Regulating AI: Risk-based Approach of AI Regulation

AI applications to be categorized by the levels of risk involved, with appropriate regulatory restrictions and exemptions specified in the regulatory framework. Which type of AI would constitute an “unacceptable risks” that may be strictly prohibited? How can these areas be defined clearly? What kind of applications should be exempted? The European Union’s proposed AI Act (Apr 2021) and ongoing discussion in 2022 has taken a significant step along this approach; initiatives in Asia-Pacific will also be discussed.

Objectives

  • create a better understanding of, and exchanging insights about, relevant concepts and approaches to AI regulation

  • inform, update and share with participants about best practice, developments, relevant governance frameworks, and policy on a national or regional level in Asia and Europe.
  • enable learning processes and foster opportunities for new collaborative working.
