BRUSSELS, Jan 20 (KUNA) -- The European Parliament Wednesday in a report said Artificial Intelligence (AI) must be subject to human control, allowing humans to correct or disable it in case of unforeseen behaviour.
The report, adopted by 364 votes in favour, 274 against, 52 abstentions, calls for an EU legal framework on AI with definitions and ethical principles, including its military use.
It calls on the EU and its member states to ensure AI and related technologies are human-centred and intended for the service of humanity and the common good.
The use of lethal autonomous weapon systems raise fundamental ethical and legal questions on human control, says the report and calls for an EU strategy to prohibit them as well as a ban on so-called "killer robots".
Further, the report warns of threats to fundamental human rights and state sovereignty arising from the use of AI technologies in mass civil and military surveillance.
It calls on the EU to take a leading role in creating and promoting a global framework governing the military use of AI, alongside the UN and the international community. (end)
