Programmes Digital, Industry & Space AI, data & cloudThe European Commission’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Office has launched a targeted stakeholders consultation process on the future guidelines on the AI system definition and the implementation of AI practices that pose unacceptable risks under the AI Act.
The guidelines will help national competent authorities as well as providers and deployers in complying with the AI Act’s rules on such AI practices ahead of the application of the relevant provisions on 2 February 2025.
The AI Office invites stakeholders, including AI systems providers, businesses, national authorities, academia, research institutions and civil society to submit their input. The contributions received will feed into the Commission's guidelines on the definition of AI system and prohibited AI practices under the AI Act, to be published in early 2025.
The legal concepts regarding the AI system definition and prohibited AI practices are established in the AI Act. This consultation seeks additional practical examples from stakeholders to feed into the guidelines and provide further clarity on practical aspects and use cases.
The consultation is open for stakeholder input until 11 December 2024.

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.
