 The European Union's European Parliament has passed a draft of a law known as the AI Act. Here's some of the highlights in it. The Act bans the use of AI for predictive policing, real-time biometric ID in public like facial recognition, emotion recognition for law enforcement, border management, or workplace uses, and it also bans untargeted scraping of images from the internet or closed circuit television to create a facial recognition database. You can't just do the big wide net thing anymore. It categorizes applications by risk as well. So for example, video games and spam filters are in the lowest risk category. Apps that use AI to evaluate your credit risk or decide whether to issue a loan are examples in the highest risk category and those are where the strictest controls would be applied. Social media recommender systems, as they call it, were added to the high-risk category as well.
