Presentation:
A Legal Framework for AI

In April 2021, the European Commission has published a proposal to regulate artificial intelligence in the European Union. The proposal for the so-called AI-Act is the first comprehensive piece of legislation seeking to establish a system of controls and safeguards tailored to the risks associated with certain AI systems.  With this risk-based approach, the proposal seeks to strike a balance between addressing perceived risks linked to AI, on the one hand, and not unduly constraining or hindering technological development. There is still a long way to go before the legislative project is adopted by the European Parliament and the Member States in the European Council. The talk summarizes current developments and will discuss the approach chosen by the European legislature with the participants.
