AI: MEPs want to hold companies accountable if their models cause harm
Some MEPs are calling for the European Commission to propose new legislation to close the gaps in the artificial intelligence regulation.
European Parliamentarians are pushing to expand the EU's AI regulations to hold US tech giants accountable for risks posed by their advanced models. The proposal, backed by MEPs including Kim van Sparrentak, Axel Voss, Brando Benifei, and Michael McNamara, aims to add new rules to the 2024 AI Act to ensure companies like OpenAI and Anthropic can be held responsible for unintended uses of their technology.
The move comes as concerns about AI safety dominate the global agenda, with incidents of hacking and warnings about existential threats to humanity. The parliamentarians are calling for an EU law on AI liability to fill current legislative gaps and provide recourse for citizens and businesses harmed by AI.
