MEPs discuss Artificial Intelligence definition, governance
The definition of Artificial Intelligence and how the new EU’s rulebook for this emerging technology will be implemented is the focus of a political meeting on Wednesday (9 November). The discussions on the upcoming AI Act have mainly progressed on the technical side in the past weeks.
On the agenda for Wednesday’s discussion is the definition of AI systems, a fundamental building block to making the regulation future-proof since this technology is still at a relatively early stage of development. In this regard, the most significant change is that the definition was moved from Annex I to an article.
The AI definition will likely need further political discussions, as the European Parliament is still far from a shared view. Conservative MEPs, in particular, are pushing for a narrower definition of AI.
