The new rules for artificial intelligence are a set of guidelines developed by the European Commission to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the European Union. These guidelines aim to promote the responsible and ethical use of AI, ensuring that the fundamental rights of European Union citizens are respected.

The introduction of this new regulatory framework raises many questions, which is why the European Commission through this Q&A page provides clarifications and interpretations of these new requirements.

It thus specifies the content of these new rules for AI, which include guidance on how AI should be developed and used, as well as on the responsibilities of companies and organizations that use AI. They also include provisions on the transparency and responsibility of AI, as well as on the mechanisms for controlling and regulating AI.

The Commission states that the new legislation applies to all forms of AI, whether autonomous or not, and aims to ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically, while protecting the fundamental rights of European Union citizens. These new rules are intended to be implemented in a way that ensures consumer and AI user confidence and promotes responsible innovation in this field.
