The EU wants to regulate artificial intelligence, Switzerland is waiting. The HSG wants to show the consequences for companies.

A transport robot that learns how to overcome obstacles: Artificial intelligence AI makes it possible. Such and other AI-based applications were put to the test in recent days at the University of St. Gallen HSG.

Would the new EU regulation on AI affect the applications? What adjustments would companies need to make? Teams of experts from all over Europe took a close look at AI systems in a competition.

The event was organized by Thomas Burri, professor of international law and European law at the HSG, together with his team. The aim, he said, was to generate knowledge and show in practice what impact the EU's AI regulation would have on companies.

Laws are not going to stop AI. It's here and it's not going away. In a couple decades it will be ubiquitous and hard, if not impossible, to tell what items are using AI and what ones aren't. It's like IoT. Nobody knows exactly what those gadgets are doing and what information they are collecting through the network.

Could be, yes, but maybe not. Consumers don't know, but the companies know. This is the reason we have controls and approvals which allow or block certain technology or gadget to at least try to protect the users privacy.

Maybe, almost anything will have some AI contribution in it or maybe AI will evolve in something different. But i don't think we should be scared of it.

Edit: Typo
