The Commission is collecting feedback on the rules to set up a new scientific advisory group of  independent experts on artificial intelligence.

The AI Act foresees a scientific panel of independent experts on AI to assist the AI Office and national authorities in the implementation and enforcement of the AI Act. This advisory body will play a key role in the governance, offer technical advice and input on enforcement, including the ability to alert the AI Office of risks posed by a general-purpose AI model.

The Commission will adopt an implementing act to lay down the rules and procedures for establishing and operating this scientific panel. Once these rules are in place, the Commission will launch a call for expression of interest to select the experts.

The draft implementing act is open for public feedback via the Have Your Say portal. You can Submit your comments by 15 November 2024.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.

At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
