Navigating AI regulation: EU focus

International Bar Association: Global Insight podcasts

The EU’s AI Act came into force in 2024 and will regulate Artificial Intelligence systems in the European Union based on which ‘risk category’ they fit into. Its provisions will mostly become applicable over the next two years.

The Act is far from the only piece of legislation or agreement covering AI in the EU, with others including the updated Product Liability Directive, a proposed AI Liability Directive and the Council of Europe Framework on Artificial Intelligence.

In this Global Insight podcast, we consider the significance of the developments with:

• Marc Rotenberg, President of the Center for AI and Digital Policy and Chair of the IBA’s AI Task Force
• Susie Alegre, human rights barrister and author on the impact of AI on human rights
• Ed Turtle, a senior lawyer on the Products Team at Cooley, focusing on tech and AI products; also an officer on the IBA Product Law and Advertising Committee
