EU Lawmakers Make Progress on AI Act, Agree on Key Provisions for Regulating High-Risk AI Systems

EU lawmakers made progress in talks on the EU's proposed AI Act during late night negotiations.

They agreed on most parts of Article 6, which outlines high-risk AI systems subject to more regulation.

Exemptions for "purely accessory" AI like document sorting are still being debated.

Lawmakers aim to reach a final agreement on the AI Act in early December.

Failure to reach a deal soon could delay agreement until after European Parliament elections in June 2023.
