EU launches AI Office to regulate AI development

May, 29, 2024 Hi-network.com

The European Commission has launched the AI Office to oversee the development, deployment, and regulation of AI in the EU. The AI Office ensures that AI fosters societal and economic benefits while managing associated risks. It will play a crucial role in implementing the AI Act, especially for general-purpose AI models. It will also support research and innovation to position the EU as a leader in trustworthy AI.

The AI Office comprises several specialised units. The Regulation and Compliance Unit will enforce the AI Act across the EU, working with member states to administer sanctions and handle investigations. The 'AI Safety Unit' will identify and mitigate risks associated with powerful AI models. The 'Excellence in AI and Robotics Unit' will fund research and coordinate the GenAI4EU initiative. The 'AI for Societal Good Unit' will focus on international collaborations in areas like weather modelling and cancer diagnosis. Lastly, the 'AI Innovation and Policy Coordination Unit' will monitor AI trends, stimulate investment, and support testing and regulatory sandboxes.

Led by the Head of the AI Office and advised by a Lead Scientific Adviser and an international affairs expert, the office will employ over 140 staff members. These include technology specialists, lawyers, and policy experts. The AI Office will collaborate with member states and the scientific community through dedicated forums and the European Artificial Intelligence Board. It will also support research and innovation activities, ensuring that AI models developed in Europe are integrated into various applications, thereby stimulating investment.

The AI Office will officially begin its operations on 16 June, with the first meeting of the AI Board scheduled for the end of June. It will issue guidelines on AI system definitions and prohibitions within six months of the AI Act's enforcement, expected by the end of July 2024. This initiative follows the EU AI Act, provisionally agreed upon in December 2023, and aims to maintain safety and fundamental rights while fostering innovation and investment in AI across Europe.
