Armstrong begins by clarifying the misconception that AI is unregulated in Europe by detailing existing cases where regulators have leveraged GDPR to address AI-related issues, including suspensions and fines against AI companies. The EU AI Act, which reached political agreement in December 2023. It has arisk-based approach, the two-year period until full implementation, and its potential impact on corporations, particularly in terms of compliance and competitive advantage.
Armstrong also considered the Act's extraterritorial reach, enforcement challenges, and the potential for high fines, drawing parallels to GDPR enforcement patterns. We covered the complexities of AI application compliance, the importance of proactive preparation by corporations, and the need for increased board-level awareness and diversity to effectively manage AI-related risks and opportunities.
