The EU will consider a ban on the use of artificial intelligence for mass surveillance and social credit scores.
The leaked 81-page document states that "
indiscriminate surveillance of individuals should be prohibited if applied in a generalized manner to all individuals without distinction ". Regarding social credit assessment, which is already in use in China, the bill reported: “
AI systems used to assess general social performance” should be banned. According to the document, some uses of "
high-risk" AI can be banned, while others could not work if they do not meet certain standards, according to Politico.
The European Commission is trying to find a balance between supporting innovation and ensuring that AI benefits 500 million people. If the proposals are accepted, Europe could seceешde from the US and China, which have yet to impose any serious rules on AI.
