It is reported that the European Parliament approved the most comprehensive artificial intelligence legislation to date on March 13th. This historic bill aims to provide clear specifications for developers and users of artificial intelligence systems, and at the same time set new technical application boundaries.
After close consultation with EU member states, the European Parliament finally passed this remarkable bill by voting. The new bill, which is expected to be implemented gradually in the next few years, not only prohibits the application of artificial intelligence that is considered to be potentially harmful, but also introduces new transparency rules and requires risk assessment for artificial intelligence systems that are considered to be high-risk.
At the time of this legislation, artificial intelligence technology has been more and more widely used by enterprises and consumers, and the global debate on the future of artificial intelligence has become more and more heated. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing them of neglecting the possible negative impact on human beings just for pursuing profits, and Altman also acknowledged that the development of artificial intelligence needs extreme caution.
The new bill covers a wide range and applies to all artificial intelligence products sold in the EU market, no matter where they are developed. In addition, the bill also sets up a severe fine mechanism, and the maximum fine for companies that violate the regulations can reach 7% of their global income.
The impact of this bill is not limited to the EU, but it is expected to have a far-reaching impact on a global scale in view of its forward-looking and comprehensive nature. In order to enter the EU market with a population of about 448 million, large artificial intelligence companies will certainly abide by this new regulation. At the same time, other jurisdictions may also use this as a reference to formulate their own artificial intelligence regulations.
With the passage of the EU artificial intelligence bill, it marks that the global artificial intelligence supervision has entered a new era. This bill not only provides moral and legal guidance for the development of artificial intelligence technology, but also sets a new benchmark for protecting users’ safety and privacy. With its gradual implementation and response from other parts of the world, we are expected to see a safer, more transparent and more responsible artificial intelligence technology in the future.
