“If/When the monitoring of transformative AI systems becomes necessary, the AI Act ensures that the European Union will have institutions with plenty of practice.”
It’s true that setting up institutions earlier allows for more practice, and I suspect the act is probably good on the whole, but it’s also worth considering potential negative aspects of setting up institutions earlier. For example:
potential for more institutional sclerosis
institutional inertia may ~lock in features now, despite having a less clear-eyed view than we’ll likely have in the future
