    Regulation of AI has received increased attention recently. Why transversal regulation
    focusing on AI as a particular technical paradigm have been the most visible, it's important
    to recall that existing regulation of algorithms, personal data, and automatic decision systems,
    especially in sensitive domains like health or education, should already be shaping AI
    development and deployment.

    AI is often treated as a black box, that only is accessible to researchers or other actors with
    technical insider knowledge. However, as AI is affecting everyday life of many people, it is crucial
    for all stakeholders, including regulators, advocacy organisations, courts, and private citizens,
    to understand what “is inside” different AI systems. Legislation, transparency and openness is
    needed to give all stakeholders an active voice in shaping the trajectory of AI.
