Research Handbook of Regulatory Compliance under the EU AI Act and the Code of Practice for General-Purpose AI Models

This book provides a stinging critique of the regulatory underpinnings of the EU AI Act, delivering a trenchant criticism and asserting that there is no shortage of reasons for enduring skepticism. This book uncovers the multifaceted architecture underlying both the EU AI Act and the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, revealing its technological, social, philosophical, and legal shortcomings. Chapters focusing on doctrinal, social, technological, philosophical, historical, and economic stances are carefully paired with fruitful discussions about bespoke standards for addressing the ever-evolving issue of algorithmic decision-making, such as enhanced safety, protection of fundamental rights, sustainability of the rule of law, and redress of algorithmic wrongs.

"I highly recommend this work to anyone who seeks not just to comply with the law, but to understand the profound “moral architecture” of the digital world we are currently building. It is a vital contribution to the global legal library and a necessary guide for our shared journey into the unknown. For these reasons, I am pleased to commend this volume to all readers who seek to understand the EU AI Act."

Prof. Shen Wei, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Law School

"This Foreword invites you, dear reader, to engage with a work that is simultaneously a practical guide for compliance now, as well as a profound manifesto for the protection of the Rule of Law in the age of AI." 

Prof. Ronald Montague Silley, European Executive Co-Dean, China-EU School of Law at the China University of Political Science and Law, Hamburg, Germany

"This book presents a vivid panorama of contemporary AI governance, distinguished by its broad scholarly vision and incisive critical spirit. It adopts an multidisciplinary approach that integrates law, philosophy, economics, and computer science. It constructs an analytical framework both theoretically profound and practically instructive".

"This book not only tells us where to go, but also teaches us how to do, what we can do and what we must stick to. When AI is exerting a profound influence on law, society and power structure, it is not only an academic manual to explain EU rules and guide compliance practice, but also a knowledge declaration to defend the rule of law, protect rights, pursue fairness and resist algorithmic dictatorship."

Prof. Peter Chi Hin Chan (Associate Professor at City University of Hong Kong).

"Com notável precisão, os autores registram a urgência regulatória e, ao mesmo tempo, o dissenso quanto ao método: a normatividade não pode nascer de soluções episódicas, sob pena de se exigir do cidadão uma aceitação acrítica de correlações."

Prof. Fauzi Hassan Choukr, FADI - Faculty of Law of Sorocaba, Brazil.
