The negotiators of the European Parliament and the Council (governments) have achieved this Friday, after more than 35 hours of negotiation, close a historic agreement to establish the first rules with which to limit the risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
“Agreement!”, the Commissioner for Industry and Digital Services, the French liberal Thierry Breton, wrote on social networks, along with a graphic to highlight that the European Union is the only region in the world with a regulation.
Historic!
The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI ????????
The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook — it’s a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race.

Los negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council They began on Wednesday what was called to be the last round of negotiations for an agreement that was not finally reached until late Friday, after overcoming the last obstacles regarding biometric surveillance and its use by security forces.
Another key has been how to introduce specific rules for the foundational models, such as the ChatGPT or DALL-E platforms, which came to light after the European Commission presented its first regulation proposal, so this chapter has been developed during the course of the negotiation.
The objective of the new European regulation is to establish security standards and fundamental rights that prevent technology from being used for repressive, manipulative or discriminatory purposes; but without translating into hyperregulation that hinders competitiveness of the European Union.
