The EU’s AI Act was approved by the European Parliament, marking a significant step in regulating AI. The Act will ban certain AI uses, require labeling of AI-generated content, establish a new European AI Office, and enforce transparency from AI companies. The Act aims to address potential harms and ensure ethical use of AI.
The AI Act: What Middle Managers Need to Know
1. AI Use Cases Banned
The EU’s AI Act will outlaw high-risk AI uses in healthcare, education, and policing by the end of the year. It also bans ambiguous uses like subliminal techniques and real-time facial recognition in public places.
2. Transparency in AI Interactions
Tech companies will be required to label deepfakes and AI-generated content, making it easier to detect misinformation. However, detection technology still needs development.
3. Citizen Complaints and Explanation
The AI Act sets up a new European AI Office, allowing citizens to complain about AI harm and receive explanations for AI decisions. However, citizen AI literacy is crucial for this to be effective.
4. AI Company Transparency
AI companies in high-risk sectors will have new obligations, including better data governance and transparency in model development. Companies with powerful AI models will face more stringent requirements and potential fines for non-compliance.
