Spain takes the lead inshaping EU's AI regulations Spain has assumed the rotating presidency of the EU Council of Ministers and is gearing up to make a significant impact on the future of artificial intelligence regulations in the European Union. As part of their digital priorities, Spain aims to reach a political agreement on the AI Act. In preparation for upcoming negotiations with the EU Council, Parliament, and Commission, Spain has shared its position on key aspects of the Act: 1️⃣ Defining AI: Spain is considering different options, including sticking with the Council's text, aligning with the Parliament's position, or awaiting the OECD's (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) guidance. 2️⃣ Classification of High-Risk Applications: Spain is exploring various possibilities, such as adopting the Parliament's version without the notification of competent authorities, or refining it with binding self-assessment criteria for AI providers. 3️⃣ Addressing Critical Concepts: Spain is examining whether the AI Act is the appropriate framework to address concepts like democracy, the rule of law, and sustainability. 4️⃣ Clarity in Terminology: Spain is assessing the potential introduction of the term 'deployer' to minimize confusion and ensure clear roles and responsibilities within the AI ecosystem. These discussions will inform the trilogue negotiations scheduled for 18 July, where representatives from the Council, Parliament, and Commission will work towards a consensus on the AI Act. #SpainPresidency#AIAgenda#EURegulations#AIAct#AIRegulations#EUCouncil#EUCommission#EUParliament#Trilogue
