Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our everyday lives and has transformed the way we interact with technology. From voice-based assistants to personalised offers on streaming platforms or online shops, to the world of work, it permeates many aspects of our daily routine. AI can perform automated tasks, analyse huge amounts of data, and use algorithms to make predictions and complex decisions, simplifying, improving and changing the way people work. Ground-breaking technology has created a plethora of arguments for and against, arousing both sympathy and scepticism. To this end, regulating and legislating AI is one of the important legislative tasks of our time, in order to use it in a responsible, ethical and accountable manner, while minimising the risks to society and individuals.
