The European Union's legislative branch passed a draft law that would implement the first major regulations on the growing industry of artificial intelligence.

The European Parliament voted to pass the A.I. Act on Wednesday, a bill that would limit a number of common uses for the software.

It would also set new transparency measures for chatbots such as OpenAI's ChatGPT.
