Review of the standpoints regarding the content of the article 5 of the proposal for the European Union's artificial intelligence act: The challenge of finding the balance

Although the application of artificial intelligence in almost all areas is not new, in the last few years intensive work has been done on its legal regulation. Despite the fact that only initial steps have been taken, it is obvious that the European Union is investing great efforts and resources in order to play a leading role in this process. In April 2021, one of the most important legal documents in this area was adopted - the Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council Laying Down Harmonised Rules on Artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act) and Amending Certain Union Legislative Acts. The authors deal with the analysis of Article 5 of this Draft Regulation, which lays down the cases in which the use of artificial intelligence should be banned. Taking into account that there is still not enough knowledge and experience regarding the consequences of the use of artificial intelligence, available different attitudes are explored. The fact that the legislation of the Republic of Serbia should be harmonized with the legal regulations of the European Union, which corresponds to the goals stated in the Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence in the Republic of Serbia for the period 2020-2025, also contributes to the special significance of this research.
