European officials – who reached political agreement on the EU's new Data Act last night – have launched four labs to test AI applications before they're released to the general public.
Under the European Commission's Digital Europe Programme, the testing and experimental facilities will investigate the risks and impacts of new AI technologies before they hit the market. Machine learning algorithms, robots, or self-driving cars can thus be tested in simulation and in the physical world by researchers focused on four different areas: manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture and food, as well as cities and communities.
"Providers of AI-driven solutions get the opportunity to test their products in real environments to assess if they meet the customer needs," Valentina Ivanova, project coordinator of AI-Matters, the manufacturing TEF,in a statement."By offering access to testing and experimentation infrastructure across Europe, we aim to accelerate the uptake of these solutions in the market."
The European Commission pledged €220 million to fund the TEFs for five years. Member states approved the idea to support developers as new rules and regulations come into effect. Earlier this month, the European Parliament passed the AI Act regulating applications depending on their risk level. The most harmful products or services carrying unacceptable risks are banned and cannot be deployed within the EU.
