AI Systems with ‘Unacceptable Risk’ Now Banned in EU

As of Sunday, EU regulators can ban the use of AI systems they deem to pose an “unacceptable risk” or harm under the bloc's AI Act, approved by the European Parliament last March. Unacceptable activities include the use of AI for social scoring, manipulating a person’s decisions deceptively, predicting people committing crimes based on their appearance, and trying to infer people’s emotions, among other uses.
