After months of wrangling, the European Parliament has signed off on the world’s first comprehensive law to govern artificial intelligence (AI).
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voted 523 in favor and 46 against, with 49 abstentions, approving a text that had already been agreed in principle by the European Union’s 27 member states in December 2023.
According to the final text, the regulation aims to promote the “uptake of human-centric and trustworthy AI, while ensuring a high level of protection for health, safety, fundamental rights and environmental protection against harmful effects of artificial intelligence systems.”
