EU has reached a temporary deal with the European parliament regarding European Union rules that governs the use of Artificial intelligence including Government’s use of AI in biometric surveillance and regulation of AI systems such as ChatGPT from OpenAI and Bard from Google. They reached the deal on Friday (8 December).
With this political agreement, the EU is moving toward becoming the first major world power to enact laws governing AI. Friday's deal between EU countries and European Parliament members came after nearly 15 hours of negotiations that followed an almost 24-hour debate the previous day.
The two sides are set to hash out details in the coming days, which could change the shape of the final legislation.
"Europe has positioned itself as a pioneer, understanding the importance of its role as a global standard setter. This is yes, I believe, a historical day," European Commissioner Thierry Breton told a press conference.
