MEPs adopted Parliament’s position on the AI Act on 14 June 2023 by 499 votes to 28 with 93 abstentions, and talks with the Council began the same day. The text added bans on real-time remote biometric identification in public spaces, biometric categorisation by sensitive traits, predictive policing, emotion recognition in policing, border control, workplaces and schools, and untargeted scraping of facial images. Foundation model providers would have to assess and mitigate risks and register models in an EU database, and generative systems would have to disclose AI-generated content and publish detailed summaries of copyrighted training data.

Why it matters

Developers of foundation models such as those behind ChatGPT faced proposed EU duties on risk assessment, registration and copyright summaries, which went straight into negotiations with member states.
