This headline does not in any way relate to what is in the article, the first paragraph is this:

The regulations include:

A surveillance ban on AI systems that track people indiscriminately

A ban on social credit scores that track individual behaviors, impact hiring and judiciary decisions, and rate trustworthiness

Bias prevention measures like human oversight in testing datasets

AI notifications that would be sent to people when interacting with AI systems

That's pretty far from a ban.


Very clickbaity title. There is no plan on banning AI, just restricting AI in blanket survellaince.

Granted it's confusing if limiting AI which "impact[s] hiring and judiciary decisions, and rate trustworthiness" means limiting AI in these scenarios if they are purely advisory or there's human oversight, or just when it is the only decision mechanism.


Well, that’s a needlessly outrageous headline. Before responding, I suggest people read what the proposed regulations actually contain.


If we could use AI for something other than controlling and predicting people and making companies as much money as possible, I think AI could be very beneficial.



Just yesterday I saw a front page HN article with the title "EU will not ban deepfakes" or something to that effect?
