The regulation of Artificial Intelligence is at an important stage, with the European Union taking the lead through key legislative frameworks such as the AI Act (AIA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA). These regulations aim to create a safer and more accountable digital environment while safeguarding fundamental rights. However, while the European Union has outlined a clear direction in terms of regulation, their practical implementation remains an open challenge. In particular, the interaction between these two frameworks requires closer examination to understand how they address the risks AI poses to fundamental rights, such as privacy, non-discrimination, and freedom of expression.
This workshop aims to analyze how these new regulations will shape the AI technologies of the future and their impact on our lives. We will cover issues such as the ability of the AIA requirements to be operationalized, privacy, fairness, and explainability by design, individual rights and AIA, generative AI, AI risk assessment, and much more.
The workshop will bring together legal experts, tech experts, and other interested stakeholders for constructive discussions. The workshop's main goal is to help the community understand and reason over the implications of an AI regulation, what problems does it solve, what problems does it not solve, what problems does it cause, discuss the new proposed amendments to the text of the AI Act, and propose new approaches that maybe have not been tackled yet.
