The European Commission has released a "loose framework" for AI developers that seeks to ensure the technology complies with basic ethical principles. This summer, the Commission will work with stakeholders to identify areas where additional guidance might be necessary and figure out how to best implement and verify its recommendations. The guidelines comprise seven requirements, including the enablement of equitable societies, allowing citizens to retain full control of their data, ensuring responsibility and accountability, and guaranteeing traceability of AI systems. In an interview with CNBC, EU Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said she was pleased by the new guidelines, which are being developed in consultation with industry representatives.
