Description
The EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act: A Commentary
Edited by Ceyhun Necati Pehlivan, Nikolaus Forgó & Peggy Valcke
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly permeate various facets of our lives, there are growing concerns about their disruptive effects on society and the risks they pose to human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. Accordingly, the AI phenomenon has given rise to numerous governance frameworks at all levels of jurisdiction. In this context, it cannot be denied that the European Union's AI Act is the first legislation of its kind with global impact, establishing horizontal rules for the development, market placement, and use of AI systems. However, grasping its subtleties and intricacies poses a formidable challenge. This, then, is the first book to offer a reference guide and research tool, providing the full text of the AI Act as published in the Official Journal of 12 July 2024, along with an in-depth, article-by-article commentary. The commentary examines each article in sequential order, ensuring a thorough understanding of every provision.
More than eighty prestigious scholars and top-tier professionals, all experts in the field, collectively contribute an exhaustive exploration and analysis of the AI Act, making this volume 'the' guide, likely shaping the Act's interpretation and application in courts, and establishing it as a preeminent resource for legal determinations and academic research. The authors include senior scholars, legal practitioners, judges, and regulators from top law schools, international law firms, and EU institutions. Their authoritative and respected opinions and diverse insights and perspectives will help to shape legal and regulatory frameworks for AI, not only in Europe but worldwide.
Lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals will benefit from the book's lucid interpretation of the AI Act, aiding in its application and compliance, thus enhancing their ability to effectively practice and uphold AI-related regulations. Professionals working in, interested in, and willing to learn more about the field of AI will find thorough guidance, making it an essential resource for anyone involved in AI development and systems design. In addition, policymakers and institutions across the globe will have the opportunity to learn from the EU's pioneering approach, helping them craft their own AI policies and legislation.
