The European Parliament adopted on Tuesday the final recommendations of its special committee on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the digital age (AIDA), which developed an AI roadmap for 2030.
The European Commission unveiled the new proposal for an EU regulatory framework on artificial intelligence (AI) in April 2021.
The draft AI act is the first-ever attempt to enact a horizontal regulation of AI.
The proposed legal framework focuses on the specific use of AI systems and associated risks, said the EU parliament in its document.
While generally supporting the Commission’s proposal, stakeholders and experts called for a number of amendments, including revising the definition of AI systems, broadening the list of prohibited AI systems, strengthening enforcement, ensuring proper democratic oversight of the design and implementation of EU AI regulation, according to the EU parliament.
The text argues that the public debate on the use of artificial intelligence should focus on its enormous potential to complement human capital.
Several policy options were identified that could unlock the potential of AI in different sectors, including health, the environment, and climate change.
Additionally, technology could help fight pandemics and global hunger as well as improve the quality of life of citizens through the creation of personalized medicines, according to the EU parliament.
The EU Commission aims to take the opportunity to put forward a reliable and human-centered approach to AI, based on fundamental rights.
The European Economic and Social Committee adopted its opinion on the proposed artificial intelligence act on September 22, 2021, according to the same source.
