The new AI act will have significant consequences for civil society and the economy. The text will enter into force in the summer of 2024, the first provisions will apply just six months later. The aim of the European legislator was to provide better protection against the dangers of AI while at the same time promoting innovation.
In parallel to the beginning implementation of the AI Act, the practical guide tries to elaborate and asses the regulation systemically.
It provides legal users with an initial but reliable orientation when using the technology. In addition to the basics in the AI regulation itself; practice-relevant areas are classified in the annexes on high-risk AI systems. The use cases range from biometric identification of natural persons to questions of education as well as labor law to the use in the judiciary related to law enforcement and administration of justice. Special attention is paid to the comprehensible communication of the complex technical interrelationships in the use of artificial intelligence. In addition, the questions of the relationship to the other digital and data law of the EU, above all the GDPR, which arise in business practice, are assessed. This becomes particularly relevant, for example, in the case of transparency requirements, technical data protection and risk assessment. Finally, the work addresses practice-relevant liability issues and presents enforcement by the supervisory regime.
