Some unacceptable uses of artificial intelligence would be banned in Europe under proposals unveiled on Wednesday.
The European Commission s rules would ban AI systems considered a clear threat to the safety, livelihoods and rights of people , it said.
It is also proposing far stricter rules on the use of biometrics - such as facial recognition being used by law enforcement, which would be limited.
Breaking the rules could lead to fines of up to 6% of global turnover.
For the largest technology companies, that could amount to billions.

By KELVIN CHAN | Associated Press | Published: April 21, 2021 LONDON Risky uses of artificial intelligence that threaten people s safety or rights such as live facial scanning should be banned or tightly controlled, European Union officials said Wednesday as they outlined an ambitious package of proposed regulations to rein in the rapidly expanding technology. The draft regulations from the EU s executive commission include rules for applications deemed high risk such as AI systems to filter out school, job or loan applicants. They would also ban artificial intelligence outright in a few cases considered too risky, such as government social scoring systems that judge people based on their behavior.
