In this episode, I interview Risto Uuk, the EU Research Lead at the Future of Life Institute in Brussels. He researches European Union Artificial Intelligence policy, including the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. Risto is a PhD researcher at KU Leuven studying the assessment and risk-mitigation of general purpose AI models. We have an expansive conversation covering the most groundbreaking parts of the EU AI Act, the negotiations behind it, and the broader applications and risks of artificial intelligence throughout the world. I hope you enjoy this episode!
