from the correspondent\u00a0in Strasbourg<\/em> – A Regulation “aimed at limiting risks and increasing opportunities, combating discrimination, bringing transparency and our democratic values of freedom and equality inside the development of artificial intelligence<\/strong>, while supporting innovation and competitiveness.” That’s how the rapporteur for the European Parliament on the EU AI Act<\/a>, Brando Benifei<\/strong> (Pd), describes the world’s first legislation governing the use and development of AI, which today (March 13) cleared another hurdle on the road to entry into force and now awaits\u00a0the final green light from the EU Council.<\/p>\n

With 523 votes in favor, 46 against, and 49 abstentions, MEPs meeting in plenary session gave the green light to the new Regulation on Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>, confirming the vast\u00a0majority already seen<\/a> a month ago in the joint committees on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) and LIBE (on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs). “We have included in the final text the part on transparency and safety of the most powerful models and environmental goals.\u00a0It very much reflects the priorities of the European Parliament,”\u00a0the Democratic Party’s head delegation assured, relaunching the work for the next legislature: “We have already asked the Commission for a specific directive for artificial intelligence in the workplace<\/strong>.” A topic\u00a0“partially covered” by the new Regulation, but that “requires further, more detailed work,” Benifei explained while speaking to the press. What is still missing for the publication in the EU Official Journal\u00a0is the final approval by the EU Council, which should not be particularly problematic after overcoming the stalemate\u00a0on February 2 among the ambassadors of the 27 Member States.<\/p>\n
