In 2024, the European Union succeeded in adopting the first comprehensive legislation on artificial intelligence on a global scale, also known as Artificial Intelligence Act (or AI Act). The quick expansion of artificial intelligence technologies across society has been one of the primary reasons for moving AI policy from a system based on ethics and standard to a legal framework. The impact of the AI Act will be broad, not only because the EU AI Act will be the first legally binding act worldwide but also because of its approach based on risk-assessment and enforcement structure. In the Future of Privacy Forum’s training on the EU AI Act, participants will become familiar with the obligations and structure coming from the AI Act and understand its position and role into the broader picture of European digital policy.
