EU countries and lawmakers have agreed on rules for artificial intelligence (AI) systems.

The law focuses on regulating generative AI applications, but there is disagreement about the use of remote biometric surveillance.

France, Germany, and Italy are advocating for certain AI models to be exempt from stricter rules.

There are calls for a ban on real-time facial identification systems.

Negotiations on biometric surveillance and source code access are still underway.

The proposed regulations could serve as a model for other countries, contrasting the US and China's approaches.

Further discussions and negotiations are required for a final agreement.

GPAI providers are obligated to follow standardized evaluation protocols, cyber security measures, incident reporting, testing and evaluation of the model, providing technical documentation, and respecting EU copyright law.
