Fika-to-fika workshop* in Lund and online 19 September 2024.
The AI Act has now been approved by the European Parliament and the Council, and is about to become binding law across all Member States of the EU. It is part of a very ambitious package of EU legislation that aims to “foster trustworthy AI in Europe and beyond, by ensuring that AI systems respect fundamental rights, safety, and ethical principles and by addressing risks of very powerful and impactful AI models”.
These aims will not be achieved solely by passing legislation. However good the law on the books might be, it will not mean much if it is not accompanied by effective compliance mechanisms and is not enforced consistently and predictably. The AI Act and related legislation puts in place an innovative and highly complex compliance and enforcement framework. It relies on companies self-assessing, private organisations setting standards, private and public bodies exercising oversight, both at national and EU level. It introduces novel institutional constellations and imposes unique compliance procedures.
This Workshop will bring together legal experts to explore the compliance and enforcement mechanisms in the AI Act and related legislation. It will provide an early opportunity for public authorities, industry, scholars and the general public to find out what they need to know as the AI Act begins to apply.
