How much flexibility do Member States have under the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act primarily aims for uniform regulation across Member States but allows for some national discretion, particularly in areas like labor rights, where Member States may enact laws that offer greater worker protection. While the Act enforces significant uniformity, specific contexts may allow for minor variations depending on national interpretations.
What rights does the AI Act establish for AI system users?
The AI Act introduces critical protections for end users, mandating transparency and accountability from AI providers. Users must be informed when they are interacting with AI and have the right to understand the AI’s functionality and decision-making processes. Additionally, the Act addresses concerns like deep fakes, giving users the right to object and seek legal redress if they believe an AI system is not compliant with the regulations.
Who is accountable for AI decisions under the AI Act?
Accountability under the AI Act is shared among various parties, particularly the creators and deployers of high-risk AI systems. Providers must ensure their AI systems meet the Act’s standards and continue to monitor them post-deployment. Responsibility is determined by the adherence to specific obligations, with multiple European and international laws potentially applying to cases of non-compliance.
What penalties exist for non-compliance with the EU AI Act?
Violations of the EU AI Act can result in substantial fines, up to €40,000,000 or 7% of a company’s global annual turnover for severe breaches. Lesser infractions may incur fines of up to €10,000,000 or 2% of turnover. Each involved party must bear its responsibility, as penalties cannot be transferred through contracts or agreements.
