The European AI Act introduces a risk-based regulatory framework that
will significantly affect the adoption of artificial intelligence
across public administrations and enterprises. Its impact, however,
will depend on how legal obligations are translated into
organizational processes, procurement strategies, and accountability
mechanisms.
The research will focus on the practical implementation of the AI Act,
with particular attention to the transition from experimentation to
deployment, the governance of AI procurement, and the integration of
compliance requirements into decision-making structures. It will
combine doctrinal legal analysis with case studies and design-oriented
methodologies in order to develop operational tools capable of
supporting policymakers and strategic decision-makers.
Activities will include regulatory analysis, stakeholder engagement
with public and private actors, and the development of practical
guidance and dissemination outputs aimed at fostering responsible,
transparent, and sustainable AI adoption.
