In June 2024, European Union lawmakers passed the first worldwide, horizontal AI regulation, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive framework on the use and supply of AI systems. This legislation introduces a risk-based categorization of AI systems—ranging from “unacceptable” to “minimal risk”—with corresponding obligations and requirements. Prohibited systems include those presenting “unacceptable” risks, while “high-risk” AI must adhere to strict compliance measures to gain access to the EU market. Special provisions have also been introduced for general purpose AI (GPAI), particularly those with “high-impact capabilities,” to address potential systemic risks and protect fundamental rights.

Big tech companies are striking multi-billion-dollar nuclear energy deals to meet the soaring power demands of generative AI. While supporters argue that small modular reactors offer a stable, clean energy source, critics caution that rushing into nuclear could ignore crucial questions about cost and safety. The race to power AI may reshape both the tech sector’s carbon footprint and the future of renewable energy policy. It remains to be seen if these projects, some of which won’t be running until the next decade, can truly meet AI’s ballooning energy needs. Ultimately, their success or failure will shape public attitudes toward nuclear power and the role of private-sector innovation in climate solutions.
