On December 9, 2023, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers of the European Union reached a temporary political agreement on the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). Recently, the European Parliament passed the Artificial Intelligence Act with 523 votes in favor, 46 votes against and 49 abstentions, which lasted for three years. As the first important regulation regulating AI in the world, the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act will be an important reference direction for countries to formulate regulations and build governance for artificial intelligence in the future.

Please read on.

In fact, this "Artificial Intelligence Law" was put forward in September 2021. The content of this law mainly divides the security risks caused by artificial intelligence into minimal risk, high-risk, unacceptable risk and specific transparency risks, which shows that the risk caused by AI to human security is important for making laws and regulations and making punishments.

The threat of artificial intelligence

As far as the European Union's "Artificial Intelligence Law" is concerned, it is planned in the direction of endangering human life from shallow to deep. It contains unacceptable risk, which shows that it must be strictly prohibited to influence society and even social fairness by manipulating AI system. The high-risk harm caused by AI system in the Law of Artificial Intelligence emphasizes that AI, which causes "distorted information, biometric tracking, or intrusion into social organizations", is harmful to human basic rights and interests, and must be strictly controlled and restricted. However, in the content of the bill, the minimal risk can be exempted from supervision, such as the "generative AI" in the game market and the automatic filtering of junk mail, and there will not be too many restrictions.

This is because the purpose of EU's legislation is to reduce the risks and disasters caused by AI automation when human beings are faced with full automation, and its intention is not to "completely ban the use of AI". In the era of advanced information technology, automatic generation or the use of intelligent tools can indeed save human time and cost and improve efficiency. However, when science and technology gradually threaten the living space of human beings, whether artificial intelligence will replace human beings will become a "problem that has to be considered."
