Sorry I should have said “monitoring AI progress in Europe as a whole” and even then I think it might be misleading.
One of the three central tasks of the AI board is to ‘coordinate and contribute to guidance and analysis by the Commission and the national supervisory authorities and other competent authorities on emerging issues across the internal market with regard to matters covered by this Regulation;’
For example, if a high-risk AI system is compliant but still poses a risk the provider is required to immediately inform the AI Board. The national supervisory authorities must also regularly report back to the AI Board about the results of their market surveillance and more.
So the AI Board both gets the mandate and the information to monitor how AI progresses in the EU. And they have to do so to carry out their task effectively even if it’s not directly stated anywhere that they are required to do so.
I hope this clears it up, I’m happy that you found the post useful!
Thank you for this! Very useful.
In what sense is the AI board (or some other institution?) responsible for monitoring AI progress as a whole?
