The European Union is about to implement a comprehensive artificial intelligence regulation, which will have a profound impact on the global artificial intelligence industry. The European Parliament will vote on the EU Artificial Intelligence Bill on March 13. It is expected that the bill will be passed smoothly and fully come into effect in 2026, and some provisions will even take effect this year. The bill would grade the regulation of artificial intelligence applications based on their level of risk, and explicitly ban certain high-risk applications, such as emotion recognition systems in the workplace. Although the EU is not the first region to regulate artificial intelligence, its huge market size will make it a benchmark for global artificial intelligence regulation and have an important impact on the legislation of other countries and regions.
The European Union is close to passing comprehensive artificial intelligence regulations, and the European Parliament is scheduled to vote on the legislation on March 13. One lawmaker said the legislation was expected to pass easily. According to the timetable, the bill will basically take effect in 2026, and some provisions will take effect this year. The bill would regulate different uses of artificial intelligence based on risk, including bans on certain use cases, such as "emotion recognition" systems in the workplace. The EU will not be the first jurisdiction to regulate AI, but the size of the European market means the EU Artificial Intelligence Bill will have global ramifications.The passage of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act marks a new stage in global artificial intelligence regulation. Its risk level assessment mechanism and ban on high-risk applications will provide important reference and reference for the healthy development of global artificial intelligence. This indicates that the application of artificial intelligence will be more standardized and safer in the future, and will also have a profound impact on the development direction of artificial intelligence technology.
