Members of the European Parliament have voted to advance draft regulation on rules around the use of facial recognition, biometric surveillance, and other applications of artificial intelligence.

The vote on Thursday brings the bloc a step closer to passing a package of rules, known as the AI Act, which, with an update, also proposes to regulate AI tools such as ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI that has transformed the tech sector.

Two lawmaking committees approved amendments to an original text proposed by the European Commission, with 84 votes in favor, 7 against and 12 abstentions.

After two years of talks, the AI Act is ready to progress to the next stage of the process, in which legislators will finalize the law with the European Commission and individual states, reported Reuters.

The amended AI Act text goes to the wider Parliament in June, and, if voted through, is expected to pass by the end of the year.

With the proposed AI Act, lawmakers are seeking to ban "intrusive and discriminatory uses" of AI, such as biometric identification in public spaces, emotion recognition systems and predictive policing systems, reported Euronews.

The laws would be the world's first legislation governing AI, with some believing they will become the gold standard of regulation.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the vote on Thursday, Dragos Tudorache, one of the EU parliamentarians responsible for drafting the laws, said: "It is a delicate deal. But it is a package that I think gives something to everyone that participated in these negotiations."

Some center-right members of the European Parliament have resisted a ban on the use of real-time facial recognition technology, holding the view that biometric scanning could be utilized to tackle serious crimes such as terrorism, reported The Guardian newspaper.

Under the proposed new rules, risk levels for AI tools would be classified from low to unacceptable, with associated obligations differing for governments and companies.

The Guardian reported that the package of proposals could result in companies being blocked from trading within the EU for breaches of the rules, or fined up to 10 million euros ($10.9 million).
