The EU adopts the first law on Artificial Intelligence that has enjoyed broad support within the European Parliament and whose entry into force will take place gradually between 2025 and 2026.
With this new standard, the EU aims to guarantee respect for the fundamental rights of its citizens, as well as the highest possible degree of security of AI systems, all in a balanced way, without hindering technological development or investment and innovation in AI. . To this end, a series of prohibited practices are established, as well as categories for AI systems based on the potential risks they entail for citizens, however establishing a sufficiently flexible framework to allow their application to future technological developments.
Regarding the scope of application of the standard, it will affect both suppliers, deployment managers and users who are established in the EU, as well as those who are located in third countries but are used in the territory of the Union.
