EU SETS THE STAGE FOR AI LAWS
European Union lawmakers are set to back the world’s first sweeping rules on artificial intelligence (AI) systems on Wednesday, aiming to curb potential harms while nurturing innovation.

The rules, which were proposed by the European Commission in April 2021, would ban certain high-risk AI applications, such as those used for social scoring, predictive policing, and deepfakes. They would also require companies to take steps to mitigate the risks of other AI applications, such as those used for facial recognition and hiring.
The rules are still subject to negotiations with EU member states, but they are expected to be approved in the coming months. If they are adopted, they would be the first comprehensive AI regulations in the world.
The EU’s AI rules have been welcomed by privacy and civil liberties groups, who say they are necessary to protect people from the potential harms of AI. However, some tech companies have expressed concerns that the rules are too restrictive and could stifle innovation.
The EU’s AI rules are part of a broader effort by the bloc to regulate emerging technologies. The EU has also proposed rules on gene editing and quantum computing.
The rules are seen as a way for the EU to assert its leadership in the global debate on AI regulation. The United States and China are also developing their own AI regulations, but the EU’s rules are seen as being more comprehensive and ambitious.
The EU’s AI rules are likely to have a significant impact on the global AI market. Companies that want to sell AI products in the EU will need to comply with the rules, which could mean making changes to their products or services. The rules could also make it more difficult for smaller companies to enter the AI market.
The EU’s AI rules are a significant step forward in the global effort to regulate AI. However, it remains to be seen how effective they will be in protecting people from the potential harms of AI. The rules will need to be carefully enforced in order to be successful.
Here are some of thoughts on social media about AI
AI is the next phase of science.
We can model LANGUAGE!
Perfectly.
That should be impossible. But we did. And that unlocked the ability to model images, and video.
AI will distil the laws of the universe using our language.
I’m 90% sure this is how we get a theory of everything.— Daniel Losey (@DanielJLosey) June 29, 2023
