REGULATION (EU) 2024/… OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 13 June 2024 laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence and amending Regulations (EC) No 300/2008, (EU) No 167/2013, (EU) No 168/2013, (EU) 2018/858, (EU) 2018/1139 and (EU) 2019/2144 and Directives 2014/90/EU, (EU) 2016/797 and (EU) 2020/1828 (Artificial Intelligence Act)
This regulation establishes a comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence in the European Union, introducing harmonized rules across Member States. It classifies AI systems based on a risk-based approach, prohibiting certain unacceptable AI practices, imposing strict requirements on high-risk AI systems, and laying down transparency rules for specific AI applications. Additionally, it establishes governance structures at both the national and Union levels, including the European Artificial Intelligence Board and the AI Office, while supporting innovation through regulatory sandboxes.
