Artificial Intelligence (AI) - the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines - is having a growing impact on our lives. While the technology has the potential for good, fears have been raised that it presents significant risks to people’s rights and well-being. The European Union (EU) is set to create the world's first broad standards for regulating or banning certain uses of AI. The AI Act will establish a framework for assessing the relative risk of different kinds of AI systems. The European Parliament is expected to vote on the draft by the end of March 2023, with a view to adopting the Act by the end of 2023. The Act will extend to providers and users outside the EU where the output is used in the region. In this webinar AI experts examined the potential impact of the Act on consumers, businesses and technology vendors.
