The European Parliament has approved a mandate for the AI Act, which sets a rulebook for AI that aligns with EU's values of transparency, safety, and privacy. The act bans remote biometric surveillance and predictive policing and expands high-risk AI systems classification. MEPs also imposed stringent obligations on developers and added consumer rights. However, AI recognition systems emoting won't be banned. The next step is Trilogue, where discussions between EU Member States and the Parliament will take place. Overwhelming support from Parliament shows urgent need for regulations on AI.
The European Union is set to regulate AI tech, including biometric surveillance and emotion recognition. The ban aims to promote a human-centric approach while safeguarding fundamental rights and democracy. The AI Act sets the tone for worldwide development and governance.
