EU Considers Measures to Mitigate Risks of Artificial Intelligence

The European Union has been grappling with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, which has raised concerns over its risks and increasing incidents. The EU has a law in place since 2024 that aims to make AI models safer, with companies facing fines or even a ban if they fail to comply. However, critics have pointed out weaknesses in the regulations.

The EU’s AI law requires companies to continuously monitor their models for potential dangers and submit reports assessing the risks and describing security vulnerabilities. The European Cybersecurity Agency (Enisa) also tests the most critical models, but this process can take months, as seen in a recent case where the US imposed a temporary export ban.
