Antonina Burlachenko, Head of Quality and Regulatory Consulting at Star, outlines the ways businesses will be affected by the EU AI Act and explains what businesses must do to prepare for this.<\/h2>\n
The EU\u2019s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act as voted on by the European Parliament last month has been described as the \u201ctoughest set of rules on AI in the world\u201d as concerns over the potential risks of the technology are debated and calls for regulation grow louder.<\/p>\n
As the first law on AI by a major regulator, the proposed legislation aims to provide developers and users with clear requirements and obligations regarding AI.<\/p>\n
The EU AI Act focuses on managing risk and strengthening rules around AI use that align with EU values. This includes issues like data quality, transparency, human oversight, and accountability, but also looks to address more ethical questions around privacy and non-discrimination.<\/p>\n
At its heart, the AI Act defines a classification system that defines the level of risk an AI technology might pose \u2013 unacceptable risk, high risk, low or minimal risk. For example, AI-based systems such as spam filters or video games are regarded as low risk, while real-time biometric identification systems in public spaces would be categorised as unacceptable.<\/p>\n
