Outside Voices: Euronews on the EU’s Approach – Binding Rules, With a Delay

Euronews describes the EU AI Act as sorting systems into four risk tiers, with unacceptable uses such as social scoring and manipulation banned outright. Industry lobbying won a delay to rules for high-risk systems through the AI Omnibus bill. In August, ChatGPT was added to the Digital Services Act's list of very large digital services.

Brussels has also proposed an EU Kids Act that would ban chatbots from "simulating interpersonal relationships in ways that create emotional dependency." The article gives European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's view that the rules put "Europe in the position to shape global efforts."
