MEPs will vote on Wednesday March 13 to put in place the first legislation to regulate artificial intelligence. This law is considered essential to guarantee security and respect for the fundamental rights of Europeans, but must not restrict innovation.

The law, which is intended to be historic since it will be the first of its kind in the world, no longer rules out the possibility of using artificial intelligence for biometric recognition. The vote in the European Parliament comes at a time when, at the same time, in France, Emmanuel Macron received a report on artificial intelligence this Wednesday, March 13.
