AI and the World We Live In

In the world we live in, we are no longer alone. We have created a force that is next to us, step by step. We created it to help us. The question is how far we let it run „free†and to what extent we can use it. States have begun enacting laws regulating the use of AI to ensure fundamental human rights are respected. A set of prohibited practices is being developed worldwide, aimed not at limiting technological development but at protecting individuals. Most countries have adopted a risk-based approach. There is, however, a fundamental difference between these normative acts: technologically developed states have adopted measures more “gentle†for the use of AI, prioritizing speed over caution that might be excessive in certain legislations. This article proposes a brief analysis across different regulations, starting from the European AI Act and continuing with a general presentation of non-European rules on the use of AI.
