On biometric identification, Tudorache and the EPP both propose to exclude the consensual authentication to access a service, device or premises from the definition. In a major change of position, liberal Tudorache joined the social democrats and greens in advocating for a complete ban on biometric recognition, eliminating the exceptions included in the original proposal. These include recommender systems that systematically suggest disinformation and illegal content, uses for law enforcement, migration, work and education. Green MEPs made major proposals in terms of prohibited practices, extending this category to biometric categorisation, emotion recognition, and any automated monitoring of human behaviour. He also proposed applying the rules to providers not located or operating in the EU under certain circumstances. Liberal Tudorache introduced a new article to capture AI applications in the metaverse in the scope of the regulation, including a reference to blockchain-backed currencies and NFTs. The Slovenian Presidency circulated a compromise text on the EU’s draft AI Act, including major changes in the areas of social scoring, biometric recognition systems, and high-risk applications, while also identifying future points for discussion. In contrast, the EPP proposed to ease the burden of obligations for these providers, introducing different requirements for new, former, and original providers.ĮU Council presidency pitches significant changes to AI Act proposal The two co-rapporteurs maintain their opposition to curbing an exception for general-purpose AI.
