Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Stresses that any possible future regulation should enable development and deployment of secure and trustworthy algorithmic systems and that it should follow a differentiated risk-based approach, based on the potential harm for the individual as well as for society at large, taking into account the specific use context of the algorithmic system; legal obligations should gradually increase with the identified basic, substantial or high risk level; in the lowest risk category there should be no additional legal obligations; algorithmic systems that may harm an individual, impact an individual’s access to resources, or concern their participation in society shall not be deemed to be in the lowest risk category; this risk-based approach should follow clear and transparent rules;

3a. Believes that prior to tabling possible new legislative proposals, the Commission should scrutinize application of the legislation already in place and its enforcement, as well as self-regulatory measures; stresses that any legislative proposals related to algorithmic systems should not hamper the emergence of high-tech ‘unicorns’, start-ups and SMEs in Europe or prevent European companies from adopting and implementing AI or other solutions and that such proposals should take into consideration the context of the post COVID-19 crisis period; reiterates that the main objective should be to unleash the potential of algorithmic systems throughout the Union and to increase competitiveness of European companies on a global scale;
