The 27 member states of the European Union (EU) have unanimously endorsed the bloc’s “landmark legislation” governing the utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI), also known as the EU AI Act, according to European Commissioner for the Internal Market Thierry Breton.
Breton described the move as “historic, world first, pioneering” on the social media platform X, emphasising that negotiators have found the “perfect balance between innovation and safety.” In December, EU lawmakers and member states reached a political agreement on the key provisions of the AI Act, hailed by the European Commission as the “first-ever comprehensive legal framework on AI worldwide”.
