European Lawmakers are Voting on Tougher Rules for Artificial Intelligence

European lawmakers on Wednesday approved changes to draft AI rules to include a ban on using the technology for biometric monitoring and to force generative AI systems such as ChatGPT to disclose content generated by the technology.
It is believed that the amendments to the historical law proposed by the European Union Commission, which aims to protect citizens from the dangers of technology, may lead to a clash with European Union countries that oppose a complete ban on the use of technology in biometric surveillance.
The rapid adoption of (ChatGPT) from the Microsoft-backed company (OpenAI) and other chat bots has excited senior technologists and company executives, including: (Elon Musk) from Tesla, and (Sam) Altman from OpenAI, Potential Risks to Society.
“While big tech companies are sounding the alarm about their innovations, Europe has moved forward and proposed a concrete response to the risks that AI is starting to pose,” said Brando Benevi, co-rapporteur of the bill.
Among other changes, EU lawmakers are requiring any company using creation tools to disclose the copyrighted material used to train their systems, and companies working on a “high risk app” to do an impact assessment on basic rights and an environmental impact assessment.
