The Seoul National University Artificial Intelligence Policy Initiative (SAPI), in collaboration with the Center for Law & Economics and the Center for AI Reliability at SNU, invites you to the upcoming SAPI Colloquium.
We are honored to host Professor Martin Ebers (University of Tartu), President of the German Robotics & Law Society, who will give a talk titled:
"Risk-Based Regulation of Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the EU's AI Act."
Professor Ebers, named one of Germany’s Top 5 Legal Influencers by Beck-Aktuell in 2023, is a prominent scholar in the field of emerging technologies, including AI. In this colloquium, he will explore the EU AI Act as a case study for understanding the implications and limitations of a risk-based approach to AI governance. His insights will shed light on the true meaning and direction of risk-based AI regulation.
Below is the abstract of his talk:
The recently adopted Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) of the European Union (EU) claims to implement a risk-based approach to avoid over-regulation. This talk will argue that risk-based regulation is indeed the right approach to governing AI. At the same time, it will demonstrate that, contrary to the claims of the European Commission and the co-legislators, key provisions of the AI Act diverge from a genuinely risk-based approach. Against this backdrop, the presentation will explore what lessons the AI Act offers for lawmakers worldwide as they develop their own approaches to AI regulation.
Date: July 1, 2025 (Tuesday)
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (KST)
