New Artificial Intelligence act. A practitioner’s guide

New Artificial Intelligence Act: A Practitioner’s Guide, edited by Janine Wendt and Domenik H. Wendt, offers a practical and accessible introduction to the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), which is the world’s first comprehensive legal framework for AI. The new rules will profoundly affect the future use and development of artificial intelligence from a legal and economic perspective.

The book explains the key regulatory concepts, including risk classifications, the obligations of AI providers and users, compliance requirements, liability issues, and the governance of general-purpose AI systems. Translating complex legal provisions into clear, actionable guidance, the book also considers the current guidelines of the EU Commission.

This timely and insightful book is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in the rapidly evolving field of AI regulation. It is particularly valuable for legal professionals, compliance officers, business leaders, policymakers and anyone seeking to understand how the AI Act will influence the development and application of artificial intelligence in Europe.
