I. The AI Act

• Two regularly updated blog post list all available documents as well as the key dates over the next 12 months with regard to the implementation and enforcement of the AI Act on European level.

• Find in this archive all AI Act related documents from the very first elaborative steps in 2015 over the legislative proposal by the European Commission in 2021 to the political deal that concluded the trilogue negotiations in early 2024.

• If you are looking for further explanations outside official documents, have a look at my publications: a legal guide published by C.F. Müller, a list that clarifies the relationship between recitals and articles, an overview of all implementation / enforcement tasks of the Commission and a similar overview for the Member States.
