The EU reaches a deal on the AI Act, a comprehensive attempt to limit the use of the technology; the law still needs to go through a few steps for approval

The agreement over the A.I. Act solidifies one of the world's first comprehensive attempts to limit the use of artificial intelligence.

    The 🇪🇺 AI Act is a global first. A unique legal framework for the development of AI you can trust. And for the safety and fundamental rights of people and businesses. A commitment we took in our political guidelines - and we delivered. I welcome today's political agreement.

    Historic! The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI 🇪🇺 The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook — it's a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race. The best is yet to come! 👍 [video]

    Deal! #AIAct [image]

    The EU has finalised the AI Act after days of deliberations - it does not include foundation models (these underpin chatbots) - doesn't ban emotional recognition systems, despite inaccuracy issues - focuses on high risk systems https://www.bbc.com/...

    Nice work! Explains why Europe has zero tech industry and so much of its best talent decides they have a brighter future in America. [image]

    #AIAct trilogue: it's a wrap! After 36 hours of intense negotiations, EU policymakers have reached a provisional deal on the world's first AI law. Much technical work remains, and it might take weeks to consolidate the text. More details to follow on the political agreement.

    You have to realize there's a demoralized core of European engineers... All stuck behind this Great Wall of European nostalgia, an attempt to freeze the clock, as vitality seeps away from what once birthed the Enlightenment

    But remember. The ePrivacy Directive was agreed in 2002 and we still don't have a revised instrument that addresses changes in technology & privacy implications

    We have a deal on the #AIAct! ✅ After years of work and sleepless nights of negotiations, the EU finishes the first global landmark regulation on #AI. This is a huge step for the EU and for fundamental rights.
  • @klyngec Casper Klynge on x
    PoW: Jury still very much out on whether the EU managed to sweetspot the first ever binding AI regulation or whether this will stifle innovation in Europe. One thing clear though: Compliance requirements will be major challenge for the backbone of Europe's economy: The SME's.

    Technically, nothing passed — it only passes when plenary and COREPER agree with trilogue deal. #nerdmode
  • @mantelero Alessandro Mantelero on x
    The result is remarkable, but the journey will still be long. As academics, we have months and years ahead to delve deeper into the #AIAct and help make this outcome of a compromise political agreement a key element of EU digital society regulation.

    Habemus papam. Which papam? No one knows because it's a closed-door negotiation and we might or might not find out if it all makes sense next week. #EUisAFarse
  • @edwinhayward Edwin Hayward on x
    The EU set out the world's first comprehensive rules governing the development and use of AI. Only time will tell if they've made the right choices, but it positions them well in the race to further AI, because established players and startups have a clear framework to work to.
  • @infofannny Fanny Hidvegi on x
    At least these two days are over. And now I can start eating my hat because before yesterday I would have never guessed that they will squeeze a deal out of this situation. #AIAct
  • @axelvossmdep Axel Voss MdEP on x
    @EPPGroup But let's be clear: we tried to make the best out of an unworkable approach to #AI. We are still NOT convinced that this is the right way to make sure Europe stays competitive in AI. Innovation will still take place elsewhere. Here, we missed our shot.
  • @ep_president Roberta Metsola on x
    A historic moment for digital Europe. I welcome the landmark deal on the new #AIAct. An avant-garde, responsible, comprehensive legislation that sets global standards. Europe has led and has delivered. Thank you @brandobenifei, @IoanDragosT and @Europarl_EN team. [video]

    @ThierryBreton ... Begging Europe to continue regulating yourselves so American can win 💪

    Let's not legalize the untargeted use of facial recognition by law enforcement in the AI Act, please? https://cdt.org/...

    Well, the AI Act deal is finally done. Here are the prohibitions we ended up with. [image]

    Does anyone have the full text of the AI Act? Asking for a *literally everyone*
