  BACKGROUND INFORMATION

  The EU AI Act was approved by the European Parliament in March 2024, and aims to introduce a regulatory infrastructure that will primarily seek to manage and mitigate the risks arising from high-risk AI typologies, while prohibiting specific AI applications that have been deemed to be incompatible with the public interest. It is expected to define global policy around AI regulation. Compliance with the requirements of the AI is a requirement for any EU business or enterprise that is seeking to implement AI technologies into its workstreams – even within those workstreams which appear to be entirely traditional, and to both AI developers and persons looking to implement third-party AI technology into their processes.

  SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

  This session will aim to introduce attendees to the core notions underpinning AI and its relevance to modern society, touching upon practical applications and key pain points which create a need for regulation. Focus will then shift to the provisions of the incoming EU AI Act and how it aims to regulate artificial intelligence to create trust and accountability without stifling innovation. The session will provide a practical analysis into the process of compliance, and the steps which a person falling within scope of the AI Act must follow in order to utilise AI technologies in a manner which is compliant with the requirements of the EU AI Act.Members and non-members with a general interest in AI technology are encouraged to attend, particularly if they form part of any business that may fall within scope of the EU AI Act because it implements or interacts with AI technology.

  Why is the session of relevance to our members?

  Members and non-members with a general interest in AI technology are encouraged to attend, particularly if they form part of any business that may fall within scope of the EU AI Act because it implements or interacts with AI technology.

  Target Audience

  This session will be of interest to any person with an interest in AI technology or next-gen law and regulation. Critically, the session will be relevant to any service provider or business person that is exposed to AI and or looking to implement it in their business; the EU’s AI rules will apply to both developers and persons who are implementing third-party AI technology into their processes.

  Speaker's Profile

  Gianluca Busuttil is a senior manager within the Tax team at Deloitte Malta, specialising in regulatory compliance and developing areas of regulation in fields such as artificial intelligence and digital services. Gianluca has followed the development of artificial intelligence regulation since the commencement of their discussion at an EU level and has experience in the practical perspective of AI regulation.
