Der AI Act und seine Auswirkungen auf die Forschung: Eine Interpretation

About the event

The Thuringian Competence Network for Research Data Management networks the research data management advice centres located at the Thuringian universities (University of Erfurt, Ilmenau University of Technology, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Bauhaus University Weimar) and makes its services available to all Thuringian universities. We offer counselling and training on all issues relating to research data. Among other things, we regularly organise coffee lecture series - the current series is dedicated to EU legal acts that explicitly deal with data. The lectures show the current legal situation and how knowledge of this affects the handling of research data.

The Artificial Intelligence Act, or AI Act for short, which came into force on 1 August, represents a significant step towards regulating the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the European Union. The Act aims to promote the responsible and safe use of AI.

This presentation will introduce the roles defined in the AI Act and categorise them in terms of their relevance for researchers. Furthermore, the categorisation of AI systems into different risk categories and their potential impact on research on AI systems will be discussed.

The term AI in the AI Act is relatively broad. The implementation of the regulations and further developments, also with regard to research, should be kept in mind.
