Abstract

This article aims to analyze and describe the major developments in a concise manner, focusing on the characteristics of digital regulation and its possible legal developments. It offers a critical examination of these developments, focusing on the classification of AI systems by risk, transparency and data governance obligations for foundation models, developers duties to disclose training data and uphold copyright, and the emphasis on ethical, human-centric AI principles such as explainability, fairness, and human oversight together with its geopolitical implications of a ruled-based AI. It explores the regulatory innovation tension from a legal perspective, scrutinizing intellectual property (IP) rights, liability frameworks and compliance burdens. In conclusion, the article assesses the European Unions strategic vision for AI governance as articulated through its most recent proposals.
