European Commission Adopts AI Recommendation on Risk Assessment
Summary
On October 3, 2023, the European Commission adopted a recommendation on areas of critical technology for the EU’s economic security that must undergo further risk assessment, including AI. The AI technologies to be assessed include “high-performance computing, cloud and edge computing, data analytics, computer vision, language processing, [and] object recognition”, and the assessment will evaluate the “risks of technology security and leakage” from the EU. The assessment is scheduled to conclude by the end of 2023, and its recommendations will likely lay the basis for future EU measures to reduce technology leakage. It is expected that those measures will be announced in the spring of 2024.
