["Overview"]
["Has specific legislation, final regulations or other formal regulatory guidance addressing the use of AI in your jurisdiction been implemented (vs reliance on existing legislation around IP, cyber, data privacy, etc.)?\n\n*Please note that EU rules are applicable in all EU Member States*","Yes.\n"]
["Please provide a short summary of the legislation/regulations/guidance and explain how legislators aim to strike the balance between innovation and regulation.\n\n*Please note that EU rules are applicable in all EU Member States*","The \nEU Artificial Intelligence Act (\"\nEU AI Act\") is the world's first-ever comprehensive legal framework on AI. The \nEU AI Act aims to provide AI developers and deployers with clear requirements and obligations on specific uses of AI while also seeking to reduce administrative and financial burdens for businesses developing or using AI (especially SMEs).\nThe \nEU AI Act classifies AI systems according to four risk categories: (i) unacceptable risk AI systems that are prohibited from use (e.g. AI systems used for social scoring by governments); (ii) high-risk AI systems that are subject to the highest level of regulation under the \nEU AI Act(e.g. AI systems used for evaluating job candidates or staff performance); (iii) limited risk AI systems which are subject to a lower level of regulation under the \nEU AI Act (e.g. chatbots and voice assistants); and (iv) minimal risk AI systems are not subject to requirements of the \nEU AI Act as they pose little or no risk (e.g. spam filters). The majority of the \nEU AI Act's obligations fall on high-risk AI systems. The requirements relating to such systems include conducting adequate risk assessments and implementing risk mitigation measures; ensuring high data quality standards; maintaining detailed documentation and record-keeping; and providing certain information relating to the AI systems' intended use and capabilities. The majority of these requirements fall on developers of high-risk AI systems but deployers (i.e. users) of high-risk AI systems must also meet certain of these requirements (e.g. requirements regarding transparency and data accuracy). The requirements under the \nEU AI Act relating to limited-risk AI systems are mainly focused on transparency (i.e. providing certain information relating to the AI system). The \nEU AI Act also contains specific provisions governing General Purpose AI (\"\nGPAI\") systems, with additional requirements applying to \nGPAI systems considered as having systemic risk under the \nEU AI Act. The \nEU AI Act seeks to strike a balance between innovation and regulation by providing clear requirements to AI systems on a tiered basis (with less onerous requirements applying to lower-risk AI systems) and by seeking to specifically cater to certain needs of SMEs (e.g. providing SMEs with priority access to AI regulatory sandboxes and mandating training/awareness campaigns relating to the AI Act that are specifically tailored to SMEs). The \nEU AI Act also excludes from its scope AI systems and models specifically developed and put into service for the sole purpose of scientific research and development.\n"]
["Which agency regulates the use of AI in your jurisdiction?\n\n*Please note that EU rules are applicable in all EU Member States*","The AI Office, as established within the European Commission is responsible for regulating AI in the European Union.\n"]
