🤖📜 EU’s AI Regulation Blueprint Adapting to Cutting-Edge Tech Developments 🌐🔧

The European Union has reached a political agreement on what is considered the world’s first comprehensive law for regulating artificial intelligence (AI). The law includes provisions for the EU Commission to update the AI rulebook as technology evolves. It introduces a classification system for AI models, with “general purpose” AI models like GPT-4 facing stringent regulations if they exceed a certain computational threshold. The law also mandates transparency measures such as watermarking AI-generated content and compliance with EU copyright rules. An AI Office will be established within the Commission to oversee the implementation and evolution of these regulations. The full regulation is expected to be enforced by 2026, with a phased approach to compliance.

• 🔄 The EU’s new AI law includes powers for the Commission to update the AI rulebook as technology evolves
• 🤖 The term “general purpose” is used for powerful AI models like GPT-4, ensuring futureproofing of the law
• ⚖️ AI models will be classified into low or high risk tiers, with high risk models facing stricter regulations
• 🔍 Generative AI outputs will require watermarking based on the state of the art technology to ensure transparency
