AI Act and law

The European AI Act is an important legal framework for AI applications, but a lot of other legislation is also relevant in the context of AI. For instance, for data-driven and AI applications, the GDPR, copyright, and the Digital Services Act are also potentially of great importance. In addition, more traditional legal frameworks also play a role in the responsible development and implementation of AI, for example, consumer protection and contract law.
