The AI Act is a legislative proposal by the European Commission aimed at regulating artificial intelligence technologies within the European Union. It categorizes AI systems based on their risk levels, from minimal to unacceptable, and establishes requirements for transparency, accountability, and safety. The Act seeks to ensure that AI systems are developed and used in a way that respects fundamental rights and democratic values. Common use cases include governance of AI deployment in sectors such as healthcare, transportation, and finance, ensuring ethical standards are met.
