European Parliament committees have backed amendments that would require companies to disclose more about how their artificial intelligence systems are trained and used. Lawmakers say the changes are meant to improve accountability as public concern grows over bias, opaque decision-making, and the spread of poorly explained automated tools.

The push comes as AI systems are increasingly used in areas that affect daily life, including content moderation, hiring, and public services. Supporters of the tighter rules argue that users and regulators need clearer information to assess whether these systems are fair, accurate, and safe.

The proposed requirements would increase pressure on developers and deployers to document training data, deployment practices, and the limits of their models. Backers say the goal is not to slow innovation, but to make it easier to identify risks before they cause harm.

The amendments still need to move through the broader legislative process before any final rules take effect. But the committee vote signals that transparency remains a central issue in Europe’s effort to regulate fast-moving AI technology.
