Governments face significant barriers to AI procurement due to the complexity of EU AI law and a lack of clear implementation guidance. Key challenges include definitional ambiguity around AI and a significant knowledge gap between public procurers and AI vendors. Data quality and technology infrastructure issues are also hampering the effective use of AI. The article highlights the critical need for clearer, practical guidance at both EU and national level to ensure compliant AI procurement.

The definition of systemic risk in Article 3(65) of the EU AI Act presents challenges of interpretation due to potential ambiguities. This working paper analyses these ambiguities and how the GPAI Code of Practice attempts to categorise these risks through a taxonomy. A key concern is the potential for exploitation of these systemic risk definitions by GPAI model providers.

The AI Regulation Chair is proud to announce its significant contribution to the book “The EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act: A Commentary”. This comprehensive work contains analyses from numerous experts and academics in the field. The Chair’s contribution includes a commentary on Articles 16 and 17 of the AI Act, which deal with the obligations of providers of high-risk AI systems and the implementation of a quality management system.

The EU is actively engaged in the process of shaping AI regulation, with the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice (GPAI CoP) playing a crucial role in complementing the EU AI Act. However, the development of this code is encountering certain challenges. Discover how this “living framework” aims to evolve with the rapidly changing AI landscape and why the AI Office’s upcoming decisions are critical.

The global AI regulatory landscape is undergoing significant changes, with governments adopting divergent approaches to artificial intelligence governance. In Asia, North America, and Europe, policymakers are setting new standards that could reshape the future of AI development and deployment.

Exploring AI hallucinations through the lens of GDPR, this article focuses on the regulatory challenges, key DPA perspectives, and industry measures to balance innovation and data protection.

The European Commission’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) office has initiated a targeted consultation with stakeholders on guidelines for defining AI systems and applying prohibitions on certain high-risk AI practices, as outlined in the EU AI Act. This consultation represents a significant step in preparing for the implementation of these provisions, which will come into effect on 2 February 2025, six months after the AI Act’s entry into force. The guidelines are expected to be finalised and published in early 2025, providing practical assistance to businesses, regulators, and other stakeholders in meeting their obligations under the Act.
