Europe Proposes Strict Rules for Artificial Intelligence --The New York Times

Google's CEO Sundar Pichai argued that 'AI should be regulated' and 'ethically' as giants in the information technology industry, such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft, devote a great deal of resources to AI development. In recent years, discussions on AI regulation have become more active, with reports saying that the development of AI that goes against it should be stopped. In this context, the European Commission said, 'AI solves a wide range of social problems, but only if AI is developed and used in a way that is of high quality and can be trusted by people.' He said, and submitted a new law to Congress to confirm that the AI system used in the EU is 'safe, ethical, unbiased and under human control'.
The new law classifies each area where AI is used into four categories: 'unacceptable risk,' 'high risk,' 'limited risk,' and 'minimum risk,' and applies different restrictions to each category. ..
Areas defined as 'unacceptable risk' are 'clear to EU citizens' such as a system similar to China's Social Credit System, which ranks and manages all citizens, and AI assistants that encourage dangerous behavior of children. It can be regarded as a threat, and is subject to a total ban. “High risk” refers to infrastructure such as transportation that can endanger the lives and health of citizens, and academic relationships, employment and labor that can influence the course of education, vocational training, exam scoring, etc. It covers a wide range of labor relations such as personnel management and immigration / border management, and it is said that careful evaluation can be continued not only before the start of operation but also after the start of operation.
Areas identified as 'limited risk' are systems that support informed decision making, such as chatbots, with minimal transparency obligations. 'Minimum risk' is AI used in applications such as video games and spam filters, and this category is not subject to restrictions.
This new law 'European approach for Artificial Intelligence' can be downloaded and viewed from the following.

According to reports based on prior leak information, companies that violated this law were fined up to 20 million euros (about 2.6 billion yen) or up to 4% of sales, but in reality The bill submitted to Congress states that 'the most serious violations will be fined up to 6% of the world's annual revenue.' However, the Wall street journal of the American letter states that 'it is unlikely that you will actually be fined the highest amount.'
The bill submitted to Congress has been accused of being 'ambiguous and with too many loopholes,' while 'the cost of developing AI in the EU will be exorbitant or technically impossible and will be overtaken by China.' Is rising. The bill will need to be approved by both the European Council and the European Parliament, so it is expected that it will take several years to come into force.
