In this episode of Data Chronicles, host Scott Loughlin explores the challenges of defining artificial intelligence (AI) under emerging laws, including under the EU AI Act. He is joined by Hogan Lovells partner Etienne Drouard and senior associate Olga Kurochkina to discuss the difficulties in drawing clear lines around what qualifies as AI, the importance of that definition under the EU AI Act for both developers and users, and the broader landscape of AI regulation. The conversation highlights the importance of distinguishing AI from automation, the compliance obligations that follow, and the ways AI legislation continues to evolve.
