European Parliament Approves Landmark Artificial Intelligence Act


The European Parliament approved on Wednesday a landmark political agreement on AI.

In its release announcing the vote, the European Parliament enumerated several examples of high-risk AI, such as “critical infrastructure, education and vocational training, employment, essential private and public services (e.g. healthcare, banking), certain systems in law enforcement, migration and border management, justice and democratic processes (e.g. influencing elections).” The European Parliament also cited reactions from a few deputies, including the Internal Market Committee co-rapporteur Brando Benifei, who described is as “the world’s first binding law on artificial intelligence to reduce risks, create opportunities, combat discrimination and bring transparency.” “Thanks to Parliament, unacceptable AI practices will be banned in Europe and the rights of workers and citizens will be protected,” Benifei continued.
