Ethical and Legal AI Compliance in the Age of FOSS
summary
EU law treats GDPR and the AI Act as complementary but different regimes: GDPR governs personal data while the AI Act (approved 2024, full applicability August 26, 2026) uses a risk based approach with open source exemption for models released under free licenses unless they create a systemic/high-risk exception. Compliance requires tight legal‑technical cooperation, reproducible documentation, human oversight and audits; open source eases model evaluation and peer review, while interplay with the Cyber Resilience Act and upcoming revisions remains unresolved.
