quick_read: In February 2024 the Council and European Parliament agreed on the AI Act, a risk-based regulation intended to ensure ethical and responsible AI use across the EU single market. The article examines the governance system in the April 2024 version of the text, noting the creation of a European Artificial Intelligence Office and planned Board, advisory forum, scientific panel, and national competent authorities.

The framework matters because it attempts to institutionalize EU-wide oversight that protects health, safety and fundamental rights while preserving competitiveness and innovation. Uncertainty remains because the analysis is based on a pre-final draft and forthcoming provisions, and the author signals that collaborative governance will need critical assessment for fair and effective implementation.
limitation: Analysis is constrained to the April 2024 draft version and to provisions described as forthcoming, so implementation outcomes had not yet been observed at publication.
tag: Evidence-backed gain

rundown: The text describes the February 2024 political agreement on the AI Act and its objective to promote safe and lawful AI across the single market while balancing citizen protection and industry competitiveness.
