European Union AI Act

The European Union AI Act is a proposed regulation aimed at ensuring that artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are safe and respect people's rights. It categorizes AI systems based on risk levels, from minimal to high, imposing stricter rules on higher-risk applications, like biometric surveillance or critical infrastructure. The act seeks to promote innovation while protecting users by establishing standards for transparency, accountability, and ethics. Ultimately, it aims to create a framework for responsible AI development and use within the EU, encouraging public trust and safeguarding fundamental rights.
