Artificial intelligence systems come not only with benefits but also with substantial risks, raising a broad variety of legal and ethical challenges. The use of AI applications should be categorised as high-risk in instances where there is the potential to significantly affect the lives of individuals and must be prohibited when it is incompatible with fundamental rights. The European Union has chosen to address these issues by seeking to specifically regulate artificial intelligence through its proposed Artificial Intelligence Act. This would take the form of a EU Regulation that completely bans some forms of artificial intelligence, requires greater transparency for other use cases and imposes significant and extensive obligations on any ‘high risk’ uses of artificial intelligence.
