EU regulation on artificial intelligence

The EU regulation on artificial intelligence (AI Act) comes into force today - a milestone for the regulation of AI systems in the EU. Companies are now obliged to train their employees in the use of AI.

The AI Act sets clear rules to prevent misuse, protect fundamental rights and enable innovation at the same time. The regulation is based on a risk-based approach: the higher the risk of an AI application, the stricter the regulations. Here is an overview of the most important points:

  • Aim of the AI Act: Ensure that AI applications are not abused and that fundamental rights are protected.
  • Freedom for innovation: Science and industry should be able to continue to innovate despite regulation.
  • Risk-based approach: The higher the risk of an AI application, the stricter the legal requirements.
  • Prohibited AI systems: Manipulative AI for the targeted influencing of behaviour and AI-based "social scoring" (evaluation of people according to their behaviour).
  • Transparency obligation: Artificially generated or edited content (audio, images, videos) must be labelled as such.
  • Regulation of high-risk AI: Concerns critical infrastructure, employment, healthcare and banking and strict requirements for authorisation on the EU market.
  • Low risk: Low risk AI applications are subject to limited transparency and information requirements.

For many companies, this is an important step towards integrating AI safely, efficiently and responsibly into their day-to-day work. At the same time, it poses new challenges:

  • How do you give employees the right skills to use AI in a targeted manner?
  • Where is the greatest potential for creativity and efficiency?

This is exactly where we come in.
