Debunking the EU AI Act: an overview of the new legal framework

Join our International Data and Privacy Team for an interactive webinar focusing on the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act.
The European Union is expected to adopt the Artificial Intelligence Act in 2024. This would be the first comprehensive legislation in the world which regulates the development, the use and the deployment of AI systems. While limited to the territory of the European Union, the AI Act nonetheless has an extra-territorial scope meaning that any organization that is either relying on a third party AI system or training its own AI models in the EU (regardless of where it is established) will have to comply with the AI Act.

    I do not want to lose the point in hyperbole or negativity. My quibble is and has been, how. How can AI be monitored, let alone regulated or in anyway controlled? Be specific. My reason for saying this is my belief that such a system would have to be larger and more comprehensive than all the governments combined. And that is just for the watching. Now you have to actually take action for violating whatever laws are conceived. Multiply the watchers by a couple dozen and you see my point. The technology cannot be contained. It is far too late for that. This is my opinion, but let me add - I want to be mistaken. I do not think that I am. Address the question. Be realistic. How could any regulation be put into practice? Think about what it is you are attempting to regulate. This isn't skateboards on the sidewalk.

    I understand your concerns and share your skepticism about the feasibility of regulating AI. The complexity and dynamic nature of AI make it a daunting task. Monitoring AI would indeed require a comprehensive system, likely larger than anything currently in place. But, consider this: regulation doesn't have to mean absolute control. Instead, it can focus on setting standards and frameworks that guide the development and deployment of AI. These could include mandatory audits, transparency requirements, and accountability mechanisms. While it's true that the technology is already widespread, it's not too late to implement measures that ensure its responsible use. It won't be easy, and it will require international cooperation and continuous adaptation, but it's a necessary step to balance innovation with safety and ethical considerations. This isn't about containing the technology but about steering it in a direction that benefits society as a whole.
