About the meeting
In February 2023, WP.6 launched a project on “Regulatory compliance of products with embedded artificial intelligence and other digital technologies.” This project aims to develop a recommendation on the cross-border compliance of products with embedded AI and other technologies as well as to develop a guidelines document to help implement this recommendation and notably
- Formulate a clear definition of artificial intelligence within a product context, and considering eventual variations/deviations thereof
- Articulate a clear definition of software embedded into products, and considering eventual variations/deviations thereof
- Give consideration of the whole product life cycle in digital regulation (continuous compliance) incl. for example
- Risk management
- Standards
- Conformity assessment
- Market surveillance
- Metrology
- Provide guidance on how to balance the multitude of various legitimate regulatory objectives (e.g., cybersecurity, product safety, resilience, privacy) and the fast-moving nature of digital innovation (acknowledging that the former has the potential to stifle the latter)
- Highlight and address the need for cross-sectoral regulatory impact assessments considering horizontal digital frameworks coinciding with sector-specific technical regulation
This meeting will bring together experts in artificial intelligence, market surveillance, conformity assessment, metrology, standards, risk management. It will aim to establish an outline of the future documents, discuss the above points and set a roadmap for the implementation of this project.
