European lawmakers on Wednesday approved the world’s most comprehensive legislation yet on artificial intelligence, setting out rules and restrictions on the technology.

European lawmakers approved the world’s most comprehensive legislation yet on artificial intelligence, setting out sweeping rules for developers of AI systems and new restrictions on how the technology can be used. The European Parliament on Wednesday voted to give final approval to the law after reaching a political agreement last December with European Union member states.

The AI Act is "the first regulation in the world that is putting a clear path towards a safe and human-centric development of AI," said Brando Benifei, an EU lawmaker from Italy who helped lead negotiations on the law. The law still needs final approval from EU member states, but that process is expected to be a formality since they already gave the legislation their political endorsement.

Makers of the most powerful AI models—deemed to have what the EU calls a "systemic risk"—will be required to put those models through state of the art safety evaluations and notify regulators of serious incidents that occur with their models. They will also have to implement mitigations for potential risks and cybersecurity protection, the law says.
