Explainer: EU gets new powers over powerful AI from Sunday
Starting Sunday, the European Union will enforce new regulations under the AI Act, empowering regulators to impose fines on companies violating AI laws. The legislation adopts a risk-based approach, imposing stricter obligations on firms based on the potential harm their AI systems may cause, while banning certain applications like predictive policing and emotion recognition in workplaces. Companies have until December 2 to comply with the new rules, which also require labeling AI-generated content and ensuring transparency in AI interactions.
