The AI Act Regulators

Head of Artificial Intelligence, Brian McElligott discusses the enforcement of the AI Act, highlighting two regimes:

• The AI Office, which oversees general-purpose AI model providers, and
• Market surveillance authorities, which regulate AI systems under existing market surveillance laws.

Brian sets out why each EU Member State must appoint these authorities, with data protection authorities vying for some roles in high-risk AI system oversight.
