Part of situation: EU AI Act: Implementation, watermarking, and regulatory push (189 clusters)

EU AI Act faces enforcement and medical regulation challenges

EU AI Act medical device regulation AI safety deepfake regulation AI accessibility

The European Union faces complex challenges in implementing the EU AI Act, particularly regarding risk assessment and enforcement. While the Act defines risk based on the probability and severity of harm, practical difficulties remain in quantifying these factors. Politically, SPD-EU representative Birgit Sippel is calling for more aggressive enforcement, suggesting that providers violating rules—especially regarding deepfakes and sexualized content—should be banned from the European market rather than just facing fines.

In the medical sector, the TÜV Association has issued a warning regarding potential regulatory conflicts. They argue that reforms to the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) must not be used as a pretext to strip away the AI safety requirements established by the AI Act, which they view as essential for patient protection. Simultaneously, TÜV SÜD is advising MedTech startups to engage in early dialogue with notified bodies to mitigate business risks stemming from regulatory uncertainties in software and AI development.

On a social level, the KI-Kompass Inklusiv project recently held a conference in Berlin to discuss how AI assistance can promote professional inclusion for people with disabilities, emphasizing the need for direct participation in the development of these technologies.
