Cybersecurity and AI safety in focus at European Parliament discussion
IMCO will discuss cybersecurity risks linked to advanced AI systems and how EU rules apply in practice.
Members of the European Parliament’s Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection are set to discuss the safety of AI systems that could pose serious security risks.
According to the event description, the discussion will examine how existing EU legislation applies in practice, particularly the AI Act and the Cybersecurity Act. It will focus on how advanced AI systems are developed and managed when they may present security risks, and on how companies are implementing the EU rules and the challenges they face.
Experts from ENISA, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, and the European Commission are expected to take part. They will explain how the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks operate in practice across the EU, including the rules governing AI systems.
The discussion also comes as the European Commission has proposed changes to the Cybersecurity Act. In the European Parliament, the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy is leading work on the file, while IMCO is contributing an opinion focused on internal market and consumer protection aspects.
