The AI Act has been published on 12 July 2024 in the EU Official Journal. First product safety in general ("GPSR"), now artificial intelligence in particular ("AI Act"): The rapid increase in AI applications has now been matched by EU product safety legislation. With the AI Regulation, the EU is creating a comprehensive legal framework for the placing on the market, commissioning and use of artificial intelligence ("AI").

The AI Regulation is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation.
