🔊 Welcome to another episode of Lunchtime BABLing, where we dive deep into the world of AI and its impact on our lives. In this episode, "Key Takeaways of the EU AI Act," join our hosts, Shea Brown, CEO of BABL AI, and Jeffrey Recker, for a comprehensive analysis of the recently agreed-upon EU AI Act.
🌍 The EU AI Act is making waves as a global law that regulates the use of artificial intelligence. It's comparable to how GDPR reshaped privacy laws, and now the EU AI Act is set to do the same for AI. This episode breaks down the Act's implications, its potential effects on companies and individuals, and what the future of AI governance might look like under this new regulation.
🔑 Highlights of the episode include:
A detailed explanation of what the EU AI Act entails and why it's a game-changer.
Insights into who will be affected by the Act and how it extends beyond European borders.
The classification of AI systems under the Act based on risk levels, including prohibited and high-risk categories.
A look into the conformity assessment process and the compliance requirements for organizations.
Practical steps organizations should take to prepare for compliance.
🤔 Whether you're a tech enthusiast, an AI professional, or just curious about how AI laws impact our world, this episode offers valuable insights. Join us as we unravel the complexities of the EU AI Act and its far-reaching consequences.

Greetings from the UK. I am about to take a short AI course so this discussion was useful. I am also looking at the AI and Algorithm Auditor Certification Program. Will the material in the auditor course allow me to operate in the UK and EU?

The field is currently unregulated, so no formal certification is required to operate anywhere. However, we are in close contact with UK and EU regulators about these issues. See, e.g.: www.gov.uk/ai-assurance-techniques/babl-ai-conducting-third-party-audits-for-automated-employment-decision-tools and github.com/algorithmicbiaslab/public-resources/blob/main/policy/eu/eu-comm_dsa_2023-11-20.pdf

Putting wishful thinking into law. EU AI Act, sure sounds good. Please start with defining just exactly how it will be monitored. Just wrap your head logically around how insanely and clearly impossible THAT is. Now while you are realizing, despite the very plain fact that regulation is imperative AND impossible - now think about what the structure of enforcement is going to look like. Neither exists. Neither can possibly exist. Either would be a structure that would dwarf all the governments of the EU put together. If you are saying the regulations are like the 10 Commandments (good ideas that you really should adhere to) then I say have at it. Anyone who entertains the notion that 'regulation' is going to somehow govern how, where, when AI is used, invoked, configured or injected - they are deluded.
