Implementation of the EU AI act calls for interdisciplinary governance
Abstract
The European Union Parliament passed the EU AI Act in 2024, which is an important milestone towards the world's first comprehensive AI law to formally take effect. Although this is a significant achievement, the real work begins with putting these rules into action, a journey filled with challenges and opportunities. This perspective article reviews recent interdisciplinary research aimed at facilitating the implementation of the prohibited AI practices outlined in the EU AI Act. It also explores the necessary future efforts to effectively enforce the banning of those prohibited practices across the EU market and the challenges associated with such enforcement. Addressing these future tasks and challenges calls for the establishment of an interdisciplinary governance framework. This framework may contain a workflow that can identify the necessary expertise and coordinate experts’ collaboration at different stages of AI governance. Additionally, it involves developing and implementing a set of compliance and ethical safeguards to ensure effective management and supervision of AI practices.
