Governments have until August to designate the people who will enforce the bans even though they go into effect this Sunday.
The AI Act is a first in its kind to establish guidelines for how the novel systems can be used. The European Commission’s technical director Henna Virkkunen the bill last year as one that will “protect our people” while also being an “enabler for development”. Making protection for the developing technology is thought to be essential to enabling common use. Over the course of the next year and a half, other portions of the law will be eventually implemented.
The regulations underscore the EU’s status as the regulation force of choice in comparison to other parts of the world, where there are few similar regulations for the technology. Donald Trump, the president of the United States, ripped up an executive get from his father, President Joe Biden, regarding AI protection.
Brando Benifei, an Italian lawmaker who helped to negotiate the rules, said the bans aim to avoid that AI could be used for” societal control” or the” compression of our freedoms” . ,
” The restrictions are very much concentrated on one area of concern, which is linked to the safety of our governments”, he said.
Maintaining them could be noisy. In addition, German officers and immigration authorities are using a number of AI techniques, including real-time facial recognition in open spaces, and were able to secure lengthy lists of exemptions from the handbook to continue doing so.
