The World’s First Comprehensive Artificial Intelligence Law was Approved by the European Parliament
Artificial Intelligence: European Union Law "protects personal data" but may "limit research" states David Matos, Professor at DEI

David Matos, professor at DEI, participated in the Rádio Observador program, Resposta Pronta, to discuss the new Artificial Intelligence Act approved by the European Parliament and the challenges of its implementation.
The regulation aims to protect fundamental rights, democracy, the rule of law and environmental sustainability from high-risk AI, while boosting innovation and establishing Europe as a leader in the field. The regulation establishes obligations for AI based on its potential risks and level of impact. It was endorsed with 523 votes in favour, 46 against and 49 abstentions.
