Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly determining the daily work of many companies, authorities, associations and NGOs. The EU's AI Regulation, which comes into force on August 2, 2024, brings numerous new regulations that companies, authorities, associations and NGOs need to be aware of immediately. In addition to data protection consulting on the use of AI systems, Scheja & Partners also provides legal advice on all issues relating to the AI Regulation. Our lawyers have many years of experience and can help you - also with the help of specially developed tools and software solutions such as the PrivacyPilot– to use your AI systems in a legally compliant manner - quickly, competently and on attractive terms. The focus is on pragmatic and risk-oriented solutions.

We help with the development of "AI competence"
The AI Regulation obliges companies, authorities, associations and NGOs to ensure an "adequate level of AI competence" among their employees. "AI competence" includes knowledge of the opportunities and risks of AI, the rights and obligations arising from the AI Regulation and the ability to competently use AI systems. As this applies to all AI systems, regardless of their risk classification, all entities that use AI systems are affected.
Due to the short transition period of six months, the obligation to guarantee AI competence will apply from February 2, 2025. Therefore, entities using AI systems should act as quickly as possible.
Companies and public authorities should therefore take action now and ensure that their employees are AI- competent. Scheja & Partners offers training and eLearning courses on the topic of "AI competence". These not only provide theoretical background, but also practical knowledge for "daily business" with real-life examples from consulting practice.
Analysis of your AI systems and support with the implementation of your obligations
The core element of the AI Regulation is determining the specific obligations that apply to you. The first step is to check whether there is an "AI system" within the meaning of the AI Regulation. If this is confirmed, the "role" of the companies, authorities, associations and NGOs and the risk posed by the respective AI system must be determined. This is linked to special obligations that must be observed when using AI.
Due to the uncertainties, exceptions and delimitation difficulties in the legal assessment of AI systems, you should not conduct the assessment yourself, but leave it to experts. Scheja & Partners provides you with comprehensive advice on all legal issues relating to the AI Regulation, including the complex determination of role and risk and thus shows you your individual obligations. This allows you to fully concentrate on your core business and ensure that AI systems are used in compliance with the law and that there is no threat of official sanctions (such as fines).
