
