EU AI Policy

The EU AI Act is now law, and organisations across Europe have to work out what it asks of them. Much of the practical detail sits in guidelines, and those guidelines shape how the Act works on the ground.

The difficulty is that the text is written for lawyers and regulators, while the people who have to apply it are managers and builders. A transparency duty can sound simple on paper and still be unclear when a team has to tell a user that they are dealing with an AI system.

My work sits between these two sides. I was an EU AI Act Policy Research Contributor 2023–2024, and I am a Registered Expert in the European Commission Expert Database. This is a registration, not a contract. I have also drafted an independent review of the EU AI Act transparency guidelines, reading them against how AI is actually used at work.

My research on knowledge sharing gives the review its angle. When AI collects knowledge and delivers it to whoever asks, policy has to look at what the system discloses, as well as at what happens to the people whose expertise it draws on.

I write for policy readers as well as for the organisations that have to follow the rules, and I am open to research and policy work on these questions.
