The European Commission has launched a public consultation to refine the AI Act, focusing on defining AI systems and prohibiting high-risk applications. This initiative invites feedback from stakeholders, including industry leaders, policymakers, and civil society, to ensure the regulation aligns with ethical and safety standards.

Key areas of the consultation include refining the definition of AI systems, identifying prohibited uses such as biometric surveillance and social scoring, and clarifying accountability frameworks for high-risk AI applications. The consultation also addresses the need for transparency and trust in AI deployment across sectors.

This process underscores the EU’s commitment to creating a balanced regulatory framework that fosters innovation while safeguarding fundamental rights. Stakeholders have until the consultation deadline to contribute, shaping the future of AI governance in Europe.
