In the latest privacyespresso episode, hosted by Matthew Newman, Global Chief Correspondent at MLex, we explore the evolving landscape of AI regulations with Beatriz Rodriguez Gomez, Partner at RocaJunyent. Beatriz shares critical updates and insights into the EU AI Act, which came into force on August 1, 2024. As the AI Office gears up to roll out the much-anticipated Code of Practice, businesses must stay informed and prepared for the upcoming changes.
Key highlights :
– EU AI Act overview: The legislation emphasizes a risk-based approach, focusing on high-risk AI systems and requiring companies to adopt rigorous compliance measures.
– Code of practice: Beatriz explains how this framework, set to be finalized by May, will guide companies in meeting the AI Act’s requirements. By adhering to the Code, organizations will be presumed compliant, significantly easing the regulatory burden.
– Stakeholder collaboration: Hundreds of stakeholders, including companies, NGOs, and privacy advocates, are contributing to the drafting process. This collaboration aims to ensure the Code addresses industry needs while upholding stringent data protection standards.
– Copyright and data quality: Beatriz discusses the importance of AI models adhering to transparent data usage and respecting copyright rules. The quality and sourcing of data used for AI training remain pivotal, with regulatory scrutiny increasing.
Why it matters: The AI Act and the upcoming Code of Practice will reshape how companies approach AI and data protection. Beatriz emphasizes that while tech-savvy organizations may be ready for these changes, smaller businesses may face challenges. The focus will be on providing a balanced regulatory environment that promotes innovation while safeguarding fundamental rights.
