Complying with the EU AI Act
This work addresses compliance issues for organizations under the EU AI Act, but it is incremental as it primarily analyzes existing data without introducing new methods or solutions.
The paper tackles the challenge of organizations complying with the EU AI Act by developing a questionnaire to generate quantitative data, revealing various compliance challenges and the influence of organizational characteristics like size and sector.
The EU AI Act is the proposed EU legislation concerning AI systems. This paper identifies several categories of the AI Act. Based on this categorization, a questionnaire is developed that serves as a tool to offer insights by creating quantitative data. Analysis of the data shows various challenges for organizations in different compliance categories. The influence of organization characteristics, such as size and sector, is examined to determine the impact on compliance. The paper will also share qualitative data on which questions were prevalent among respondents, both on the content of the AI Act as the application. The paper concludes by stating that there is still room for improvement in terms of compliance with the AIA and refers to a related project that examines a solution to help these organizations.
