Rationale: protection of fundamental rights in the face of threats and risks linked to the development of AI tools/Strengthening innovation
Horizontal regulatory framework – not limited to specific sectors – proportional response to risk. Concept of AI: broad definition, any software that is developed using one or more of the techniques and strategies listed in Annex I and that can, for a given set of objectives defined by human beings, generate output information such as content, predictions, recommendations or decisions that influence the environments with which it interacts (Art. 3. I). Annex I techniques and strategies: Machine learning strategies, including supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning, which employ a wide variety of methods, including deep learning. Strategies based on logic and knowledge, especially the representation of knowledge, inductive programming (logic), knowledge bases, inference and deduction engines, expert and (symbolic) reasoning systems. Statistical strategies, Bayesian estimation, search methods and optimization
