The European Union's AI Act has been passed and must now be implemented in its member states. In a "Bits and Bäume Policy Lab" we want to reflect on this important regulation for systems with so-called “artificial intelligence” from a sustainability perspective and discuss its political implementation in Germany: To what extent does the new AI regulation address sustainability aspects? What is needed for its implementation and how can it be designed? Is there potential for improvement or sharpening?
