On Saturday, August 2nd, new transparency regulations for artificial intelligence took effect in the European Union.
This was reported by DW.
These regulations pertain to systems such as ChatGPT and Gemini, which can be utilized for generating text, images, or programming.
According to the new rules, AI developers are required to disclose the operational principles of their models and the data used for training. The most advanced models, deemed as potential risks to the public, must document safety measures taken. These changes also aim to protect intellectual property and the rights of content creators.
Individuals can file lawsuits against AI for such violations starting August 2nd. The new European AI oversight body (European AI Office) will begin evaluating new models from August 2026, while models released before August 2nd, 2025, will be examined from August 2027. Experts estimate that potential fines could reach $17.1 million, which represents 3% of the annual revenue of the AI service market.
As reported by Ukrinform, last March, the European Parliament passed a bill regulating artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act).
This law came into effect in the European Union on August 1, 2024.
Its purpose is to ensure that artificial intelligence developed and used in the EU is trustworthy and has safeguards for fundamental human rights. The law aims to create a harmonized internal market for artificial intelligence in the EU, encourage the adoption of this technology, and foster a favorable environment for innovation and investment.
