EU Reaches Preliminary Deal to Regulate Advanced AI Models

The comprehensive artificial intelligence regulation, still awaiting approval, sets transparency requirements and additional rules for models posing a 'systemic risk'.

The European Union has reached a preliminary deal to regulate advanced AI models like ChatGPT, marking the world's first comprehensive artificial intelligence regulation.
All developers of general purpose AI systems must meet basic transparency requirements, including having an acceptable-use policy, keeping up-to-date information on how they trained their models, and reporting a detailed summary of the data used to train their models.
AI models deemed to pose a 'systemic risk' would be subject to additional rules, with the EU determining that risk based on the amount of computing power used to train the model.
Models posing a systemic risk must report their energy consumption, perform adversarial tests, assess and mitigate possible systemic risks, ensure they're using adequate cybersecurity controls, and conform to energy efficient standards.
The tentative deal still needs to be approved by the European Parliament and the EU's 27 member states.
