The new Artificial Intelligence Act in the EU represents a fundamental shift in the regulation of this technology. This regulatory framework establishes strict criteria for the development and use of AI systems in Europe , classifying them according to their level of risk. From prohibiting high-risk AI applications to implementing audits and transparency mechanisms, the law seeks to balance innovation with the safety and rights of citizens.
For technology companies and AI , this means a transformation in how they design, train, and deploy their artificial intelligence models. Stricter regulations will be imposed on applications involving automated decision-making in sensitive areas such as recruitment, healthcare, and justice.
A key aspect of this regulation is accountability for AI algorithms . Companies will have to ensure that their models are auditable and understandable, avoiding biases in artificial intelligence that could affect certain social groups. For example, detailed reports on AI training data and measures to mitigate potential errors will be required .
Another key point is transparency in generative AI systems , such as chatbots and content generation models. The law will require these systems to clearly inform users when they are interacting with AI and not a human, a step forward in the ethics of artificial intelligence .
In this article we explain how AI regulation in Europe will affect developers and companies, and how Brain and Code is preparing professionals to adapt to this new scenario.
