TLDR: The AI Act, first proposed in 2021, will govern any product or service that uses an artificial intelligence system. The act will classify AI systems according to four levels of risk, from minimal to unacceptable. Riskier applications will face tougher requirements, including being more transparent and using accurate data. Think about it as a “risk management system for AI,” said Johann Laux, an expert at the Oxford Internet Institute. Some things are outlawed completely: Social Scoring systems, predictive policing, most facial recognition except in detecting specific terrorist activity, anything that uses subliminal manipulation or that could harm vulnerable people like children.
