ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ACT: AGREEMENT REACHED TO REGULATE THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EUROPE

πŸ”· The European Parliament and the Council have reached a first agreement on the proposal relating to the regulation of the use of Artificial Intelligence systems. The European Union, after China, will therefore be the first country to equip itself with a regulatory framework on the matter. πŸ”΅ Following the political agreement, the ball then passes to the technicians for the drafting of the definitive text, which could see the light around mid-2024. πŸ”· The Artificial Intelligence Act aims to combine the need for AI systems placed on the market to be able to guarantee fundamental rights and EU values, with the aim of stimulating investments and, therefore, cutting Europe an industry-leading role. πŸ”΅ The basis always seems to be that of a harmonization, i.e. an ex ante protection which takes the form of processes for measuring the level of risk that AI systems can present with respect to fundamental human rights. The greater the risk, the more stringent the rules. πŸ”· In a note from the European Parliament we read that ” 𝑖 π‘π‘œπ‘šπ‘’ π‘Žπ‘‘ π‘Žπ‘™π‘‘π‘œ π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘ π‘β„Žπ‘–π‘œ (π‘Ž π‘π‘Žπ‘’π‘ π‘Ž 𝑑𝑒𝑙 π‘™π‘œ π‘Ÿπ‘œ π‘ π‘–π‘”π‘›π‘–π‘“π‘–π‘π‘Žπ‘‘π‘–π‘£π‘œ π‘π‘œπ‘‘π‘’π‘›π‘§π‘–π‘Žπ‘™π‘’ π‘‘π‘Žπ‘›π‘›π‘œ π‘Žπ‘™π‘™π‘Ž π‘ π‘Žπ‘™π‘’π‘‘π‘’, π‘Žπ‘™π‘™π‘Ž π‘ π‘–π‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘§π‘§π‘Ž, π‘Žπ‘– π‘‘π‘–π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘ 𝑑𝑖 π‘“π‘œπ‘›π‘‘π‘Žπ‘šπ‘’π‘›π‘‘π‘Žπ‘™π‘–, π‘Žπ‘™π‘™’π‘Žπ‘šπ‘π‘–π‘’π‘›π‘‘π‘’, π‘Žπ‘™π‘™π‘Ž π‘‘π‘’π‘šπ‘œπ‘π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘§π‘–π‘Ž 𝑒 π‘Žπ‘™π‘™π‘œ π‘†π‘‘π‘Žπ‘‘π‘œ 𝑑𝑖 π‘‘π‘–π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘‘π‘‘π‘œ ), π‘ π‘œπ‘›π‘œ π‘ π‘‘π‘Žπ‘‘π‘– π‘π‘œπ‘›π‘π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘‘π‘Žπ‘‘π‘– π‘œπ‘π‘π‘™π‘–π‘”β„Žπ‘– π‘β„Žπ‘– π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘–β€.

Precisely, 35 million Euros or 7% for violations relating to prohibited AI applications, 15 million Euros or 3% for violations of the obligations of the AI Regulation and 7.5 million Euros or 1.5 % for providing inaccurate information. On the other hand, more proportionate ceilings are also foreseen for administrative fines for SMEs and start-ups.
