European Approach to Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The paper analyses how the institutions of the European Union approach solving the issue of the safe use of artificial intelligence. Documents from the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, and the European Commission are analysed. The Communication on the European Approach to Artifi- cial Intelligence, of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, the Coordinated Plans of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe for Artificial Intelligence, and the Proposal for the Regulation on Artificial Intelligence of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe were dis- cussed. The goal of adopting all these documents is to create a safe environment for the use of artificial intelligence, that is, to create an adequate ethical and legal framework for the development and use of products and services based on artificial intelligence technologies. The European approach to the successful development of an environment for the use of artificial intelligence implies an accelerated investment in artificial intelligence technologies, the harmonization of artificial intelligence policies of individual EU countries, the creation of appropriate computing capacities, the construction and mobil- ity of research capacities, the financing of innovative ideas and solutions, and the creation of adequate legal regulations for the safe use of artificial intelligence.
