The AI Act: Responsibilities of the European Commission (AI Office)
AI Act 1 year ago ● 2 sources
The European Commission must fulfill 130 distinct responsibilities to implement and enforce the EU AI Act, including establishing governance systems, drafting secondary legislation, and conducting enforcement activities. Key deadlines include February 2, 2025 for prohibitions on certain AI systems to take effect, August 2, 2025 for notified bodies and general-purpose AI rules, and August 2, 2026 for most high-risk AI system requirements to apply. The Commission's slow buildup and bureaucratic procedures present challenges for meeting these tight implementation timelines across governance, secondary legislation, enforcement, and evaluation tasks.
