Starting today, the European Union enforces strict regulations on AI systems deemed high-risk. Companies violating these rules may face substantial fines.

Main Provisions of the AI Act

The AI Act, approved by the European Parliament last March, came into effect in August. Companies in the EU must comply with its requirements. Violators face fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue, whichever is higher.

Prohibited AI Systems

The EU has banned AI systems that manipulate human behavior or exploit vulnerabilities, as well as those that assess people by behavior or appearance for predicting crimes. Biometric surveillance and emotion-detection in schools and workplaces are also forbidden.

Corporate Reactions

Over 100 tech companies, including Google and Amazon, signed a voluntary pledge to comply with EU rules, while Meta and Apple refused due to innovation concerns. The AI Act allows law enforcement to use biometric AI systems under specific conditions.

The EU's new rules pose a significant challenge for the AI industry, requiring adherence to strict standards of safety and ethics to protect users from the risks associated with artificial intelligence.
