You are cordially invited to the SAPI Colloquium, organized by the Seoul National University Artificial Intelligence Policy Initiative (SAPI), in collaboration with the SNU Center for Law & Economics and the SNU Center for Trustworthy AI.

This colloquium will feature Professor Martin Ebers (University of Tartu), President of the German Robotics & Law Society, who will present on “Risk-Based Regulation of Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the EU's AI Act.” Professor Ebers, recognized as one of the Top 5 Legal Influencers in Germany (Beck-Aktuell 2023), is actively engaged in research on AI and emerging technologies. In this talk, he will provide an in-depth analysis of the EU AI Act, offering perspectives on the true meaning and direction of risk-based AI governance.
 

Below is a summary of Professor Martin Ebers’s presentation.

The recently adopted Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) of the European Union (EU) claims to implement a risk-based approach to avoid over-regulation. This talk will argue that risk-based regulation is indeed the right approach to governing AI. At the same time, it will demonstrate that, contrary to the claims of the European Commission and the co-legislators, key provisions of the AI Act diverge from a genuinely risk-based approach. Against this backdrop, the presentation will explore what lessons the AI Act offers for lawmakers worldwide as they develop their own approaches to AI regulation.
