izvajanje in uveljavljanje akta o umetni inteligenci / implementation and enforcement of the artificial intelligence act

Akcija je bila usmerjena v spremljanje in vplivanje na nacionalno implementacijo akta o umetni inteligenci, saj ta odpira številne priložnosti in hkrati izzive za varstvo temeljnih pravic ter vlogo civilne družbe. Osrednja cilja projekta sta bila povečati vključenost civilne družbe v javne razprave ter izboljšati zaščito temeljnih pravic pri uporabi umetne inteligence v Sloveniji, ob hkratnem opozarjanju na pomanjkljivosti akta in spremljajoče zakonodaje.

Naše aktivnosti so bile osredotočene na tri ključna področja:

• implementacijo akta v nacionalni zakonodaji, kjer smo pripravili komentarje k zakonu o izvajanju akta ter sodelovali z odločevalci in nadzornimi organi,
• izvajanje akta v praksi, kjer smo pripravili priporočila za podatkovne zbirke visokotveganih sistemov in sodelovali z organi za varstvo temeljnih pravic,
• naslavljanje vrzeli v regulaciji, zlasti na področju vojaške in obrambne rabe UI ter nacionalne varnosti, za kar smo pripravili poseben policy brief za regulacijo UI v vojaške in obrambne namene ter na področju nacionalne varnosti in nadzora meja.

Za učinkovito doseganje ciljev smo se povezovali s ključnimi deležniki, izvajali komunikacijske aktivnosti, objavljali na spletu in družbenih omrežjih ter organizirali izobraževalni dogodek za novinarje in javni dogodek za zainteresirano javnost ter odločevalce. Projekt je okrepil glas civilne družbe v razpravah o umetni inteligenci in prispeval k bolj premišljenemu ter k varnemu, odgovornemu in pravno skladnemu razvoju ter uporabi umetne inteligence v Sloveniji.

Kaj smo dosegli

• Okrepili smo zmogljivosti nevladnih organizacij za učinkovito zagovorništvo zakonodaje o umetni inteligenci, ki spoštuje temeljne vrednote in človekove pravice.
• Izboljšali smo kapacitete DJND za zaščito in uveljavljanje temeljnih pravic v okviru akta o UI.
• Povečali smo zavedanje javnosti o njihovih pravicah ter o pomanjkljivostih obstoječe regulacije umetne inteligence.
• Dosegli smo večjo vključenost nevladnih organizacij v procese oblikovanja nacionalne zakonodaje na področju umetne inteligence.

The action focused on monitoring and influencing the national implementation of the Artificial Intelligence Act, as the Act presents significant opportunities as well as challenges for the protection of fundamental rights and the role of civil society. The two main objectives of the project were to increase the involvement of civil society in public debates and to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the use of artificial intelligence in Slovenia, while also drawing attention to shortcomings in the Act itself and in the accompanying legislation.

Our activities focused on three key areas:

• National implementation of the Act, where we prepared comments on the draft law implementing the AI Act and engaged with decision-makers and supervisory authorities;
• Practical application of the Act, where we developed recommendations for data registers of high-risk AI systems and cooperated with authorities responsible for the protection of fundamental rights;
• Addressing regulatory gaps, particularly in the areas of military and defence uses of AI and national security, for which we prepared a dedicated policy brief on the regulation of AI in military and defence contexts, as well as in the field of national security and border control.
• To effectively achieve the project’s objectives, we worked closely with key stakeholders, carried out communication activities and online and social media outreach, and organised a training event for journalists as well as a public event for interested members of the public and decision-makers. The project strengthened the voice of civil society in debates on artificial intelligence and contributed to a more thoughtful and legally robust introduction of AI in Slovenia.

What we achieved

• Strengthened the capacities of civil society organisations to effectively advocate for AI legislation that respects fundamental values and human rights.
• Enhanced the capacities of DJND to protect and enforce fundamental rights within the framework of the AI Act.
• Increased public awareness of individual rights and of shortcomings in the current regulation of artificial intelligence.
• Achieved greater involvement of civil society organisations in national legislative processes related to artificial intelligence.
