Several authorities at national and EU levels will be responsible for the governance and enforcement of the new EU AI rulebook.
It is for EU member states to designate the national authorities that will be in charge of enforcing the rules on high-risk AI (HRAI) systems. EU countries can rely on existing authorities or create new ones.
However, national data protection authorities must have powers vis-à-vis certain HRAI systems (e.g. in the area of law enforcement, migration and biometrics).
The European Commission will have broad investigatory and enforcement powers over general-purpose AI (GPAI) models by supervising their use through a newly established AI Office.
A new European AI Board will guide the consistent application of the AI Act across the EU, while an advisory forum and a scientific panel will assist in the implementation of the new rules.
Cullen International is publishing a series of reports analysing different aspects of the new AI rulebook. Part 3 of the report series places an emphasis on all the involved national and European bodies in charge of enforcing the new rules.
