The world’s first comprehensive regulation of its kind, The Artificial Intelligence Act, is designed to ensure that AI developed and utilised in the EU is trustworthy and safeguards fundamental human rights.<\/a><\/p>\n The AI Act aims to foster a harmonious internal market for AI technologies while encouraging innovation and investment.<\/p>\n Thierry Breton, Commissioner for Internal Market, commented: “Today marks a major milestone in Europe’s leadership in trustworthy AI.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the entry into force of the AI Act, European democracy has delivered an effective, proportionate and world-first framework for AI, tackling risks and serving as a launchpad for European AI start-ups.”<\/p>\n The AI Act adopts a forward-thinking approach to defining AI, categorising systems based on their risk levels:<\/p>\n Most AI systems, including AI-enabled recommender systems and spam filters, fall into the minimal risk category.<\/p>\n These systems, deemed to pose a negligible threat to citizens’ rights and safety, face no obligations under the AI Act.<\/p>\n However, companies can choose to voluntarily adopt additional codes of conduct to enhance transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n Certain AI systems, such as chatbots, must clearly inform users that they are interacting with a machine.<\/p>\nDefining AI through a safety and risk-based lens<\/h3>\n
