The Civil Liberties (LIBE) and Internal Market (IMCO) committees of the European Parliament have endorsed a provisional agreement on landmark AI rules ahead of a vote by the legislative assembly in April. The committees voted 71-8, with seven abstentions, in favour of the compromise negotiated with EU member states in trilogue talks held at the end of the previous year.
Earlier this month, 27 EU countries unanimously approved a deal reached in December on the AI Act, which aims to better control governments’ use of AI in biometric surveillance and how to regulate AI systems.
