THE EU AI ACT AND THE RIGHTS-BASED APPROACH TO TECHNOLOGICAL GOVERNANCE
Georgios Pavlidis
Abstrakt
The European Union AI Act constitutes an important development in shaping the Union’s digital regulatory architecture. The Act places fundamental rights at the heart of a risk-based governance framework. The article examines how the AI Act institutionalizes a human-centric approach to AI and how the AI Act’s provisions explicitly and implicitly embed the protection of rights enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. It argues that fundamental rights function not merely as aspirational goals, but as legal thresholds and procedural triggers across the life cycle of an AI system. The analysis suggests that the AI Act has the potential to serve as a model for rights-preserving AI systems, while acknowledging that challenges will emerge at the level of implementation.
