The EU AI Act and Its Implications
The EU AI Act represents the first comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence in democratic nations, focusing on risk management and public welfare. Maritia Shaka is chairing a working group that will develop a code of practice that allows AI developers and companies to voluntarily sign up for criteria aimed at minimizing risks associated with AI technologies. This involves defining what constitutes the public interest and creating guidelines for companies to assess and report on potential risks effectively. The successful implementation of this act is vital to ensure that AI technologies are used responsibly and ethically, balancing innovation with societal safety.
