EU Passes Landmark AI Regulation, Sets Global Standard

The EU passed its AI Act, the first comprehensive law regulating artificial intelligence.
The law bans certain AI uses like facial recognition and predictive policing, classifies systems by risk level, and requires transparency.
Developers of generative AI must disclose when content is AI-generated, and election-influencing AI is deemed high risk.
The law may take effect in 2025 and faces more negotiation, but is poised to become a model for global AI governance.
Policymakers and companies worldwide are closely watching the EU, hoping to adapt its policies or push back against overreach.
