[News Article] Trustworthy ‘AI Love You’: European Union’s Approach for Artificial Intelligence
Leony Avellince Wimantha — FPCI Chapter Universitas Airlangga
To help further define its vision for AI, the European Commission developed an AI strategy to go hand in hand with the European approach to AI. The AI Strategy proposes steps to streamline research, as well as policy options for AI regulation, which are incorporated into the work on the AI package.
European proposal for a legal framework on AI
The commission ambitions to deal with the risks generated with the aid of precise uses of AI through a set of complementary, proportionate and flexible policies. Those guidelines can even provide Europe with a leading function in setting the global widespread. This framework gives AI developers, deployers and users the clarity they want by intervening only in those cases that present national and EU legislations do not cover. The legal framework for AI proposes a clear, easy to apprehend-approach based on four distinctive degrees of risk: unacceptable hazard, excessive threat, constrained chance and minimum risk.
Future-proof legislation
As AI is a fast evolving technology, the proposal has a future-proof approach, allowing rules to adapt to technological change. AI applications should remain trustworthy even after they have been placed on the market. This requires ongoing quality and risk management by providers.
Next steps?
Following the Commission’s proposal in April 2021, the regulation could enter into force in the second half of 2022 in a transitional period. In this period, standards would be mandated and developed. Also the governance structures a set up would be operational. The second half of 2024 is the earliest time the regulation could become applicable to operators with the standards ready and the first conformity assessments carried out.
