The law includes the following provisions:

– Artificial intelligence systems used in European Union (EU) countries must be safe and respect fundamental rights.
– Artificial intelligence systems will be regulated based on a risk-based approach according to their potential to cause harm to society.
– Some uses of artificial intelligence will be deemed unacceptable, and the use of these systems will be prohibited.
– Biometric classification for extracting sensitive data such as facial images, emotion recognition, social scoring, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs from the internet or closed-circuit camera system images will be prohibited.
– Artificial intelligence that manipulates human behavior or exploits human vulnerabilities will be banned.
– Law enforcement authorities may use artificial intelligence in exceptional circumstances, such as preventing terrorist attacks or identifying missing persons, with legal permission to use real-time remote biometric identification systems in public areas.
– Stricter rules will be applied to high-risk artificial intelligence systems. Artificial intelligence systems in critical infrastructure, education, employment, healthcare, public services, banking, migration and border management, and democratic processes such as elections will be classified as high-risk.
– These systems will require risk assessment, risk mitigation, record-keeping, transparency, and human oversight.
– Special rules will be introduced for large systems capable of performing a wide range of different tasks such as generating video, text, images, speaking in other languages, performing calculations, or writing computer code. These “general purpose artificial intelligence” systems must comply with various transparency criteria before being released to the market. Failure to comply with the rules may result in fines proportional to the company’s global turnover.
– Artificially generated audio or video content must be clearly labeled as such.

The law will come into effect two years after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

With the new law, various artificial intelligence technologies such as Google’s artificial intelligence model Gemini and ChatGPT will need to comply with the new regulations.
