This is the third in our video series on AI and Archives done in collaboration with the EU eArchiving Initiative. The EU AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive AI legislation. It has just come into force. What does it mean for us? Can I still build or deploy AI systems? Will the new regulations apply to services from outside of Europe? Are there any exemptions for research or open source? We look at these an other issues that confront anyone using or providing AI systems in Europe. We also take on upcoming changes that will, for the first time, mean that software and on-line services fall under product liability laws! All in the time it takes for a calming cup of tea.

Adam Farquhar, founder of Digital Lifecycle Management, discusses the new legislation and its impact.
