On March 13th, the European Union's parliament passed a groundbreaking act to regulate artificial intelligence, marking a significant move towards ethical AI. This legislation, known as the EU AI Act, aims to balance innovation with the protection of fundamental rights by banning AI systems that pose an "unacceptable risk" and imposing stricter controls on those considered "high risk." The act covers a wide range of applications, including critical infrastructure, healthcare, and education, and introduces strict transparency requirements for General Purpose AI. To support the implementation of this comprehensive regulatory framework, the EU AI Office is actively seeking EU citizens with expertise in AI until March 27th, offering a high-impact opportunity to contribute to the regulation of general-purpose models such as GPT-4 and Claude 2. The act is seen as a landmark move that could shape global tech policies, emphasizing the protection of fundamental rights, health, and safety while maximizing AI's potential.
