The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) is the first law in the world to comprehensively address the challenges of developing Artificial Intelligence. The new EU legislation requires implementation in the EU Member States.
The AI Act was approved by the European Parliament on 21 May 2024. A large majority of MEPs voted in favour of the AI Act: 523 deputies were for, whereas only 46 -against. This means that many MEPs see the need to regulate this area and are concerned that the development of Artificial Intelligence will remain out of control.
