The AI Act
The AI Act is a proposed European law designed to regulate artificial intelligence systems to ensure they are safe, transparent, and respect fundamental rights. It categorizes AI applications based on risk levels—ranging from minimal to high—and sets requirements for transparency, oversight, and accountability accordingly. High-risk AI, like those used in healthcare or law enforcement, must meet strict standards before deployment. The goal is to prevent harm, promote trustworthy AI, and foster innovation while safeguarding citizens' rights in the evolving digital landscape.
