KI -Systeme mit „inakzeptables Risiko“ sind jetzt in der EU verboten

From the article: As of Sunday in the European Union, the bloc’s regulators can ban the use of AI systems they deem to pose “unacceptable risk” or harm.

February 2 is the first compliance deadline for the EU’s AI Act, the comprehensive AI regulatory framework that the European Parliament finally approved last March after years of development. The act officially went into force August 1; what’s now following is the first of the compliance deadlines.

The [specifics are set](https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/article/5/) out in Article 5, but broadly, the Act is designed to cover a myriad of use cases where AI might appear and interact with individuals, from consumer applications through to physical environments.

Under the bloc’s approach, there are four broad risk levels: (1) Minimal risk (e.g., email spam filters) will face no regulatory oversight; (2) limited risk, which includes customer service chatbots, will have a light-touch regulatory oversight; (3) high risk — AI for healthcare recommendations is one example — will face heavy regulatory oversight; and (4) unacceptable risk applications — the focus of this month’s compliance requirements — will be prohibited entirely.

Hahaha. They might be banned but people will still use them. Nothing can stop this. It’s like banning crypto.

Good to see some countries are capable of rational regulation.

The effort by the EU to own-goal is hilariously sad due to how frequently it happens.

If you guys spent half the effort on building up your military defense, you truly wouldn’t need the US to cover your ass.

That just means AI has to go through the same sort of conformity evaluation as any other product in EU. Risk assessments and mitigations are the core of CE evaluations, its the same basic idea with anything from toothpick to airplane.

Should ban social media apps with the same kind of risk…

Seems like a great idea I’m sure other countries will follow lmao
