Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Lovforslaget implementerer en del af forordningen om kunstig intelligens. Forordningen er direkte gældende i Danmark og regulerer anvendelsen af kunstig intelligens ved at inddele brugen af kunstig intelligens i risikoområder. Hvis anvendelsen af kunstig intelligens udgør en betydelig risiko for grundlæggende rettigheder, sikkerhed og sundhed, er anvendelsen forbudt i EU. Som led i implementeringen skal der udpeges myndigheder i national lovgivning, der har ansvaret for tilsynet med de forbudte former for AI-systemer i Danmark. Lovforslaget udpeger således Digitaliseringsstyrelsen, Datatilsynet og Domstolsstyrelsen som markedsovervågningsmyndigheder med de nødvendige tilsynskompetencer. Digitaliseringsstyrelsen udpeges som bemyndigende myndighed og som centralt kontaktpunkt. Forordningen træder i kraft i etaper. Den del af forordningen, der regulerer tilsynet med anvendelse af kunstig intelligens på de områder, der i forordningen er højrisikoområder, træder i kraft til august 2025. Der ventes yderligere lovgivning, i takt med at andre dele af forordningen om kunstig intelligens træder i kraft.
