Serbia Prepares First Law to Regulate Artificial Intelligence

The forthcoming AI law is deemed essential to protect personal data, human rights, and to mitigate the misuse of the "online world."

Milan Antonijevic, a member of the working group drafting the AI law, told Newsmax Balkans that technology is advancing rapidly, but human rights remain a constant guiding principle in every step of development.

"Employees should have complete privacy, free from surveillance or monitoring of their use of social media. We must ensure that this technology is not misused and that we align with European practices," Antonijevic emphasized. He noted that only the United States has currently adopted a more liberal model, which he argued is more profit-driven and less concerned with human rights. Serbia, being closer to the European Union, will lean more toward protecting human rights, he added.

The European Union already has an AI law, as do China, the United States, and Canada.

In Serbia, the law will define for the first time what is permissible, who is accountable if AI errs, and how to protect the most valuable assets—data and human rights.

AI expert Milos Jovanovic pointed out that legislation is lagging behind technology.

"We are working on a new law that looks to the future, aiming to prevent or minimize the misuse of AI and ensure it contributes to the advancement of human civilization, rather than being exploited for negative purposes," Jovanović stated.

In three years, it's projected that over 80 million people globally will lose their jobs due to AI, but over 60 million new jobs will be created for those skilled in AI.

"We must consider how we engage with AI—whether it's for composing emails, analyzing documents, or assisting in daily tasks to enhance efficiency and competitiveness," Jovanovic said. "AI's progress is unstoppable, but the law can ensure its development remains within controlled boundaries."

However, if AI is faster than humans, rarely errs, never sleeps, and doesn't require a salary, can it replace workers, or does the law protect them?

The advancement of AI continues, but the law can ensure its development doesn't surpass controllable limits. Technology is here to assist and serve humanity, not the other way around.
