Changes in the way people live and work, driven by digitalization and automation, have always triggered fears. Developments in the field of digitalization and automation, as well as the use of artificial intelligence, which has been the subject of much discussion recently, require people in all areas to have a certain degree of adaptability. Increasing complexity, the loss of jobs and the challenges of data protection are just a few examples of the challenges facing not only society but also legislators. The simplification of daily life and the increasing efficiency gains made possible by AI are some of the arguments in favor of using AI. The EU law on artificial intelligence aims to ensure that AI systems brought to market and deployed in the EU are safe and in line with the EU's fundamental rights and values. The groundbreaking proposal is also intended to promote investment and innovation in the field of AI in Europe.
