The EU Has Established Ethical Principles For AI

The European Union Commission has published a document of principles designed to outline a policy for the development and use of artificial intelligence in the European Union for the coming years. The purpose of the rules and actions is to make Europe a reliable global center for artificial intelligence (AI).

The incorporation of the first-ever legal framework (April 2021) will ensure the safety and fundamental rights of people and businesses while boosting the use of artificial intelligence, investment, and innovation across the EU.

A multidisciplinary team of experts established seven guiding principles for AI developments, including transparency of operation, equal access, race and physical limitations, and preventing the use of artificial intelligence to reduce human independence.
