European Union: Adopted LIBRE and IMCO's position on AI Act including service access restrictions for AI systems posing “unacceptable risk”

Description

Adopted LIBRE and IMCO's position on AI Act including service access restrictions for AI systems posing “unacceptable risk”

On 11 May 2023, the European Parliament Committees on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) and Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) adopted their position on the Act on Harmonised Rules for Artificial Intelligence (AI Act), including service access restrictions for AI systems posing “unacceptable risk”. In particular, under the LIBRE and IMCO draft AI Act “unacceptable risk” AI systems are defined as those violating fundamental rights, manipulating behaviour or targeting vulnerable groups. Furthermore, AI social-scoring systems for general purposes by public authorities would also be prohibited. The subsequent legislative procedure is for the European Parliament to endorse the draft in plenary during the session in June 2023.
