Abstract

In April of 2021, the European Commission submitted its proposal for a European Union regulatory framework on artificial intelligence. The Artificial Intelligence Act represents the first attempt globally to horizontally regulate artificial intelligence (AI). The extraterritorial application of the AI Act and its likely demonstration effect (the so-called Brussels effect) for policy makers, means that the AI Act will have a range of implications for the development of AI regulation globally, as well as efforts to build international cooperation on AI.
