CAIDP Europe has co-signed a significant letter, led by BEUC, urging the European Commission to establish independent national market surveillance authorities under the AI Act. This initiative highlights the necessity of impartial oversight to ensure ethical AI development, protect consumer rights, and mitigate risks such as bias and discrimination. By advocating for these independent bodies, CAIDP Europe and other signatories aim to foster public trust and promote a safe, transparent, and equitable AI ecosystem.

The European Commission has announced further details about the creation of the EU AI Office. The office will play a key role in implementing the AI Act, ensuring compliance with regulations designed to promote trustworthy AI practices. The new entity aims to provide guidance and support to businesses and organisations, fostering a safe and innovative AI landscape in Europe (photo: European Commission’s executive vice president for digital, Margrethe Vestager | Diarmuid Greene/Getty Images).
