‘The European Union wants to become the world's super-regulator in AI”,<\/strong> The Economis<\/a>t tells us. This is one of many headlines proliferating everywhere these days. And it is a big deal, no doubt. I've been pointing to the need for better rules on AI in many of my keynotes<\/a> for quite some time:) And now, Covid-19 has exponentially accelerated technological growth<\/a> which in turn has finally increased the urgency to regulate technology. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cFor now cited high risk examples fall into the following categories: Biometric identification and categorisation of natural persons; Management and operation of critical infrastructure; Education and vocational training; Employment, workers management and access to self-employment; Access to and enjoyment of essential private services and public services and benefits; Law enforcement; Migration, asylum and border control management; Administration of justice and democratic processes.\u201d<\/p>\n

“On artificial intelligence, trust is a must, not a nice to have,\u201d Margrethe Vestager, the European Commission executive vice president who oversees digital policy for the 27-nation bloc, said in a statement. \u201cWith these landmark rules, the E.U. is spearheading the development of new global norms to make sure A.I. can be trusted.”<\/p>The NY Times – Europe Proposes Strict Rules for Artificial Intelligence<\/a><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The severest fines, reserved for the most serious breaches of the rules \u2014 a fine of up to 6 per cent of a company\u2019s global revenue \u2014 might seem valid for those who use AI for something the EU has tried to ban outright. But that heavy penalty also applies to those not meeting the quality requirements for data sets used to train machine-learning models \u2014 one of the most common, and insidious, ways for bias to creep in.”<\/p>Financial Times – Europe\u2019s push on AI rules aims to recast global tech<\/a><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rules have far-reaching implications for major technology companies including Amazon, Google, Facebook and Microsoft that have poured resources into developing artificial intelligence, but also scores of other companies that use the technology in health care, insurance and finance. Governments have used versions of the technology in criminal justice and allocating public services.<\/p>THE NY TIMES – EUROPE PROPOSES STRICT RULES FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE<\/a><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is disappointing to see the leaders of democratic nations viewing AI with fear given the massive opportunities to cure diseases, avoid harms, distribute goods and services more efficiently, and create new jobs,\u201d said Stephen Messer, co-founder and vice chairman of Collective [i], an AI company focused on optimizing the sales process.<\/p>Wall Street Journal – Corporate Tech Leaders Are Mixed on EU Artificial Intelligence Bill<\/a><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
