European Union member states and the European Parliament have worked to publish “the AI act” to enable a framework of “staggered rules” based on risk These include items such as:
- Unacceptable risk systems – tech that poses a threat to people will mostly be banned
- AI systems must respect EU copyright rules and be transparent around how generative AI relative to who we are, so with a wider models have been trained
- General purpose tools like Chat GPT will be assessed on how powerful they are. Tools trained using large amounts of computing power would face more obligations and reporting restrictions.
So what?
Companies will not have to implement the rules for 2 years, in which time they could be out of date before they are even implemented. Will these rules stifle innovation in this fast moving sector?
