What is the AI Pact and the advantages it guarantees
The new laws and regulations developed by the European Union could create difficulties and misunderstandings, for this reason some companies have decided to organize themselves and develop a solution that anticipates those of the EU.
In detail, they worked out an agreement, called AI Pact, an agreement on issues relating to artificial intelligence which can be signed on a voluntary basis. Therefore, these are not rules that must be compulsorily respected, but they guarantee a series of important advantages.
Anyone who signs the AI Pact and undertakes to respect its principles will be able to adapt to community rules in advance, avoiding future risks. They will be able to act in advance to understand the risks of artificial intelligence and how the AI Act, the European regulation on artificial intelligence which will come into full force in the not too distant future, will affect company activities.
In short, the AI Pact accompanies and encourages all companies to plan well in advance all the measures to be taken in order to comply with the AI Act. It is a declaration of commitment that increases confidence in technologies based on artificial intelligence.
