Summary/Abstract: As applications of generative artificial intelligence become more prevalent and sophisticated systems and models become commercial commodities, there is an increasing focus on regulating the abuse and use of this advanced technology. Although there are a large number of initiatives, both at the level of national jurisdictions and the global level (proposals on international agreements or the establishment of an international supervisory body), so far, only the European Union has made a serious attempt to protect citizens from the risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence. In 2021, the European Commission drafted a Proposal for the Regulation of artificial intelligence. It is expected to enter into force in 2026 at the earliest after it has been formally adopted by the Council and Parliament. By then, though, AI models could advance beyond recognition. In this article, the Proposal for the Regulation is considered in its entirety to indicate the importance of the legal matter in question and provide a basis for further research. The critical views put forward in the literature are presented. In addition, certain shortcomings in terms of the content of the draft regulation are indicated. It follows from the analysis that the backbone of the European approach to artificial intelligence regulation is twofold. On the one hand, the EU seeks to protect fundamental rights and ethical principles and takes into account legal certainty and transparency requirements. On the other hand, the intention to ensure that Europe does not fall behind in the technological competition on the international stage is also evident. An effort was made not to hinder the innovative potential and benefits of the European countries borne by new technologies. However, it is not always possible to achieve these two goals simultaneously.
