Representatives of the European Union (EU) are reportedly negotiating a plan to impose additional regulations on the largest artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The European Commission, European Parliament and EU member states are in talks about the potential impact of large language models (LLMs) in relation to additional restrictions that may be placed on them under the upcoming AI Law.
According to Bloomberg, sources familiar with the matter said the goal is to keep big models in check, not to stifle new startups with too much regulation.
According to sources, the agreement reached by negotiators on the issue is still at a preliminary stage.
The proposed new regulations for the AI Act and LLMs would be a similar approach to the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).
DSA was recently implemented by EU legislatures and ensures that platforms and websites have standards to protect user data and screen for illegal activities. However, the largest web platforms are subject to tighter controls.
Companies under this category are required to update their service practices by August 28 to comply with the new EU standards.
The EU's AI Law will be one of the first mandatory rules for AI imposed by a Western government. China has already enacted its own AI regulations, which come into force in August 2023.
Under the EU's AI regulations, companies that develop and implement AI systems are required to conduct risk assessments, label AI-generated content, and are banned entirely from the use of biometric surveillance, among other things.
However, the law has not yet come into force and member states still have the ability to disagree with the proposals put forward by the parliament.
It has been reported that since the implementation of AI laws in China, more than 70 new AI models have already been released.
