BRUSSELS, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — EU lawmakers and member states on Friday struck a deal on rules regulating artificial intelligence (AI).
“Historic! The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI,” said European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton late Friday following the conclusion of marathon talks that began on Wednesday.
“The AI Act is much more than a rulebook — it’s a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race,” Breton said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
