Globally significant' AI Act must recognise those affected by AI

The Ada Lovelace Institute is an independent research institute, based in the UK and Brussels, with a mission to ensure data and AI work for people and society. Centring those affected by AI, Ada recommends enshrining legal rights for complaint and collective action and giving civil society a voice within standards setting. Ada recommends expanding and reshaping the role of risk in the Act. Risk should be based on'reasonably foreseeable' purpose and extended beyond individual rights and safety, to also include systemic and environmental risks. The Ada Lovelace Institute, has today published a series of proposed amendments to the EU AI Act aimed at recognising and empowering those affected by AI, expanding and reshaping the meaning of'risk' and accurately reflecting the nature of AI systems and their lifecycle.
