The emergence of generative AI models (ChatGPT, Bard and others) in 2022 considerably accelerated the development of uses based on AI technologies. Several countries and international organizations began to consider a regulatory framework to prevent future harmful uses. The European Union, for its part, has been reflecting on this subject since 2021, when discussions around the AI Act began. Approved at the end of 2023, this regulation is a major step forward in the field. However, many points of divergence remain, particularly when it comes to regulating generative AI.
