Regulating Artificial Intelligence: The AI Act of the European Union at a glance

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a key technology for the future viability of our economy and society. However, AI systems also harbour risks. With the AI Act, the European Union (EU) has now adopted the world's first transnational set of regulations for the safe and trustworthy use of AI. In its new issue of AI at a glance, Plattform Lernende Systeme explains in a concise and clear manner what exactly is set out in the AI regulation, what opportunities and challenges are associated with the law and how the regulations are now being implemented.

'KI & WIR: Stärken nutzen, Vertrauen sichern, Souveränität bewahren' (AI & US Conference: Leveraging strengths, securing trust, maintaining sovereignty)

As a pioneer in AI research, Germany has been well positioned and internationally networked for many years. Not only science, but also the German economy – from start-ups and SMEs to large companies – is increasingly exploiting the potential of AI. At the same time, key questions arise: Where is the technology heading, and what fields of application are emerging? How can Germany and Europe remain competitive in the global arena in the long term – while at the same time acting in a value-oriented manner? How can we remain technologically sovereign, and how is AI changing society? Plattform Lernende Systeme discussed these questions with over 200 guests at its conference ‘KI & WIR.: Stärken nutzen, Vertrauen sichern, Souveränität bewahren’ (AI & US Conference: Leveraging strengths, securing trust, maintaining sovereignty) on 30 September in Berlin.
