(VTC News) - When the European Union studies strategic standards for AI robots, it will greatly benefit people in the region.
As the need for local robots increases in Europe, the main applications of AI robots are in healthcare and agriculture. However, they are also used in logistics and manufacturing. For this reason, Europe is facing challenges in terms of workforce adaptability and the safety of AI robots .

Therefore, according to Euronews, the European Commission plans to publish a strategy document that applies to the entire EU by 2025. This document will ensure standards in promoting AI - powered robots across the European continent. Since the EU wants to have a synergy in developing AI robots, this is why they need a specific standard. Euronews also revealed part of the minutes of the internal EU meeting, which also confirmed some of the European Union's plans. The minutes revealed that the EU executive will work closely with the 27 member states. In the second quarter of 2024, they will work closely to develop a strategy for AI-powered robotics. According to the report, this strategy will cover all aspects of the application and development of AI robots. This strategy will also be linked to other relevant plans of the European Commission (such as the AI at Work Initiative and the AI Act). According to the minutes of the meeting from the internal expert group, the strategy will ensure that AI robots are deployed and used responsibly and ethically. It will also address risks such as privacy, cybersecurity, transparency and accountability in the AI robot category. The standard can also provide specific actions to address them. Finally, member governments will be asked to develop their own investment proposals and work with relevant agencies on AI robot standards. The European Commission is also planning to establish a so-called robotics observatory, which will examine current barriers to the development and adoption of AI robots.
