The guidelines will help national competent authorities as well as providers and deployers in complying with the AI Act's rules on such AI practices ahead of the application of the relevant provisions on 2 February 2025.
The AI Office invites stakeholders, including AI systems providers, businesses, national authorities, academia, research institutions and civil society to submit their input. The contributions received will feed into the Commission's guidelines on the definition of AI system and prohibited AI practices under the AI Act, to be published in early 2025.
The legal concepts regarding the AI system definition and prohibited AI practices are established in the AI Act. This consultation seeks additional practical examples from stakeholders to feed into the guidelines and provide further clarity on practical aspects and use cases.
Participants can find more information on the consultation, which will be active later today. The consultation will remain open for 4 weeks, until 11 December 2024.
