Das neue Recht der Künstlichen Intelligenz

The new artificial intelligence act
Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act)

(Please note: This title is only available in German.)

The subject of AI fascinates and disquiets people in equal measure. The existing applications for artificial intelligence are extremely diverse; the potential areas of implementation are even greater. This makes detailed regulatory support of use and development processes all the more important. The AI Act aims to create a binding legal framework for the whole of the EU.

The legal framework created by the AI Act is primarily for the development, launching on the market and using AI systems. The EU Regulation therefore directly affects all AI providers and operators.

For companies and legal specialists, implementation is challenging. The book “The new artificial intelligence act” provides responsible persons with a practical working aid. It walks you through the fundamental requirements of the AI Act step by step. This also includes aspects related to liability law, in particular, which result from the new AI Liability Directive.
