This book provides a stinging critique of the regulatory underpinnings of the EU AI Act, delivering a trenchant criticism and asserting that there is no shortage of reasons for enduring skepticism. This book uncovers the multifaceted architecture underlying both the EU AI Act and the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, revealing its technological, social, philosophical, and legal shortcomings. Chapters focusing on doctrinal, social, technological, philosophical, historical, and economic stances are carefully paired with fruitful discussions about bespoke standards for addressing the ever-evolving issue of algorithmic decision-making, such as enhanced safety, protection of fundamental rights, sustainability of the rule of law, and redress of algorithmic wrongs.
