EMPOWERING THE AI ACT: LIMITS AND OPPORTUNITIES
summary
Panel argues the AI Act currently limits protection by treating consumers as generic “users,” omits a clear without prejudice clause, and relies too heavily on transparency. Concrete proposals on the table include adding emotional recognition and social scoring to prohibitions, requiring a human rights impact assessment, and giving the Commission special enforcement powers for cross‑border cases. Implementation hurdles are practical: national DPAs lack trained staff (examples: ~100 in Germany vs under 10 in one country), thousands of amendments are expected, and firms need training and automated DPIA tooling.
