Comment by Josianne Cutajar

By ensuring a human centric-approach to artificial intelligence that secures our fundamental rights and values while leaving vital breathing space for research and innovation, the adoption of the AI Act is a historic day for European policymaking. As the rapporteur for this file’s TRAN position, I strongly welcome how the regulation will contribute to the safety and privacy of transport users and pedestrians, amongst other vital sectors. The Act will surely go far in incentivising investment in technological solutions that will bring improvements to our quality of life, such as helping to ease traffic congestion and pollution or through accessible transport for persons with disability or mobility issues.
