  • EU’s AI Act aims to ensure that fundamental rights, democracy, rule of law and environmental sustainability are protected from high risk AI, while boosting innovation.

 

  • Key highlights of AI Act
    • EU AI act defines 4 levels of risk- for AI systems: 
      • Unacceptable risk (Prohibition): Violation of EU Fundamental Rights.
      • High-risk (Require conformity assessment and monitoring): Impact on health, safety Fundamental Rights, etc.
      • Specific Transparency risk (Require Information and transparency obligations): Risk of manipulation, impersonation, etc.
      • Minimal risk (No specific regulations): Common AI systems like spam filters.
    • General-purpose AI models with systemic risks are mandated to assess and mitigate risks, report serious incidents, conduct state-of-the-art tests, etc.
    • Use of real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces (i.e. facial recognition using CCTV) is prohibited with few exceptions.
    • Tackling racial and gender bias: High-risk systems need to be trained with sufficiently representative datasets to minimise the risk of biases.

 

  • Steps taken by India promote AI
    • Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology issued an Advisory directing all platforms to label any under-trial/unreliable AI models, and secure explicit prior approval from government before deploying such models.
