EU approves AI Law!

The artificial intelligence law (AI Law), which was voted last March and is expected to enter into force in the coming period, received the final approval from the Council of the European Union. A new committee and office will be established within the scope of this regulation, which is a first in the world.

The AI law will restrict the use of artificial intelligence in areas such as biometrics, facial recognition, education or employment. Developers using AI will have to meet risk and quality management obligations to gain access to the EU market.

What bans does the AI law include?

The law, the first of its kind in the world, will address the issue in 4 different categories. These categories are minimum risk, limited risk, high risk and unacceptable risk. Most AI tools will initially face only limited transparency requirements. However, tools included in the risk categories will face stricter regulations.

TikTok filed a lawsuit against the US government! Is it banned?

For example, applications such as chatbots will be considered limited risk and subject to lighter obligations. But extracting sensitive data such as emotion recognition, social scoring, sexual orientation or religious beliefs will be in the category of unacceptable risk.

The European Council approval will be published in the official gazette in the coming days. The law, the first of its kind in the world, will enter into force across the EU in 20 days. According to EU officials, this law is an important milestone for the European Union.

The law will play a key role in determining what to charge app developers. It will also establish regulatory boards to support the development and real-world testing of innovative apps.
