European Parliament has announced the adoption of recommendations from its Special Committee on Artificial Intelligence in a Digital Age to improve the EU's proposed Artificial Intelligence Act. Recommendations from the committee focussed on the enormous potential for AI to complement human labour and how regulatory oversight should be proportionate to the risk associated with the particular AI system use cases. The committee also suggested the proposed framework should prioritise international cooperation to safeguard fundamental rights in relation to surveillance systems powered by AI.
In related news, EURACTIV reports the Council of the European Union under French presidency put forward proposals for stronger enforcement and increased fines with the EU's proposed AI Act. The new compromise text recommended a fine scheme that considers a company's size, with the highest penalties limited to harms caused by things like social scoring or manipulative algorithms. The text also recommends bringing the proposed law into force three years after passage in order to help member state implementation and business adaptation.
