(VTC News) - When the European Union studies strategic standards for AI robots, it will greatly benefit people in the region.
Due to the increasing demand for local robotics in Europe, the main applications of AI robots are healthcare and agriculture . However, they are also being used in logistics and manufacturing. For this reason, Europe is facing challenges regarding the adaptability of the workforce and the safety of AI robots .

Therefore, according to Euronews, the European Commission plans to publish a strategic document applicable to the entire EU bloc by 2025. This document will ensure standards for promoting AI -powered robots across the European continent. Because the EU wants synergy in the development of AI robots, this is why they need a specific standard. Euronews also revealed part of the minutes of an internal EU meeting, which also confirms some of the European Union's plans. The minutes reveal that EU executive bodies will work closely with the 27 member states. Over two quarters in 2024, they will collaborate closely to develop a strategy for AI-powered robot manufacturing. According to the report, this strategy will encompass all aspects of AI robot application and development. This strategy will also link to other relevant plans of the European Commission (such as the AI in the Workplace Initiative and the AI Act). According to minutes from an internal expert group, this strategy will ensure that AI robots are deployed and used responsibly and ethically. The strategy will also address risks such as privacy, cybersecurity, transparency, and accountability in the AI robot category. Furthermore, the standard may provide for specific and appropriate corrective actions. Finally, member governments will be required to develop their own investment proposals and work with relevant authorities on AI robot standards. The European Commission is also planning to establish a so-called robotics observatory and will examine existing barriers to the development and adoption of AI robots.
