With the EU AI Act set to become law soon (see 2405210001), the European Commission launched an internal AI Office expected to play a major role in implementing the measure. The office includes a regulation and compliance unit to ensure the act is uniformly enforced across the EU; a unit on AI safety to identify systemic risks of very capable general-purpose models and possible mitigation measures; an AI for societal good unit to deal with international engagement on issues such as weather modeling and cancer diagnoses; and a unit for AI innovation and policy coordination to oversee the EU's AI strategy and AI take-up. The office will be led by an AI Office head under the guidance of a scientific and an international affairs advisor. The organizational changes become effective on June 16; the act itself is expected to take effect in July, after which businesses have two years to comply.
Search Primer
Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.
Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").
Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.
Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).
Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).
Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").
Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
