Industry calls on the EU legislators to respect NLF principles in the artificial intelligence act
Together with 11 stakeholders, EUnited has today signed a statement addressing New Legislative Framework (NFL) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act).
The proposed regulation laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (the AI Act) builds on the legal architecture of the NLF for products. It adapts some of the well-established principles and concepts to accommodate the specificities of AI. The NLF creates a comprehensive regime for market surveillance, boosts the quality of conformity assessment, and enhances regulatory certainty and ease of compliance. It also improves safety for European consumers regarding products’ safety and performance via strengthened oversight.
While horizontal, the NLF represents a blueprint for a range of product legislation. As a signatory, EUnited supports incorporating the concepts of the NLF into the AI Act. Therefore, when creating an additional layer of AI[1]specific requirements, it has to be ensured that the implementation of the AI Act is being done coherently in the product-specific legislation.
