The EU trustworthy artificial intelligence: how the EU wants to regulate the artificial intelligence practices

Abstract

The European Union (EU) recently proposed in April 2021 an Artificial Intelligence legal framework. The EU highlights the advantages of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) specially in the areas of prediction, optimizing operations, resource allocation and personalizing service delivery. Nevertheless, the EU considers that the AI might bring new risks and negative consequences for individuals and society when an AI system violates the EU values and fundamental rights. This paper explains how the EU is proposing a legal framework for trustworthy AI. Tech or nontech companies and professionals should be aware about what kind of AI applications and practices might be prohibited or restricted within the EU. To be more specific, this paper focuses on what type or AI system can be considered as unacceptable risk, high or low risk AI.
