EU, US rush to issue temporary standards for AI

The European Union's AI Act could be the world's first comprehensive law to regulate the technology, including new rules on facial recognition and biometric surveillance, but EU governments and lawmakers still need to agree on a common text.

Vestager, Vice President of the European Commission, said in a briefing on Tuesday that the process could be completed by the end of the year.

“It takes a year, if not two years, to come into effect, which means we need something to bridge that gap,” she said.

Vestager said AI will be a focus area at the fourth ministerial meeting of the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) in Sweden on May 30-31, with discussions on AI algorithms that generate new text, image or audio content, such as ChatGPT.

Leaders of G7 nations have called for the development of technical standards to keep AI “trustworthy”, urging international discussions on topics such as governance, copyright, transparency and the threat of disinformation.
