For the EU, the AI Act is a real testing ground.

Abstract
For the EU, the AI Act is a real testing ground. Arguably, the EU’s legal framework on AI, as well as the way it will be applied, implemented and enforced, will make a remarkable impact on multiple layers of the European integration process. That inevitably raises many questions. To list but a few, how was the AI Act conceived? What is its scope? How did the EU’s legislator deal with risks and opportunities stemming from AI? What are the main obligations provided for in the AI Act? Will the Member States enjoy any leeway after the entry into force of all the Regulation’s provisions? Who does what to make the Regulation work? Are there any other legal initiatives on AI at the regional level in Europe? In an attempt to offer an overview of the key points of Regulation 2024/1689, the present chapter will address these questions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
