Regulating advanced AI under the EU AI Act: the old, the new and the practical challenges
A Sciences Po analysis examines how the EU AI Act applies to advanced AI systems, weighing existing regulatory provisions against new requirements and the practical difficulties that come with implementing them.
Why this matters: The EU AI Act is now law, and the hard part has started. Rules that looked clear on paper are running into real systems built by real companies under real deadline pressure. The gap between what the regulation says and what enforcement actually looks like matters enormously — for developers trying to comply, for regulators trying to act, and for people the law is supposed to protect. Academic analysis like this helps map where the friction is before it becomes a legal or political fight.
