Abstract

The proposed EU legislation on AI aims to regulate the development and use of artificial intelligence systems in the European Union. This legislation focuses on the classification of AI systems according to their level of risk, establishing specific requirements for high-risk systems. It also establishes transparency and traceability obligations for AI systems, as well as a series of prohibitions and restrictions for their use in certain areas, such as mass surveillance and the manipulation of individual behaviors.


The proposed AI legislation also addresses ethical and social issues and is concerned with ensuring that AI systems are developed and used responsibly, protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals. Additionally, the legislation seeks to promote innovation and competitiveness in the EU in the field of AI, ensuring a clear and predictable framework for providers and users of these technologies.


The proposed legislation is based on a number of key principles, such as transparency, accountability, non-discrimination, and the protection of privacy and personal data. It also establishes a framework for supervision and control to ensure compliance with these obligations and to sanction those who fail to comply.
