ChatGPT continues to make waves around the world, disrupting everything from education to marketing. As long as VCs continue to invest billions in AI startups, this problem is likely to continue.

The AI Act is the first law on AI systems in the West. The law seeks to govern how companies develop and adopt generative AI technologies through a risk-based approach to regulating AI.
The AI Act classifies applications into four risk categories: unacceptable risk, high risk, limited risk, minimal or no risk.
In an ideal world, all applications would fall into the “minimal or no risk” category, but that’s not realistic. As concerns over the misuse of AI continue to grow, the AI Act provides a defined category of “unacceptable risk” claims. Applications that fall into this category are prohibited for use in the European Union.
As reported by CNBC, these technologies are defined as:
- AI systems that use subliminal, manipulative or deceptive techniques to distort behavior
- AI systems exploiting vulnerabilities of individuals or specific groups
- Biometric classification system based on sensitive attributes or traits
- AI systems used for social scoring and credibility assessment
- AI systems used for risk assessment to predict crime and administrative crime
- An AI system that creates or augments facial recognition databases through untargeted scraping
- AI systems that infer emotions in law enforcement, border control, the workplace, and education
With these regulations in place, Europe is at the forefront of curbing potentially dangerous AI technology.

Foundation model also targeted by AI law
Foundation models such as ChatGPT have also come under a lot of scrutiny under AI law. Requirements are in place to ensure that these large language models behave responsibly.
For example, developers of these models must pass governance measures, risk mitigation, and safety checks before releasing their technology to the public. These models should also take steps to ensure that their training data does not violate copyright laws.
