Governing Frontier AI: Status Check, Technical Hurdles & Next Frontiers

The lecture, entitled "Governing Frontier AI: Status Check, Technical Hurdles & Next Frontiers", will explore the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence governance. Two years after the first “ChatGPT moment,” the EU AI Act’s rules on advanced general-purpose AI will soon take effect. Time to take stock: have the regulation’s ambitions to be future-proof truly kept pace with rapid technical developments, or are new gaps emerging? And as the next generation of AI emerges—particularly with the rise of AI agents—how far can and should existing laws stretch? Taking a Technical AI Governance perspective, this session will examine the need for collaboration between legal and technical experts to turn policy ambitions into real oversight.
