Recently, the European Parliament approved the first regulation on artificial intelligence, which establishes some requirements and obligations for AI platforms that operate in the European Union. This law is part of the EU digital strategy and aims to ensure better condition for the development and use of this technology while protecting fundamental rights, democracy, the rule of law and environmental sustainability.
