PGEU Feedback on European Commission Proposal for an EU Regulation on Artificial Intelligence

On 20 July, PGEU submitted its feedback on the European Commission Proposal for an EU Regulation on Artificial Intelligence, expressing support the European Commission’s general objective to ensure that the development and uptake of AI across the Single Market is conducted in a trustworthy way. While we see great value in using AI in healthcare for enabling meaningful innovation, supporting health professionals and enhancing patient care, we are aware that it may also entail significant risks, for example in relation to the use of health and patient data. Therefore we support the Proposal put forward by the European Commission as it provides a good basis to address use of AI systems which may affect health and safety of users and consumers as well as their fundamental rights.
