On August 1, a significant milestone in AI regulation was reached with the introduction of the EU AI Act. This legal framework could become a global benchmark for managing artificial intelligence, much like the GDPR became synonymous with data protection in 2016.
Let’s unpack the essence of the new law and its potential implications for the gaming sector, where AI is becoming a core innovation driver.
The Core of the EU AI Act
The EU AI Act establishes clear, standardized rules for AI technologies within the European Union. It ensures that AI solutions interacting with EU citizens meet strict safety, transparency, and ethical standards. Notably, companies outside the EU that provide AI-based services or products to its residents are also required to comply.
What sets this legislation apart is its risk-based framework: the level of regulatory scrutiny depends on the potential risks an AI system poses.
