The EU have legislated to address the evidence of AI harms experienced in Europe, such as self-learning discrimination revealed by Amnesty International in their report 'Xenophobic Machines' - through a flexible framework which reduces the risk of harms occurring in the future while stimulating innovation.

Category: AI Regulation
AI regulation is evolving around the world which means that developers and AI value chain decision makers need to navigate an international patchwork of requirements. The EU won the race to bring the world’s first AI safety legislation to market (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), in force 1st August 2024. Other regions have adopted a range of approaches from the UK with a principles based regulatory framework, and emerging frontier AI safety legislation – to the US Executive Order for artificial intelligence, NYC anti-bias laws and California frontier AI proposals. At a state to state level, the Hiroshima process for advanced AI systems and the Council of Europe framework convention on artificial intelligence and human rights, democracy and the rule of law, have introduced uniformity through the adoption of OECD principles for trustworthy AI. Anekanta® informs AI strategy by advising organisations around the world how to design and develop their product road maps for international interoperability, in addition to assessing the risk of their current and planned use case scenarios.

What does the new legal definition of AI systems mean in practice for commercial use cases?
Organisations may not be certain whether their systems are AI due to the range of contrasting views from vendors and buyers. It is important that they recognise and categorise these systems as soon as possible. Developers, providers and user/deployers of AI systems which meet the EU AI Act definition criteria, and whose decisions are utilised within the EU, have to comply with the law.
