Abstract

The article provides an overview of the genesis of the EU AI Act, its economic and security context, and the intricacies of its international implications. It discusses the main elements of the Act, particularly some changes it underwent during the negotiation process between the EU Commission, Parliament, and Council. The AI Act is set against the backdrop of global economic and security landscapes, reflecting on the strategic implications of AI in the US-China geopolitical rivalry and the EU’s positioning within it. In particular, the article critically highlights the prohibited practices under the AI Act, the introduction of a nuanced classification system for high-risk AI applications, the fundamental rights impact assessment obligation, the new provisions on General Purpose AI and the Act’s governance structures. The article concludes with a forward-looking perspective on the EU’s role in shaping global AI governance, indicating the Act’s potential to serve as an international benchmark.
