Europe Seeks To Limit Use Of AI In Society
https://www.bbc.comThe use of facial recognition for surveillance, or algorithms that manipulate human behaviour, will be banned under proposed EU regulations on artificial intelligence. And any companies that develop prohibited services, or fail to supply correct information about them, could face fines of up to 4% of their global revenue.
Experts said the rules were vague and contained loopholes.
The suggested list of banned AI systems includes:
- those designed or used in a manner that manipulates human behaviour, opinions or decisions …causing a person to behave, form an opinion or take a decision to their detriment
- AI systems used for indiscriminate surveillance applied in a generalised manner
- AI systems used for social scoring
- those that exploit information or predictions and a person or group of persons in order to target their vulnerabilities
The details could change again before the rules are officially unveiled next week. And it is unlikely to become law for several more years.
