Europe mulls new tougher rules for artificial intelligence


European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has pledged her team would present a new legislative approach on artificial intelligence within the first 100 days of her mandate, which started Dec 1. — Reuters

The European Union is considering new legally binding requirements for developers of artificial intelligence in an effort to ensure modern technology is developed and used in an ethical way.

The European Commission is due to unveil the paper in mid-February and the final version is likely to change.
