Things look a little less bleak with regard to regulating #AI in #Europe:
#UK's #PM #Sunak tries to score some points holding an #AI summit and trying to play a leading role in #AIReguluation. (1)
The #EuropeanUnion, to my knowledge, is furthest ahead in the West. Already in 2021, the #Commission published a proposal to regulate #AI. There have been several stages in the legislation process already. On...

If you live in the #EU, you are lucky that there seem to be quite a number of #MEP's that have enough know-how to ascertain risks that the #European #Commission had originally missed in the proposition:
"MEPs substantially amended the list to include bans on intrusive and discriminatory uses of #AISystems such as:
“Real-time” remote #biometric identification systems in publicly accessible spaces;...
