The BSI Regulatory Services team continuously monitor global AI legislation developments to ensure we're at the forefront of future requirements. If you have questions about these and how they will impact your AI-enabled products, don't hesitate to contact us and we will help you understand the expectations.

European Union (EU) AI Act

The European Union (EU) AI Act, released on April 20, 2021, is the regulatory foundation for which AI systems may be placed on the market or put into service within the EU. The Act aims to ensure that AI is developed and deployed in a manner that is safe, ethical, and respectful of fundamental rights.

The EU AI Act is a significant step towards ensuring trust in the lifecycle of AI systems; and aims to ensure that AI systems are developed and used in a way that is fair, ethical, and respects fundamental rights. While the implementation of the Act will require significant effort, investment, and coordination from global stakeholders, it is a necessary step towards building a future where AI is used to benefit all members of society, without amplifying existing inequalities.

As AI adoption extends across industries, the BSI team are proactively offering services such as conformity assessments, white paper guidance, and on-demand training from its technical experts.

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries and shape our daily lives, companies face the challenge of ensuring their AI technologies are used responsibly and ethically. While regulations may not explicitly mandate AI assessments, there are compelling reasons why companies should proactively opt for AI excellence benchmark assessments of their AI-enabled products, such as:

• Proactive readiness
• Leading expertise
• Competitive advantage

In an era where AI technologies are transforming industries, companies that choose to conduct assessments of their AI-enabled devices reap numerous benefits. From ensuring ethical use to gaining a competitive advantage and building stakeholder trust, AI Excellence Benchmark assessments foster responsible AI practices, positioning companies for success in the AI-driven future.

Algorithm testing is of paramount importance in the field of AI as it directly impacts the reliability, accuracy, and performance of AI systems. AI algorithms, such as machine learning models, deep neural networks, and natural language processing, underpin the decision-making processes of AI applications.

Rigorous testing is essential to validate these algorithms’ correctness and efficiency, ensuring they produce trustworthy results and perform optimally in real-world scenarios.

Information technology - Artificial intelligence Management system.

The need for a robust AI governance framework has led the international standards community to produce ISO/IEC 42001:2023, which provides a certifiable AI management system framework within which AI products can be developed as part of an AI assurance ecosystem. The endgame is to help businesses and society get the most benefit from AI and reassure stakeholders that their systems are being developed responsibly.

Our AI training courses are designed to equip individuals and organisations with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complex landscape of AI standards and regulations. In this rapidly evolving field, understanding the ethical, legal, and compliance aspects of AI is essential for responsible and sustainable deployment.

We are currently developing courses that will offer a diverse range of topics, from the fundamentals of AI regulation to specialised industry-specific considerations, providing participants with the tools they need to develop, deploy, and govern AI systems with confidence.

Whether you’re a professional seeking to enhance your expertise or an organization aiming to ensure regulatory compliance, our future training programs will be developed to meet your needs and empower you in this AI-driven era.
