The White Book of the European Commission or the attempt to achieve technological humanism
Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually changing the whole life of society and, as a consequence, the Law who rule this society. With recent progress in digitized data acquisition, machine learning and computing infrastructure, AI applications are expanding into areas that were previously thought to be only a matter of human experts. It is, in addition, irrelevant whether people believe that technology generates need, or need invents technology, the result will be the same: there is no turning back. The EU is trying to adapt to this new scenario, the main goal, a real Herculean task, is based on making compatible, on one hand, respec fundamental rights, and on the other hand, the risks which involve the new techs. In this review article,
we outline recent breakthroughs in AI technologies and their practical applications, identify the challenges for further progress in AI systems and how they could couple in the current legal framework. We consider White Paper on Artificial Intelligence a starting point to implement a solid European regulatory framework
for trustworthy AI. Therefore, we should not concentrate on the more negative aspects, the technology has the power to protect all European citizens (e. g. controlling communicable diseases) and helps to create a frictionless internal market for further development and, at the same time. Nevertheless, we detect some weak points and legal loopholes that we also cannot fail to mention.
