This brAInfood discusses the topic of 'legal sandboxing' for artificial intelligence (AI) in more detail, as mentioned by the High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI HLEG) of the European Commission in the document 'Policy and Investment Recommendations for Trustworthy AI'. But what exactly are 'legal sandboxes'? What is their added value, and for whom are they an added value? How will they be designed?
In order to get more clarity about this, the Knowledge Centre Data & Society asked Katerina Yordanova, researcher at CiTiP (KU Leuven) specialising in the area of human rights law in the digital environment and business and human rights, some questions about 'legal sandboxes' for AI. She also wrote an article 'The Shifting Sands of Regulatory Sandboxes for AI' on the blog of the CiTiP research centre in which she elaborates on the concept of 'legal sandboxes' and the origin of such 'sandboxes'.
