According to the Daily Planet, the European Union is about to pass comprehensive and strict artificial intelligence regulations. The European Parliament is scheduled to vote on the legislation on March 13, and it is expected to pass easily. The bill will basically take effect in 2026, and some provisions will take effect this year. The bill would regulate different uses of artificial intelligence based on risk, including bans on certain use cases, such as "emotion recognition" systems in the workplace, which would be subject to maximum fines: 7% of global revenue or €35 million, whichever is higher Whichever prevails. While the EU is not the first jurisdiction to regulate artificial intelligence, the size of the European market means the EU Artificial Intelligence Act will have global ramifications.
