In this episode of Legal4Tech - The Podcast, Rosie welcomes back associate professor Gianclaudio Malgieri from Leiden University to discuss his role as main editor of The EU Artificial Intelligence Act: A Thematic Commentary.

We discuss topics such as:

• How a two-year editorial marathon turned the AI Act into 38 thematic chapters for students and researchers.
• The challenges of coordinating 41 authors from 14 countries and diverse backgrounds.
• Balancing depth and accessibility when explaining complex AI rules and their interaction with GDPR and other EU laws.
• How the book aims to guide future policymakers, national authorities and courts in interpreting the AI Act.

Tune in to go behind the scenes of a major EU AI regulation project and get a practical roadmap to studying the AI Act.
