AI Regulation: ENVI wants to strengthen environmental protection

The Commission’s proposed regulation on artificial intelligence (AI Regulation) does not provide sufficient protection for the environment. This is the conclusion reached by Renew MEP Susana Solís Pérez in her draft opinion. This is to be presented in the spring to the lead committees for Internal Market and Consumer Protection and Civil Liberties, Justice, and Home Affairs. At yesterday’s meeting of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health, and Food Safety (ENVI), she called for AI systems in the environment to be classified as highly important, alongside health, safety, and the protection of fundamental rights.
