A proposal for EU legislation intended to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) was expected to be made public later this week. But the Commission\u2019s draft proposal has been leaked in advance.<\/em><\/h4>\n

The Commission\u2019s draft regulation proposes a general prohibition on certain AI-systems used for mass surveillance and general social ranking, rules on AI-generated \u201cdeepfakes\u201d and turnover-based corporate fines for non-compliant practices.<\/em><\/h4>\n
