Artificial intelligence: European Commission proposes new rules and measures to ensure safety and protect fundamental rights

The European Commission has proposed new regulation with a view to increasing the trust of European people in the use of artificial intelligence (AI), such as in the area of employment. The proposals would involve rules that are proportionate to the specific risks associated with AI systems. Once adopted by the European Parliament and the Member States, these measures will be directly applicable throughout the EU. In parallel, the Commission will continue to work with Member States to implement the measures announced in the so-called coordinated plan on AI.
