EU Adopts Landmark AI Law: All You Need to Know | Vantage with Palki Sharma

EU Adopts Landmark AI Law: All You Need to Know | Vantage with Palki Sharma
The European Parliament gave the final nod to far-reaching rules on artificial intelligence that the EU hopes will both harness innovation and defend against harms. Outright bans on forms of AI considered highest-risk will kick in later this year, while rules on systems like ChatGPT will apply 12 months after the law enters into force, and the rest of the provisions in 2026. Palki Sharma tells you all you need to know about the new law.

I applaud the EU for being responsible as politicians responding to the dangers and responsible use of AI. This is a hallmark decision by the EU to create the AI act with regulations and fines for violations. Repeated violators of the act regulations will leave the EU with no option but to revisit the act with zero tolerance to protect innocent humanity from any dangers etc . Great reporting Palki. Keep up the good work

At least this was a start. But the fines are meaningless to mega corporations, and will only apply to small developers. The exceptions for military and national security use are also very dangerous, because national security is a very nebulous concept, and can be applied everywhere you choose to apply it. Human oversight for extremely dangerous systems is a nice idea, but often not practical as AI systems are becoming so huge, fast and complex that humans simply cannot keep up.

[@techpiller2558]

There is criminally little coverage on European news outlets about what the EU is brewing. Due to this, nobody knows what is going on, and thus nobody can voice their opinions. This AI law seems harmless, but there are other examples where things went downhill. I think the people in the parliament think they know better, and they don't even want the feedback. There should be news articles, opinion polls, discussions. People should be able to voice their opinions and contribute. Of course companies too, in some cases the laws restrict companies also a lot, makes me wonder if the lobbying is working. Take the supplement legislation, for example. No supplement company can practically make any claims whatsoever in the label, LOL. The law is so strict. Should be backed by some hard core scientific paper for the exact same dose on the milligram. And I mean reasonable, well known things about the supplements, such as caffeine makes you more awakeful. I think it that is a suffocating way of legislation. Like the mother that sanitizes everything, and the children become allergic to everything and weak.

These are only a couple of examples. I could go on all day long. I agree they need laws, but not against AI. Instead they need laws on how AI is used.
