The EU Artificial Intelligence Act is regulation designed to ensure the safe and ethical development and use of artificial intelligence within the European Union.

Understanding EU AI Act
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) is a comprehensive regulatory framework by the European Union to govern the development, deployment, and use of artificial intelligence technologies. The Act classifies AI systems into four risk categories: unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal. High-risk AI systems, which include applications in critical sectors like healthcare, transportation, and law enforcement, are subject to stringent requirements for data quality, transparency, accountability, and human oversight to ensure safety and fundamental rights are protected. The Act also bans certain AI practices deemed too dangerous, such as social scoring by governments. By setting these standards, the EU AI Act aims to promote innovation and trust in AI, ensuring its benefits are realized in a safe and ethical manner across the European Union.
