Feedback period on Artificial Intelligence Act open: make your voice heard until June 28th

The feedback period for the recently adopted proposal for an Artificial Intelligence Act (here) is now open (here, scroll down). This proposal has been long awaited and it is the first legislative framework at EU level to deal with AI. The goals of the proposed AI Act are to facilitate innovation and investment in AI, to guarantee safe AI, to improve the enforcement of laws applicable to AI, and to prevent market fragmentation. Among many aspects, the proposed Regulation suggests a definition of AI, prohibits certain AI practices (such as using AI systems to exploit a vulnerability of a group of persons), suggests a methodology to identify ‘high-risk’ AI systems, and imposes transparency obligations on AI systems intended to deal with natural persons (e.g. it should be obvious for the person that they are interacting with an AI system). Enforcement wise, it proposes the creation of a European Artificial Intelligence Board that will work closely with existing structures at Member State level. The feedback period runs from the 26^th of April until the 28^th of June 2021. All feedback received will feed the legislative debate. Make your voices heard and have your say about this impacting proposal!
