Response to Requirements for Artificial Intelligence

10 Sept 2020

The Amsterdam coalition 'AI Technology for People' strongly supports the European Parliament and Council in their efforts to ensure that AI is safe, lawful and in line with EU fundamental rights. The overall goal of stimulating the uptake of trustworthy AI in the EU economy connects closely to the goals of Amsterdam coalition 'AI Technology for People'. The attached document provides a succinct response to the consultation document by 'AI Technology for People'. In it, we explain why, in laying down requirements for AI, 'AI Technology for People' encourages the EP and the Council to ensure that: • The development, use and regulation of AI go hand in hand, because they are interdependent; • Regulatory interventions are evidence-based, proportionate, and respond to identified regulatory gaps pro-actively and without undue delay so they can create legal certainty without stifling innovation; • Regulatory intervention is based on careful analyses of where actual conflicts between certain uses of AI and fundamental rights emerge or where AI has negative effects for a fair and inclusive society; • Regulatory interventions should take into account the broader economic-institutional environment and implications for society, and ensure that the way AI is being used and implemented in products and services is fair and complies with fundamental rights; • There is a fair legal playing field for European vis-à-vis non-European players; • Compliance costs are distributed fairly not only between low risk and high-risk AI but also directly related to the size of a company and the institutional dependencies it might create. The lead author of the attached document is Prof.Dr. Natali Helberger, University Chair in in Law and Digital Technology at the University of Amsterdam Partners in the coalition AI technology for people: Amsterdam Economic Board, Amsterdam UMC, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (of which the Netherlands Cancer Institute is part), Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, Municipality of Amsterdam, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Sanquin, University of Amsterdam, Free University Amsterdam
