Zusammenfassung

The concept of AI has always been controversial because there is no broad consensus on its definition. This is problematic from a legal perspective, as laws require precise and specific definitions, especially for concepts that have a direct impact on the scope and reach of the regulation, having this choice technological, economical and legal implications. During the European Union’s AI Act legislative process, there has been a debate on the legal definition of AI, with diverging definitions of AI System being proposed by the different bodies of the European Union.
