Last week, the European Parliament approved a resolution calling on the EU Commission
(Commission) to protect individuals’ rights in the context of
artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM).
The resolution will now go to the EU Counsel and Commission, just
before the Commission’s announcement on the European approach
to AI, scheduled to take place on February 19.

The Resolution calls for stronger human oversight of AI and ADM
and for rights to protect consumers. Among other things, the
Resolution suggests that consumers should be properly informed
about how such systems function, how to reach a human with
decision-makings powers and how the system’s decisions can be
checked and corrected. It also calls for the use of only
high-quality and unbiased data sets and “explainable and
unbiased algorithms.” Consumers should have recourse to seek
redress for automated decisions where appropriate.

The Resolution calls for a risk-based approach to AI and ADM,
and for a common European Union approach to related issues. It goes
on to make specific recommendations with regard to the potential
interaction of AI and ADM with various European directives,
including the Product Liability Directive.

It remains to be seen whether or how the Commission may take the
Resolution into account in releasing its own plans for an EU
approach to AI. The Akin Gump cross-practice AI team continues to
actively monitor forthcoming domestic and global initiatives
related to AI, including as European AI laws begin to take
shape.
