Plattform Lernende System – Germanys Platform for Artificial Intelligence

 

Regulating Artificial Intelligence: The AI Act of the European Union at a glance

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a key technology for the future viability of our economy and society. However, AI systems also harbour risks. With the AI Act, the European Union (EU) has now adopted the world's first transnational set of regulations for the safe and trustworthy use of AI. In its new issue of AI at a glance, Plattform Lernende Systeme explains in a concise and clear manner what exactly is set out in the AI regulation, what opportunities and challenges are associated with the law and how the regulations are now being implemented.

AI in municipal traffic management: Clear goals determine success

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important for local authorities. In traffic and mobility management, it opens up new opportunities to reduce congestion, emissions and inefficient traffic flows. However, its benefits are not determined by the technology alone. Without clearly defined municipal goals and measurable criteria, AI remains ineffective. This is the conclusion reached in a recent discussion paper by the Learning Systems Platform. The focus is on a holistic vision of AI-based traffic management for mobility systems based on the needs of local authorities. The paper offers strategic guidance on how AI can be used as a learning management tool to shape mobility in the public interest.
