About EU AI Act¶

The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence. Its key aims are to:

Address risks to health, safety and fundamental rights posed by AI systems (Recital 1, 5)
Protect democracy, rule of law and the environment (Recital 5)
Enhance trust in AI to increase adoption and innovation (Recital 6)
Provide legal certainty for AI providers and users (Recital 6)
Harmonize rules across the EU to prevent market fragmentation (Recital 6)

AI systems may jeopardise fundamental rights such as the right to non-discrimination, freedom of expression, human dignity, personal data protection and privacy. (Recital 4)
Act aims to develop a 'human-centric' approach to AI to ensure that Europeans can benefit from new technologies developed and functioning according to the EU's values and principles. (Recital 5)
