  • Progress projects on logging and record keeping to support the AI Act
Proposal(s) topic:

Artificial Intelligence

Impact on SMEs:
Impact on SMEs (1st Open Call)
Providing technical clarity on the right information elements to log is key to supporting the AI Act, and the more clarity that is available, the cheaper it will be for SMEs to comply. There are also many SMEs providing tools to support AI governance, which could receive a significant boost by aligning with the resulting standardised log files.
Impact on society:
Impact on society (1st Open Call)
The AI Act envisages that logging can enable post-market monitoring. In future, these standardised logs may provide the ability to have a “black-box” associated with high-risk AI systems, potentially monitored in real-time, reducing the manifestation of risks that have an impact on society.
Proposal(s) title:
  • AI standardisation in ISO/IEC and CEN/CENELEC on AI verification and validation
Proposal(s) topic:

Artificial Intelligence

Impact on SMEs:

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
All three projects are likely to be relevant to the AI Act. SMEs will benefit from clear guidance and societal stakeholders have a voice in the projects. If these projects did not exist, then SMEs would need to rely on lawyers, analysis and academic literature to be compliant.


Value of Research

The draft EU AI Act (including both sets of amendments) lays down significant requirements for logging and record keeping in AI systems.
