An alleged draft of the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act has been leaked online, shedding light on how and exactly when Europe will regulate contentious issues such as biometric surveillance.
The document was shared with EU countries, ahead of a discussion within the Telecom Working Party, an EU Council technical body focused on regulating the IT sector. The meeting will be followed by a formal adoption at the ambassador level on February 2nd. Comments from stakeholders to Tech Monitor suggest a shorter timeline for implementation than previously understood.
