Two relevant committees of the European Parliament supported amendments to the AI bill, which would ban a wide range of use cases for the technology. Writes about it Reuters.
These include restrictions on facial recognition programs in public places and predictive policing algorithms.
The amendments also establish transparency requirements for creators of generative models. They will be required to label content as created by AI, as well as disclose information about the materials used for training.
“This vote is an important milestone in the regulation of artificial intelligence […]. AI should serve people, society and the environment, and not vice versa,” said Green Party MEP Kim van Sparrentak.
In addition, the law requires the creation of a public database of “high-risk” artificial intelligence systems used by government agencies.
In general, the document covers many areas of application of AI, including face recognition, generative algorithms and unmanned vehicles. All systems will be divided into three categories: low risk, high and unacceptable. The former will not be regulated, the latter will be required to follow certain rules, and the third will be prohibited.
As an example of “unacceptable” AI, MEPs named social rating systems or the use of technology to manipulate public opinion.
High-risk algorithms include unmanned vehicles, medical devices and other technologies, the failure of which can threaten human life.
Companies using AI will be required to assess risks in terms of “health, respect for fundamental rights, democracy and the environment.”
The project prohibits:
- face recognition in real time in public places;
- collection of biometric data for training identification systems from cameras and social networks;
- the use of emotion recognition technologies by police, employers or educational institutions;
- operation of AI systems that separate users by demographic characteristics;
- use of crime prediction systems.
In total, the deputies considered about 3,000 amendments. Now the document will be put to a vote in the European Parliament.
After the entry into force of the law, market participants will have about two years to bring their activities in line with the new rules.
Violators of the regulations face a fine of 6% of annual revenue or 30 million euros.
Recall that in April, a group of European legislators announced plans to develop draft rules to control the development of AI systems.
