AI Act: Votes on Implementation Act Continue
Strasbourg/Berlin. The European Parliament (EP) is set to vote on a law implementing the AI Act on Tuesday, January 24, 2023. This process has been ongoing since November 2022, but a final vote has yet to be held.
The AI Act is a groundbreaking piece of legislation that will regulate the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the European Union (EU). It was adopted by the EP in April 2021 and by the Council of the EU in December 2022.
The implementation act will provide detailed rules on how the AI Act will be applied in practice. It will cover a range of issues, including the classification of AI systems, the requirements for high-risk AI systems, and the governance of AI.
The implementation act has been the subject of intense debate among MEPs. There are concerns that the act could be too restrictive and stifle innovation. Others argue that the act does not go far enough to protect citizens from the potential risks of AI.
The vote on the implementation act is expected to be close. The outcome will have a significant impact on the future of AI in the EU.
Background:
The AI Act is the first comprehensive law on AI in the world. It aims to ensure that AI is developed and used in a safe and ethical manner.
The AI Act classifies AI systems into four categories:
- Unacceptable risk: AI systems that pose a serious risk to safety, health, or fundamental rights.
- High risk: AI systems that could pose a significant risk to safety, health, or fundamental rights.
- Medium risk: AI systems that could pose a limited risk to safety, health, or fundamental rights.
- Low risk: AI systems that pose no significant risk to safety, health, or fundamental rights.
High-risk AI systems will be subject to a number of requirements, including:
- Transparency: The developer of the AI system must provide information about how the system works and what data it uses.
- Human oversight: The use of the AI system must be subject to human oversight.
- Accuracy and robustness: The AI system must be accurate and robust.
- Fairness and non-discrimination: The AI system must not be biased or discriminatory.
The AI Act also establishes a new European Artificial Intelligence Board (EAIB). The EAIB will advise the European Commission on the implementation of the AI Act and on the development of AI policy.
The AI Act is a complex and far-reaching piece of legislation. It is still too early to say what the full impact of the act will be. However, it is clear that the AI Act will have a major impact on the development and use of AI in the EU.
