Artificial intelligence: The first measures of the European AI Act regulation take effect
Feb 02, 2025
On Sunday, February 02, 2025, some new rules for artificial intelligence (AI) will start in Europe. This is a big deal and will be discussed at a summit in Paris.
These rules will ban using AI in certain ways. For example, AI can't be used to give people a social rating, predict if someone will commit a crime, or recognize emotions at work or school. It also can't identify people by their race or political beliefs. Some exceptions are made for safety reasons.
This is important because AI is powerful and can be used in good or bad ways. The European Union wants to make sure AI is used in ethical and safe ways.
At the summit in Paris, leaders from around the world will talk about these new rules and how they can work together on AI. The goal is to make sure AI benefits everyone and is used responsibly.
It's important to pay attention to these rules and discussions about AI because it affects how technology is used in our world. We want to make sure AI helps make our lives better and safer for everyone.
