‍Artificial intelligence has been given a legal framework. After long negotiations, the legislators agreed on the new regulations agreed, which follow risk-based approaches. Even if that won't be enough, a start has been made. It is the world's first comprehensive legal framework for AI. Maybe it was on one or two Christmas lists as a wish.

Merry Christmas 

Yours, Angela Struck
