In March 2024, a few days before the European Parliament endorsed the EU's AI Act, the tekom taskforce on EU regulation sent a position paper to the the European Parliament. The paper represente tekom's view of the Act in the form available at that time. Since then, we have been drafting a white paper on the Act for the tekom community, written in response to the final version of the Act in July 2024.
Focusing on the material of the position paper in light of the final version of the Act, but also anticipating the white paper, this talks concerns the challenges and opportunities the Act has for the technical communications community, including:
- Quality standards for technical documentation and instructions regarding the use of generative AI (GenAI)
- Minimum requirements on how technical documentation and instructions for use shall be created for AI in general
- Requirements for the technical documentation and instructions for use of in-house, non-commercial AI
- More details of the simplified technical documentation form in the Act, including what is in it and who will create it
Takeaways
- The tekom taskforce sent a position paper on the proposed AI Act to the European Parliament prior to its endorsement
- The final version of the Act removes some concerns
- However, issues remain, to be discussed in the forthcoming white paper
