Survey Artificial intelligence Act (AIA)
Thank you for taking the time to fill in this Survey! My name is Yassine el Kouazi. I am a third year Information Sciences student on the Vrije Universiteit. For my bachelor's thesis Information Sciences I am researching the new AI legislation. On Wednesday 21 April, the European Commission published its proposal for the regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The regulation can have a major impact on developers and users of high-risk AI systems. They have to meet many new requirements. In fact, some applications of AI are considered so dangerous that they are banned in the proposal. In my thesis I try to investigate what IT professionals think of the new AI legislation and how Dutch AI companies are preparing for the new legislation. In the survey, the proposal for the regulation will first be briefly described, followed by a number of questions. Filling out the survey takes about 10/15 minutes.
The Survey consists of 5 sections with open and closed questions:
1) Overview of the AI proposal
2) Introduction questions
3) AI Categories
4) How prepared is my company?
5) General Opinion questions
