Members of the European Parliament have made final minor adjustments to the proposed EU Artificial Intelligence Act ahead of a parliamentary committee vote on 11 May. Final changes were made to provisions for foundation models and generative AI, high-risk systems, prohibited practices, governance and enforcement.
