AI Regulation Is Here. Almost. – WSJ

The draft rules include bans on real-time, remote biometric surveillance in public spaces and would prohibit harvesting surveillance footage or scraping the internet in developing facial-recognition databases. The parliament s version also seeks a ban on so-called predictive policing systems, which analyze prior criminal behavior and other data and try to predict future illegal activity. 

More broadly, the draft legislation aims to regulate how companies train AI models with large data sets. It would, in some cases, require companies to disclose when content is generated using AI.

The bans on remote biometric surveillance and predictive policing are a good idea, depending on how they are implemented. The WEF isn’t going to like this however.
