European lawmakers are struggling to agree on new rules for artificial intelligence, with an agreement unlikely before December. The draft AI rules, which include regulations for foundation models and high-risk AI systems, must be approved by the European Parliament and EU member states. Spain, which holds the EU presidency, has proposed compromises to accelerate the process, such as a tiered approach to regulating foundation models with more than 45 million users. But opponents warn that smaller platforms could be just as risky. However, a final agreement is not expected in the upcoming fourth trilogue. A fifth trilogue is scheduled for early December, and failure to reach an agreement could push negotiations into next year, according to Reuters.

Japan is drafting AI guidelines to reduce overreliance and address biased data. The government panel is expected to finalize the guidelines by the end of the year, outlining 10 ground rules for AI companies to ensure fairness, transparency, and protection of human rights. AI developers, service providers, and users will share responsibility, with developers ensuring data accuracy and preventing unauthorized access, while providers will warn users about personal information and guarantee limited use of services.

In July, the Japanese Ministry of Education issued guidelines for the use of AI in schools. Japan also announced that it's working on its own culturally sensitive language model.
