Like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act could become a global standard, determining to what extent AI has a positive rather than negative effect on your life wherever you may be. In February 2024, the European Parliament endorsed the provisional agreement on the AI Act that ensures safety and complies with fundamental rights. Read the press release here.

As AI is being increasingly used in research projects, this new regulation might have implications for you as a researcher. More information about the impact of the AI Act for the Faculty of Science will be coming soon.

If you have any questions or want to get in touch about this topic, you can contact the faculty Data Steward Frans Huigen.
