Framework of ethical aspects of artificial intelligence, robotics and related technologies
Own-initiative legislative report on a framework for the ethical aspects of artificial intelligence, robotics and related technologies. The amendments concentrate on AI in security and defence, debating a Union framework respecting international humanitarian and human rights law, a human-centric approach with humans retaining authority over automated decision-making, and AI's dual-use nature; several call for a ban on autonomous weapons systems while others stress AI's economic opportunities.

Plenary votes
11 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
