Abstract

After 37 hours of negotiation the European Commission, the Parliament and the member states agreed on the EU AI Act (details of the final wording still need to be done). Particularly controversial issues were the regulation of foundation models (LLMs) and the use of AI for facial recognition in public spaces. In both cases an agreement could be found. Topics of our discussion will be both, technical details of the final outcome and also the political process that led to this result.
