ABSTRACT
The AI Act, although in principle firmly rooted in values and an ethical approach to the development and use of artificial intelligence, remains primarily a technical and procedural regulation. It contains multi-level regulated procedures that condition the possibility of introducing algorithmic technologies into the internal market. In practice, the ethical dimension of the Regulation in question gives way to a formalistic approach, based on measures ensuring compliance and enforcement mechanisms. Such formalised and technical regulation translates, on the one hand, into a range of obligations and duties to be complied with by the addressees – providers, distributors and deployers of artificial intelligence systems and models. On the other hand, the governance structures discussed above are equipped with control powers to enforce the proper fulfilment of regulatory requirements.
